The Eo Inn

If you’re looking for grandiose surroundings and luxurious accommodations this is not the place for you. However, if you’re comfortable in a cozy, unique, well run, clean, artsy, relaxed setting with an ideal location, this may be just what you’re looking for. This was our second year at the Eo Inn and we will likely be back for a third next year. The Hotel is aesthetically appealingl in it’s own unique way. Many of the rooms have a wonderful balcony adjacent, perfect for an early morning coffee or a cool sip of wine later in the evening. Safe parking is provided for fee and there are many wonderful restaurants and clubs available nearby. The big attraction of course is Eola Lake Park directly in front of the hotel. It is breathtakingly beautiful. A wonderful place for a walk or to enjoy the many activities that occur there. Wifi could certainly be bit stronger, but other than that our experience on two different occasions has been tops. Great place, great value. We highly recommend.

Stayed here for NYE night. Perfect location as it is walking distance to all the restaurants and bars in downtown. The balcony view was super cute as well. Staff was very friendly. The room was perfect for our one night getaway. Nothing over the top which was just what we were looking for.

Have always enjoyed this inn when I visit Orlando. Very convenient to downtown and to all conveniences. However, I am disappointed that the in house spa is unavailable (moved out). Wish they had given discounts to nearby spa houses in the Lake Eola area.

Unique, hip styling are the hallmarks of this little 17 room hotel at the foot of beautiful Lake Eola.
Wife and I have stayed here twice now… in the double queen suite and the king bedroom. Each time everything was immaculate, safe and cozy. The third floor has a sitting porch the width of the building. The second floor deck is wide, with hot tub, deck chairs, table and umbrella. Both are open to all guests.
The staff has always been friendly and very helpful. Parking in the private lot is very convenient to the entrance. Rates are very reasonable for a downtown location, much more so than the Big Box hotels!
Walk to restaurants, walk the beautiful park space.
Haven’t tried the spa, but it looks very tempting! We’ll be back.

Sigh.
Ok… so, I was in town for one night and instead of the usual stay at x hotel I thought, let’s check out a new place… unfortunately, that backfired a bit.
I’ll dive in with… paper thin walls. I heard people walking through the hallway at 3am… as well as doors shutting all through the night. In pretty sure I heard my neighbors making love as well. Like, for real… they came into their room a little later than 3am and woke me up with their loud talking… then I heard them breathing heavy and making grunting noises. No dirty talk, luckily, but I was in between my sleep hearing these fools next door getting busy. That should never happen at a hotel.
Now they do offer free bottles of water — that was a nice perk.
And the front desk staff was super nice. Like exceptionally nice and really the main reason that I even bumped it up to 2 stars.
Back to the bad… the bathroom had patches of putty where they had repaired the wall… but never repainted it. How hard is it to add a fresh coat? It wasn’t like a little patch, it was a pretty noticeable patch. The hallways also had A LOT of visable wear and tear… and another putty patch. Come on man, just paint it.
Location is nice though. Right in downtown across from lake eola.
Parking was free. The lot is super small and can be tricky to park, but we did fine.
Back to the bad… The bed– pretty sure the frame was broken as the right side pretty much sunk down almost to the floor. I had to sleep on the left — but it was a teeter totter effect with my wife all night as I tossed and turned, I felt like I was about to launch her into the TV. Plus the pillows were pretty stiff.
Overall the rooms were pretty small, and while they did offer a nice balcony, we didn’t use it on our stay. I don’t think I’ll be coming back on future trips… they have a lot of housekeeping items (wear and tear) to take care of, and the bed was one of the most uncomfortable I’ve slept in.

A stellar experience in luxury lodging. A very hip choice. Beautiful room, very clean and friendly but unobtrusive service. A very private boutique hotel perfect for a weekend getaway or for a business traveler looking for something a little more upscale than the usual. I love staying here. The manager Eddie was very helpful in helping me find a great spot for dinner and Becky at the front desk was helped me set up my Über account. A very pleasant stay.

