This time we had dinner elsewhere but their restaurant is great, noticed on previous visits. We'll have breakfast in the Beauclaire again tomorrow and I'm sure it will be as good as ever. As two seniors we appreciate that we were given a room with few steps to navigate.

8/10 Good

The Lakeside Inn is so historic built in 1883 and one of the historic hotels in the US. Quaint with a lot of charm. Right on the Lake with gorgeous views and walking distance of the town with lovely shops and eateries. Claire’s Creperie was fabulous in the town for breakfast. We had a double bed suite but the room configuration was odd with the sofa bed in a separate room only accessible via the bathroom, meaning the bathroom had two doors to it. If you are looking for a relaxing place outside of the madness of Orlando would recommend for a couple of nights.
CLAIRE, 1-night trip

We loved the old charm of the Lakeside Inn! It was a perfect setting for our 42nd anniversary get-a-way! Our room was very comfortable and the views were amazing! The staff at the hotel was very friendly. The food at the restaurant was delicious!

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.
