“With its unique seaplane basin location on Lake Dora and its pet-friendly policies, this is a promising destination for families seeking a blend of leisure and outdoor activities; plus, the convenience of in-room wet bars and multiple on-site dining options adds a layer of ease. While some rooms may show their age, the location in the Entertainment District, with its strollable access to shops and bars, can be a key advantage. It's a place with potential, particularly if you value location and on-site entertainment.”
