Norment Parry by The Wellborn

Any question I had was answered, every problem solved, and the customer service was amazing. The process was simple and smooth from check in to check out. I wish they had more parking space but I understand they have to work with what they have.

We loved the location of the Wellborn, not on a main street, but within walking distance to great restaurants and bars and Lake Eola Park. The property is very charming. We stayed in the pink building, which is very Art Deco. The furniture was sparse, but the bed was extremely comfortable. The only complaint is that our bedroom windows face the patio, with lights strung across it and in the trees, making it a well-lit area, but the lights remain on even after the bar/restaurant closes at 1 a.m. There are no blackout curtains or shades, only plantation shutters so the light filters through and can be disturbing.

The property and rooms are so adorably vintage. Be aware that this property is similar to a vacation rental, so there is no front desk nor constant staff on-site. We ran into a little issue because we arrived before our check-in time and needed a place to store our bags. While the app suggests using Bounce, it was hard to figure out where that was and, when we did, the closest place was over a mile away. Fortunately, we were able to reach a hotel staff member through the Sonder app who was very helpful and accommodating. The bar/restaurant on the property, the Wellborn, is delightful, with awesome cocktails and shared plates. Still, they kept reiterating that they were "not associated" with the hotel when we asked for assistance, which is confusing because the signs all say "Sonder Wellborn." It's a happening spot that was pretty noisy until late, but the acoustic treatment and earplugs provided by the hotel allowed us to get a restful night's sleep.

Great place !!!

It was amazing