We were greeted by Kimberly and she was extremely helpful all the time! She placed in our hand a list of do’s and don’ts that was appreciated to look at to answer the simple questions about the EO Inn. Eddie was helpful as well. The entire front desk was nice and the desk was maned most times. Housekeeping rocked! Elizabeth was helpful with out towels we requested. We had to place a few on the tiled floors in the bathroom… brrrr…a bit chilly when you walk on in the a.m. or day. Our room was on the corner and had a private patio which we loved. Being over top of the Panera Bread was never an issue… we never heard any sounds of a restaurant. We did hear our loud guests above us made more noise, lol! My only thing if I had to say would be the mattress need an update as they were super soft. I am a «firm» person and believe all hotel beds should be firm. We would go back for sure! It was nice to be across from Lake Eola and our business trip allowed us to enjoy it a few times as we walked to our destinations in downtown Orlando.

Wonderful, independent boutique hotel in downtown Orlando. It’s tucked into a mixed use neighborhood that is primarily residential and light office. The area is a great mix of old architecture alongside a park and Lake Eola. Our room was on the small size but had a balcony that made it seem roomier. Nice linens and towels! Very quiet, common rooms on each of the two floors of hotel rooms and a warm and accommodating staff.

We happened to stumble upon this place a couple years ago from a Google search. We fell in love with it immediately! I booked a room the second time and proposed at Lake Eola. It was so perfect and we even had a couples massage and I booked her a mud treatment to give me time to set up the proposal. So we decided to get eloped in Orlando and of course we knew where we had to stay. This place is the best! I’ve never been somewhere so relaxing, romantic and just peaceful I guess is the best way to describe the EO. Location is perfect! So many great restaurants nearby and even a World of Beer across the lake. We always go to the rooftop spa and have never seen another guest. I’ve always felt like we were the only people there and I love that. Absolutely the most perfect couples getaway ever. This is hands down my most favorite hotel I’ve ever been to (and I’ve been living in them for 3 months straight around the world). I really can’t say enough and I can’t wait to get back with my wife for another amazing stay.

Hotel as a good location, but besides that it’s awful. We had ants in the bathroom and bedroom. The outlets are so loose nothing will stay in the outlet to charge. The pillows were not comfy. The room was so dim! Barely any lighting. The bathroom was very dirty.

I had a great experience at this little inn! Our room was very clean and comfortable. The location is fantastic, and we were walking distance to everything. The parking was free, which is awesome, as most downtown hotels are $ 20+ for parking. Being on top of Panera was nice at 7:00 a.m. when we were hung over and craving a quiche! We thought we were going to spend most of our time downtown, walking around, but actually spent most of our time in our room and it was awesome! We had a bubble bath in our garden tub, enjoyed the roof top Jacuzzi, and loved our balcony seating area. We stayed in the King balcony room, and it was actually much larger than expected. Very open, and airy, yet also had a cozy feel to it. The inn felt very secure, as you need an electronic key to even enter the building. We will definitely return.

I was hesitant to book this hotel due to the reviews but I did anyway primarily for the location the my short stay (2 days). I took the chance and unfortunately I regret it. Upon entering the room the smell of musty carpet was so overwhelming I had to open the balcony door to air it out! The room was clean and looked decent enough but the odor was intolerable. When I went to the front desk to notify them about the smell no one was there except another couple waiting to be checked in. They were so upset to be waiting for over 15minutes at the front desk. Additionally the computer screen was up with everyone’s information to be seen. The lady Kim at the front desk was nice and explained that the carpets were cleaned and probably did not dry properly. Since it rained that day she thought that also contributed to the smell. I had to get some carpet freshener to sprinkle on the ground since they were sold out of rooms. She offered to reimburse me for the carpet freshener but seriously how about comping the smelly room! At $ 174-​$ 197 for the two nights that was totally unacceptable. By the morning the smell went away somewhat but that afternoon it rained again. OMG rain came in the room through the CLOSED window and got all over the carpet and everything got wet!!!
Guess what here comes the smell again! So now I am wondering if this is how the carpet were «cleaned» as Kim told me previously. I nor anyone I know will ever stay here again and I would not recommend this hotel based on my experience.

