We have stayed here the past 5 years when we do our jetski trip. It is convenient to boat ramp and parking lot is easy to maneuver trailers, boats, and jetskiis. Staff is always nice and rooms are clean. The breakfast is an added bonus!" Wont stay anywhere else when we do our mt dora trip

Elevator was very slow, I don’t like elevators so it made me feel uncomfortable. The stairs door on 1st floor said employees only so I was unable to use stairs. They did provide breakfast but it was not good and very few options.

The location is good, and road noise not a problem. However the heat exchanger outside the room 101 was very loud and so was the in-room unit. Lots of light came through the blind on the window disrupting our sleep. The room was dusty, and the shower a bit grimy. The lighting in the room was dim/inadequate for the room size.

The front desk clerk was friendly and informative. The only issue that I have is the that once we entered the room and sat down to eat a roach came out and went across the table which made the stay less inviting for the family.

After visiting Mt. Dora, we stayed at the Holiday Inn in Tavares. These towns are near each other so the drive was only minutes away. Ethan greeted us and checked us in. He was very friendly, professional and a pleasure to have met. Ethan is an asset to the Holiday Inn chain of hotels, absolutely. Our room was excellent!! It was squeaky clean, modern and so lovely!! The room was spacious and very comfortable. We loved it!! The entire hotel, elevators, and walkways were very clean and lovely as well. We will continue to return to Holiday Inn hotels and we will also let others know to stay there as well.

We stayed 2 nights. As soon as we walked in our room, we turned around and walked out. We asked for a room higher than the first floor. When we turned the bathroom lights on we saw 2 small roaches and silverfish scattering in the bathroom. And I get that the cause could be because the hotel is close to the water. Other than that, no bugs in the next room. Good luck getting an Uber from this location. We were in town for a wedding and we were hoping to Uber to and from the venue which was maybe no more than 2 miles away. Uber never came.

The location is great, lots of fast foods around the area. The staff is amazing. However, they need to put attention on the cleanliness of the rooms. The furniture and carpet are stained. I've stayed a couple of times and that's what really bothers me. Also, the furniture on the reception area needs to be cleaned (they are also stained). The breakfast is excellent. They have a good variety of hot food to satisfy every guest.

Property was ok. I feel like the rooms need some updates also the bathroom. Room smelled a lot like Clorox. And also I think the sofa bed needs a whole update. That mattress is sooooo bad. And my question is do they even clean that sofa bed??

Check in time was supposed to be 3:00 p.m. But when we checked in and they gave us our room key, we found out room wasn't ready. Had to wait 15-20 minutes for the room to be cleaned. We stayed two nights and they had signs everywhere indicating "Refresh daily", but after coming back to our room the second day nothing was done. Bed was unmade, trash still in wastebaskets and towels were not replaced, bathroom was dirty.

I’ve stayed at other hotels and left items that were never returned. The staff was pleasant and friendly at check in & out.

This hotel was not on our radar but we needed to find a place to stay after leaving another hotel which was less than desirable. They easily accomodated us and even gave us early check-in as we were exhausted from our long drive. Check in was easy, the room was very clean and the people were friendly. Breakfast was nothing to write home about but it was free and saved us money on that meal. We decided to extend our stay due to personal business and I couldn't be more pleased with how it was handled by the property. Overall a nice, no-frills, clean place to stay in the heart of Leesburg with a nice restaurant within walking distance next door. Close to Eustis, Tavares and Mount Dora. And the pool looked nice, too, but I never got the chance to use it.

We have stayed at this hotel yearly over the last 4 years and each year the service and quality has declined. When we checked in we could only have 1 key because there was a shortage. There were no cinnabons for breakfast either morning...the Holiday signature. Last year they didnt have cinnabons our first morning. We talked with hostess who said they woouldnt have any for 2 days...that was half a week miscalculation,so much for signature treat. Rooms are only cleaned every 5th day which isnt reflected in the cost of the room. Fresh towels were brought in but glasses and soap(smallest I ever saw) were not replaced. Finally toilet paper is same as a gas station. The luxury Holiday Inn was known for is fading fast

Stayed at this property during my son's basketball tournament at the Big House. Hotel is very clean and the rooms were nice. The Free hot breakfast had lots of options, however, the food needs to come out quicker when gone, especially during big events in the area. There are a lot of restaurants in the area. Will definitely stay here again.
