What guests think

Reviews of La Bella Inn depict a no-frills, budget stop with friendly staff and simple rooms, though experiences vary between clean, comfortable stays and reports of traffic noise, inconsistent cleanliness, and occasional safety or pest concerns.

Rooms are basic and often spacious, but lighting and furniture can be sparse, beds or pillows uncomfortable, and some fixtures dated. Amenities are minimal, with no pool and typically no on-site breakfast, while parking outside ground-floor rooms is convenient. The location is practical for Mount Dora, lakes, and shopping, though a few guests cited issues like a lost reservation or unfulfilled requests. Overall, expect a simple, low-cost stay with basic comforts and trade-offs.

Kinda of a weird place. Absolutely no amenities at all. Management was horrible and lost my reservation. Lots of people hanging around outside. Rooms were new remodeled, but that's it. Other better options close by.

Escaping extreme cold, just wanted an inexpensive ground floor room that I could park my car in front of door and this motel met all requirements. Room was clean, housekeeper took good care of my needs and staff was friendly. No food service (not even continental breakfast) at all, but that was ok.

Compared to la quintina i stayed in the night before this is a huge improvment. Rooms are spacious with a decent sized tv so you can leave your bonoculars to watch shark tank haha. Batroom shower head does need to be updated since if you dont point it at the oposite wall you will get a puddle going. Bed itself is a little on the stiffer side which i didnt mind. Pillows on the other hand only 2 and they were flat so if you dont bunch them up you will wake up with a neck cramp. Room itself was clean didnt notice anything out of the ordinary. Door locks need to be updated as well, double-check if its locked before going out or sleeping. Shampoo and soap dispensers were a nice tuch but were empty (i carry my own anyways). Price was within range and there is a gas stasion next door for a drink n some junk food. No other amenaties. I will be staying there again since i just sleept in the room and wasant looking for anything special.

It's a no-frills motel that offers reasonable accommodations. You get a clean room, outstanding water pressure in the shower, a fridge, and a microwave. If you are looking for fancy, this isn't it, but if you are looking for a clean, pocket-book-friendly place, this might fit your bill.

The place is great for a place to stay esp for the price, you get what you pay for and it was somewhere to lay my head for the night shower and head home. The frontdesk was an amazing lady and the people staying there were very friendly..if your with your family on vacation spend the extra money there is nothing fancy about this hotel and if my travels ever take me to that area i will definitely stay there again

The location was fabulous, just not a good set up , the Desk area had NO PLUGS !!! to use our computer, And they had NO LIGHT ON DESK ??? It was very inconvenient. The room was very dark, and the comforter and curtains made it worse They are red to dark . Just need more lights and get some surge protectors to plug in multiple devices. No Breakfast, i think the price was a bit high. If in area for summer wouldn't stay here to hot not to have a pool.

The room was clean, but our non-smoking room still smelled of cigarettes, and the smoke detector had been pulled off the wall and was nowhere in sight. The staff are friendly and courteous, and their room rate was reasonable.

FIRST THE OWNER SAID HE WOULD BRING ME A EXTRA PILLOW AND HE DID NOT. TWO DAYS NO PILLOW WAS BROUGHT, THE DOOR WILL NOT SHUT PROPERLY AND YOU CANNOT FLUSH THE TOILET. THE HANDLE IS STUCK LIKE CHUCK. YOU CAN SEE DAYLIGHT ALL AROUND THE FRONT DOOR. PLACE IS A DUMP. FEEL FILTH THAT YOU CAN SCRAPE OFF OF THE REMOTE CONTROL. TRUST ME THE PLACE IS A DUMP. PAY THE EXTRA TO STAY ANYWHERE.

My daughter had a volleyball tournament at the big house and i wanted something close. The building is older but the room was clean and no odor or stains. Its was very quite . The owners were very sweet and the cleaning crew was still getting rooms clean at 730 at night. I will definitely stay her again for a tournament.

Great Counter Service. Easy to book thru Expedia. Very clean. Pretty well updated. Very sparse lighting- two options: one overhead and one desk lamp. None by the beds. Seemed odd. Road it was on was very noisy. Needed a white sound app to sleep better. Price was very reasonable and close to a lot of things to do including downtown Mt. Dora. Beautiful older homes and properties nearby. Worth an overnight stay except for road noise.

THE FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THE CONVENIENT LOCATION TO ALL THAT I WOULD NEED. SHOPPING, LOCAL AND HIGHWAY ROADS. THEN UPON ENTERING MY ROOM, I NOTICED THE SCENT OF CLEANLINESS. THE ROOM WAS NEAT THE MORE THAN SUFFICIENT. MOST HOTEL/MOTELS WONT EVEN SUPPLY YOU WITH A REFRIGERAOR AND A MICROWAVE IN THE ROOM. BUT THIS ONE DID. THE TV WAS ACTUALLY 50". CLEAR DIGITAL CABLE SYSTEM. THE MADE SURE THAT EACH DAY I WAS SUPPLIED WITH COFFEE AND A COFFEE MAKER. AND THEY KEPT ME WITH FREE BOTTLED WATER EACH MORNING. THE SERVICE WAS FRIENDLY AND I FELT COMFORTABLE. I CHECKED REVIEWS BEFORE I ACCEPTED MY ROOM, AND NOTICED MOSTLY GOOD REVIES. I ALSO SAW WHAT LOOKED LIKE AT LEAST ONE SPITEFULL REVIEWS WHICH SEEMED VERKY OBVIOUS. YOU CAN\'T PLEASE EVERYONE. BUT I PERSONLLY CAN ACCOUNT FOR ME. "I WAS PLEASED".
