If you need to take a rest from all that exhausting sightseeing, find a shady patch to sit at Lake Dora. Bring some nibbles and a good book ... This is your time to chill!

Located in Tavares, this body of water is worth a look. But you'll find tons more to see in the area. Gilbert Park, Donnelly Park and ViaPort Florida aren't too far away from Lake Dora.

8.2/10 Very Good! (5,210 reviews)
Room was clean and nice, pool was clean and well maintained. We were served for breakfast a scoop of powdered, watery eggs and 3 cold tater tots. Bread served were cheap dinner rolls. Coffee and liquid creamer were both watery and flavorless. We went out for a real breakfast for the rest of our stay.

The only complaint I would have is the motorcycle parking fee. I wasn't told about the extra fee until I was checking in. I stay there a few times a year. Ive never had to pay an extra fee for parking. It's price gouging during bikeweek again.
