Nestled about 20 minutes from touristy Orlando, this hotel is located in a beautiful, quiet, and safe area, providing a wonderful respite from the hustle and bustle of the theme parks and I-Drive.

Went with my girlfriend for her birthday and stayed for two nights. She's picky and tends to have expensive tastes, but she was still impressed with the one-bedroom suite. Unfortunately, we didn't get a chance to explore the other amenities in the hotel, but we spent a ton of time in the room relaxing after a day at the parks and thoroughly enjoyed the comfort and homey accommodations the room provided, e.g. the full fridge, stovetop, and dishwasher.

However, it's the people that made this stay incredible.

Even before we arrived, I was already impressed with the willingness to go above and beyond for their guests. I called a week or two in advance, hoping to set up a pleasant surprise for my girlfriend and ALEX from Front Desk was quick to take ownership and made it all happen. We checked in to find a nice gift basket with snacks and a bottle of my girlfriend's favorite wine.

Later, I wanted to surprise my girlfriend again, so I managed to slip away to obtain a birthday cake from Publix, conveniently located about 5-7 minutes. When I approached ARIANNI from Front Desk about hiding the cake until the following night, she, without hesitation, also took ownership and kept it safe in the kitchen until I was ready.

The hotel was nice, but it's the staff that makes this place stellar. Special shout-outs to ALEX and ARIANNI for helping to make my girlfriend's birthday memorable.