I love this place. Very cozy and employees are awesome!!! This is our second year and is now become our annual getaway! Walking distance to everything from clubs to great food. I would recommend for couples only.

I really don’t like to rant about bad things. But seriously. I don’t think it can get much worse. For an inn and spa, I expected the place to be relaxed and cleaned.
Coming from California, we came here for vacation. Nice area with a lake and downtown vibe a few blocks down. The first thing we noticed was there were very few parking spaces available. We had to park where it said «tow away area, no parking.» Walking in was a nice and helpful blonde guy, he was probably the only thing good here. The art around the hallway was abstract with powerful colors which was not really relaxing to look at. But as always, art is subjective.
After going up to the 3^rd floor, we saw a few industrial size fans in the hallway. With closed doors, you could still hear the fans. The windows inside the rooms were not very insulated either. I could hear all the traffic noise along with the rain. It sucks being a light sleeper because I hardly slept. Along with that, their queen deluxe rooms had a spring mattress that was completely worn out. It was horrible. The «private bath with a walk in shower» had no doors which made the restroom floor wet and flooded after any shower. The tiles along the floor and walls had different color mold on it. The sink had the handles on the right side and the sink compartment was smaller than a. I was having trouble washing my hands.
Overall I will never suggest this to anyone.

I love bed & breakfasts: the offer so much more charm and character than a large chain. I have not stayed at the inn, so my review is for the spa services. I had a 10am appointment for a massage. The masseuse was friendly, and I was very satisfied with the results. The hotel itself is well decorated, although parking appears to be quite limited. Perhaps someday I’ll get the opportunity to stay here.

Stayed here during some business training — The inn is right across the street from the Day building — so the location was perfect. The lake is right across from the street, and there was even a great cheese and wine tasting! The owners of the Inn set up karaōke in the parking lot, and we sang all night.
The service was top notch — front desk was happy to make special accommodations for our room, as well a late check out. Our bedding was comfortable, room clean, and the bathroom was huge. We stayed in the «Miss Sammie» room (211).
Highly HIGHLY recommend this place! Wish I had time for a massage, because the spa looked heavenly.

This is a well priced, friendly character, and nicely located boutique hotel. The neighborhood is very walkable with a lot of local bars and restaurants.
I highly recommend upgrading to a balcony room where you have a private outdoor space. There is also a common outdoor patio with hot tub. It was really quiet and have historic character. The welcome staff were really warm and helpful. Free parking.
The hotel is more about the neighborhood and a unique, clean, safe lodging option. There are not the amenities that you might find with a full service chain hotel. But the price and location make up for it. The hotel is best for business travelers and couples. Probably not the best option for a family with children.

The hotel occupies an excellent location right on picturesque Lake Eola and the nice Thornton Park neighbourhood.
Check in is through the spa reception at the back of the building, which may seem a little odd at first but was pretty painless.
Our room was plain but nice enough and pretty spacious, with a balcony providing some outdoor space.
The balcony runs the length of the building so is was shared across the other rooms, however there are curtains which can divide this of should you want to spend time out there in private.
There is an outdoor hot tub, wifi, parking and a Panera Bread bakery downstairs for those of you who like a pastry, coffee, soup, sandwich etc! Very handy for breakfast.
Its a slightly confusing set up with the layout of common areas and rooms i.e. treatment and bedrooms next to each other. No massive deal though.
Wouldn’t hesitate to go back next time I am in the area.

The eo inn is a great boutique hotel right across from lake eola and just minutes from downtown Orlando and lake eola amphitheatre. The room was a little small but was clean comfortable and nicely decorated. The staff is very friendly. The balcony was awesome very nice and comfortable. A few little quirks however, the fire alarm in my room was chirping all night and the air was pretty loud. I alerted the front and they came up and checked the smoke alarm. Very nice hotel. I would recommend this place to those visiting downtown Orlando, lake Eola Area.
