A Downtown Dream Getaway
Everything was amazing. Check In was super easy. The on site staff were super helpful and approachable. Parking right in the driveway like you are at home. Walking distance to downtown and all the fun surrounding neighborhoods. Even a fun porch off our room.

Loved the convenience of this hotel. Clean room that felt homey and spacious. Only random thing I’ll say is that I wish the beds had full sized pillows.

Great room and location. Only note - it would be amazing if the courtyard string lights could be turned off from 12AM-6AM. It was SO bright inside to room all night long and I didn’t have an eye mask.

Me and my girlfriends stayed at the Wellborn Historical Hotel for one night and we did enjoy our stay. We loved all of the close by restaurants, all walking distance or a five minute drive. The room was super cute, we liked the old feel to it. I was satisfied with my stay.

Perfectly and beautifully nestled into a safe spot within the heart of Orlando. The hotel was fashionably furnished and offered a gorgeous well-lit and jungle-like backyard. This was such a unique and precious find. Parking was more than available, and there were several nearby restaurants, coffee shops, bars, and more.

It's a great place to spend some quality time and get to know Orlando a little better. I should mention that I stayed on a Monday and everything was very quiet, without too much noise.
