⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Who knew a work trip would turn into a mini vacation?
I booked the Best Western Auburndale Inn & Suites thinking, It’s two nights close to LEGOLAND I just need a bed and a shower. Boy, was I wrong!
The moment I walked in, I was greeted by the manager a tall gentleman whose name I wish I could remember (I do remember he rides a Harley-Davidson to work, so that automatically makes him cool). He was friendly, professional, gave perfect directions, and checked me in so fast I barely had time to admire the lobby. Speaking of the lobby, it’s not huge, but it’s clean, stylish, and says, Welcome now go enjoy yourself.
Then I opened the door to my suite…
I actually looked around to make sure they hadn’t accidentally given me the presidential suite! This room was HUGE! Two 50-inch TVs, a kitchenette, sofa bed, king-size bed, plenty of room to stretch out, and enough space that if I got lost, Google Maps might’ve helped me find the bathroom.
Now let’s talk about the bed whoever picked those mattresses deserves a bonus. Five fluffy pillows, soft sheets, and a comforter so cozy I seriously considered calling my boss and saying, Unfortunately, I won’t be making it today my bed has requested another meeting.
And the silence WOW! Usually in hotels you hear kids practicing for the Olympics upstairs, doors slamming, toilets flushing, someone watching an action movie at full volume, and a family reunion happening next door. Not here! It was so quiet I checked twice to make sure I didn’t accidentally book a hotel inside a library.
Then came breakfast…
Listen I thought I was walking into a continental breakfast.
Instead, I walked into what looked like a miniature Publix! The waffle station had enough toppings to make a five-star dessert strawberries, peanuts, syrups, whipped goodness I half expected someone to ask if I wanted sprinkles.
The refrigerators were packed with yogurt, boiled eggs, bottled water, sparkling water, iced coffee, juices I wouldn’t have been surprised if they had filet mignon hidden behind the orange juice.
This place thought of EVERYTHING.
I came expecting just somewhere to sleep. Instead, I found one of the nicest, cleanest, quietest, and friendliest hotels I’ve stayed at in a long time.
The next time work brings me anywhere near Auburndale, I’m staying here again. Heck I might even invent a business trip just so I can come back.
Best Western Auburndale you absolutely nailed it. Keep doing what you’re doing because you’ve earned yourself a customer for life!
