The Alfond Inn

Came out to winter park early for a business trip. Decided to stay here for some downtime before my meeting. Very clean, great food, friendly staff. Spent most of the day at the pool. They had a full service menu and bar. Would recommend

This was our first stay at the Alfond Inn. We stayed for 2 nights and for the most part, were very happy with the overall stay, service and location. We ate at Hamilton's each morning for breakfast and had the pleasure of being served by Eduardo. The food & service were both great! While we chose to eat inside both mornings, on Sunday there was a saxophone player outside who we listened to before we left. The room was very clean and well appointed, although I was a little disappointed that there was only one sink in the bathroom. The bed pillow selection could be improved upon. The ones on the bed were extra firm and "high" on the neck, so they caused me pain waking up the first morning. We checked in the closet and found a very soft pillow that was very thin which I used the second night, but that one was too "flat" and didn't provide enough support. It would have been great to have a medium support pillow in the closet that most guests would enjoy. That being said, this was a minor inconvenience in the grand scheme of things, so I'm still giving the hotel 5 stars. Unfortunately we didn't have time to check out the pool or the spa as we were in town for a "celebration of life" but look forward to the next time, so that we can.

The location was perfect I was able to walk to breakfast, lunch and dinner and the bars I wanted to go to were a quick drive away. The rooms were clean and decorated so well made me feel very cozy. The guest services and valet was great too.

This was our third stay at the beautiful Alfond and have previously stayed in a balcony room, this time however we were delighted to have the experience of being upgraded to an amazing suite! Beautiful, comfortable, well appointed and what a view! Thank you David at the front desk for this unexpected gift! Our valet, Christian too, was helpful and pleasant! The coffee shop always has the best coffee, friendly staff and goodies too! We cannot wait to return to this true gem of a home away from home!

I have stayed at hotels around the world and this is one of my favorites. It is beautifully designed and maintained. The staff is fantastic. If you appreciate contemporary art, you will be amazed at the extensive collection, shown not only in the primary public areas but in every elevator lobby and even along guest room corridors. The quality of everything is top notch. The rooms are fantastically clean and well thought out, from the integrated reading lamps by the bed to the comfy sofa so you can actually lounge somewhere other than the bed, to the thoughtful storage spots and hooks in the bathroom.
