Who We Are

The Orange Motel has been a landmark in the Minneola and Clermont landscape since it was first built in 1957. For decades, this property has stood as a welcoming stop for travelers discovering the beauty of Central Florida.

In 1991, our family took over the helm, pouring years of love and hard work into the motel to create the 'sweet' experience our guests know today. We have blended that classic roadside charm with modern essentials—like secure keyless entry, 24/7 surveillance, and Wi-Fi—to ensure every guest feels both safe and at home.

Our dedication to preserving this local gem while providing top-tier service was recently recognized with the 'Best of 2026' award in the Motel category. Whether you are here for the Coast-to-Coast Trail or a professional meeting in our conference room, you are becoming a part of a story that has been over 65 years in the making.

Paws & Pets Are Welcome!

At the Orange Motel, family means everyone—including your dog. Enjoy our historic property and beautiful local surroundings with your best friend by your side. Just be sure to review our guidelines and confirm availability to ensure a seamless check-in!

  • We allow a maximum of one dog per designated-pet friendly room, and they must be registered with the front desk in advance.

  • There is a $75 non-refundable deposit plus a $10 nightly fee.

  • For the comfort of all guests, we kindly ask that you always register your dog at the front desk upon arrival. Don't forget to bring your pet's favorite bedding, as they aren't allowed on the motel linens! Pets must remain leashed in public areas and are not left unattended in rooms.

  • ADA-compliant service animals are welcome free of charge, though emotional support animals are subject to standard pet policies.
