Wellborn Hotel Downtown, Sonder

Beautiful location, awesome vibe. Restaurant, and bar onside in Beautiful patio area. The rooms were great for the price. No front desk u check in by the app, but if u have issues they're a quick call away, and r happy to help. Free parking on-site, tons of transportation options around downtown. NOTE due to the restaurant and bar, they play music from 5-12am, if u want a quiet place, or are not into being in the center of a vibrant place its not for u. Once they turn off the tunes at 12am it's nice and quiet. I loved my stay, will def be booking again.

Rented a room on 11/23/25 while attending a charity event at the Performing Arts Center. Booked through Bonvoy Marriott. The terms of their agreement were cancelled and I didn’t receive any confirmation that our room was cancelled. There wasn’t anyone at the location to help us. The restaurant attendants were not able to help us, there was no one to answer a call. We didn’t realize we were cancelled until after 45 minutes of trying to figure out the details of our reservation. We had to book another hotel last minute. Just a terrible, non communicative experience. Could have been way better. Sad because we have stayed here for a wedding and loved it. And though we were getting a great room at a good location, for a great price….until it wasn’t actually going to happen!

I booked directly with Sonder website 12/2024 for 11/2025 for Wellborn Hotel Orlando. Between now then and now, Marriott Bonvoy enters into a licensure agreement with Sonder, acquiring the bulk of their 9000+ rooms portfolio worldwide, this location included. So now my previous booking solely with Sonder gets absorbed by Marriott. Fast forward to now, check in is in 3 days. Or is it? No. Because Marriott terminates the licensure agreement due to a default on Sonder’s end. A business/financial decision, I get it. Then the near entirety of Sonder’s staff, with only a few hours notice, is laid off….by their own executive board? By Marriott directly? TBD. Problem? Sonder locations do not have in house staff; other than housekeeping in-between guests, no front office desk staff. You check out

My fiancé and I stayed here last night in the Historic Norment Perry House (room 102). We had a great experience and would absolutely stay at this hotel again. It was so cute and cozy! When booking, we chose the “spacious” option and I think this could be why we had a better experience than some of the other reviewers. Our room was in one of the historic homes as opposed to the larger, pink building rooms. Although there were no staff members, we had everything we needed, our room was clean, and we felt well accommodated. Lots of reviews talked about the loud music at night, and we did hear the music as our room was next to the courtyard. However, our room had a sound machine on the nightstand that worked really well to cover up the music/bar guest chatter and neither of us had any trouble

This place is the epitome of ‘fine’. Don’t interpret that as bad, it’s not bad. The noise thing is a little overblown in the other reviews. But if there is a function on it can be pretty obstructive to any sleep (I was on my own and it would have been super challenging with kids). They provide ear plugs and drop you a text to say there might be noise, they’re doing everything they can short of erecting an acoustic fence… they should erect an acoustic fence though. The room itself was clean but basic. I didn’t spend too much time in it because I was in town for work. The walk to the downtown area can be a little dicey at night - but that’s just me being from a walking culture when everyone here drives. Truly, it’s fine.
