I liked the property, very nice by the lake and pool. I know its an older establishment, but i wish they had a mini fridge. Ice machine was broken. And for the price of staying, there was no complementary breakfast and coffee could've had been better tasting.

Old School Florida Perfection

I loved every moment of my visit to the Lakeside Inn. I was immediately and warmly greeted at the check-in counter, which was so nice. Later, the server at Tremains Tavern was very hospitable and made great recommendations (the tomato pie was amazing!). Housekeeping staff was efficient & always greeted me as I came & went from my cottage. My room was very clean, nicely furnished, and comfortable. I am already looking forward to my next trip!

This is an old fashioned historical hotel. If you are thinking you are going to the Ritz Carlton, this hotel isn't for you. The pool and view is lovely. It's quiet and in the heart of downtown.

Beautiful historic property with lots of charm. Great choice for history buffs like ourselves. There were quirky parts of the room we stayed in, but to be expected in a historic building. Lovely porch to relax and have a cocktail.

Nice location. Friendly people. Small rooms, no elevator. Three spiders in the bathroom with webs! Yellow water from the bathroom sink. Nice bed, horrible pillows. If it wasn't for the view and the location, it would not have been a good trip. I don't think we will stay there again.

This was our first time staying here. We were here for 2 nights. When we woke up the first morning there, there were little bug wings everywhere and we also found a pair of sweat pants behind one of the night stands. When I told the front desk about these, the lady said the wings were fairy wings and when I told her about the pants, all she had to say was, “that’s gross”. Yep, it was gross!
