Nice location on the lake. Watched the sea planes come in and several restaurants within walking distance.
pamela, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very welcoming and pleasant staff. Hotel is the heart of downtown and spread across three different buildings, all overlooking Lake Dora. Downtown Tavares is small but very fun, and activity on the lake can be enjoyed from your balcony. If you're traveling to Tavares, by far your best option.
John, 1-night trip

It was great, and very clean.

The lake view from our room was beautiful! There were different choices of restaurants and bars available in walking distance. The rooms were very big and clean. Only problem was late night screaming and loud vehicles.
