    Our room

    This is by far the best, most serene, and relaxing place. Beverly the inn keeper was the best host and excellent cook. Breakfast was bountiful and delish. She arranged for a massage in house and it was wonderful. We had the Hirsch room with the sleeping porch which was so relaxing especially in the rain. This home is historical and is easy travel to all the entertainment venues. Thank you Beverly for a great stay 10 stars

    A delightful breakfast on the Porch at the Thurston House. So much delicious food!

    I must begin by sharing I am a retired Executive with Marriott/Ritz-Carlton. Therefore, I have very high expectations when traveling. Simply put, my family and I love this B&B. Beverly was so welcoming from the minute we stepped foot on the property. My in-laws and father (all in their 80s) and my two daughters' in there 20's, were obsessed with the decor and wraparound porch. There was so much history that Innkeeper Beverly Fuller shared with us as Thurston House was built in 1885 and then completely restored in the 90s and kept immaculately. We all fell head over heels in love with this property, from the ambiance to the F & B, to the warmth of Beverly's genuine southern hospitality. The moment she greeted us ‑ we were charmed. We could not have asked for a better location. It was minutes from Park Ave in Winter Park and the iconic Rollins College, where my daughter happened to be graduating from the weekend we stayed. It was also Mother's Day weekend, and I could not get a reservation outside for a large party; Beverly offered to host us at Thurston House. She worked with me in advance on a personalized menu, floral arrangements & more, which were displayed in a five-star fashion. Beverly is an exceptional cook, has excellent attention to detail, and how she does all of it by herself was a mystery to all of us. Everything was spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished. My husband and I stayed one extra night for some needed respite and renewal. Beverly created a delightful stay for us. Overall, a wonderful place; we will stay here again and recommend it highly. We all left feeling we had discovered a new perspective on B & B travel. Thurston House is truly a breathtaking destination for just a weekend get-away or the perfect venue for a small gathering or special occasion. With our daughter now residing in Winter Park, this is our new home away from home!

    Thurston House is a must for B&B visitors! Beverly makes the most delicious breakfasts with a gourmet flair. It is a delightful, historical house kept immaculately clean, yet it has that touch of home which improves any stay.

    Beverly is a wonderful host and stayed up late to greet us upon arrival when our plane was delayed.

    Stayed here on 2 separate visits to the Winter Park area. This hotel is within walking distance of…read morefood and shopping, which is nice. The valet service is very helpful and friendly in each interaction. The beautiful entrance is welcoming when you walk in. It's clean and very spacious with lots of seating. The cafe/bakery to the left of the entrance is nice, with plenty of seating. Check-in was smooth. The room was spacious and clean. The refrigerator was overflowing with ice, which spilled out onto the floor when I opened it; some melted and refreezed. Not sure if it's a good idea to use the ice. So I just walked down to the ice machine and got ice. Housekeeping was on time daily but didn't clean much beyond fixing the bedding and replenishing towels. They didn't even touch certain parts of the room. The same piece of paper remained on the carpet throughout the visit. I know the hotel is affiliated with the college, so you are contributing to a good cause. Room service was a fail all 4 times I tried ordering on both visits, which sucks. When you call the desk, they don't seem to have an answer for why no one picks up. If you use dry cleaning, you have to ask for bags in case you use the laundry service again. If you've used the ones in the room, they don't automatically bring more. I waited until my 2nd visit to see if it would make a difference before writing my review, but it was pretty much the same. But for the area, the price was pretty reasonable. I had breakfast twice in the restaurant downstairs

    This review is based on an event…read more Atmosphere: the event was in the first meeting room to the right of the lobby, and it is the perfect size for an up to 40-person dinner. The big windows in the back are a huge plus: watching the sunset light fade into the evening during the meal was a highlight. The whole hotel is gorgeous. The contemporary art everywhere gives it a high-end feel that's perfect for business events. Food: the charcuterie buffet was a hit. Everything was set up perfectly and tasted fresh, especially the cheeses (I loved the manchego, it was so soft) and the prosciutto. I was a little less impressed with the mains, though. The risotto felt a bit heavy on the cream and was a little too al dente to my taste. The ribeye was cut and cooked in a way that felt more like pork than steak. Everything else I tried, the asparagus, the salmon, and the salad, was pretty good though. Service: every staff member was super friendly and fast, especially the valet guy. I'm definitely planning to come back to check out Hamilton's Kitchen. The bar and dining area look very inviting and classy.

    The stay was... not what I have come to expect from the Hampton Inn brand. I will say that the…read morestaff was very courteous. The room however... I was assigned an ADA accessible room - not needed just what I was assigned and that was fine. When I entered, I noticed there was no shower curtain, I thought maybe that it on purpose although it would make quite a mess with the overhead shower and was probably a slip hazard. I figured I would have to use the handheld shower head and ask the next morning. It was late so I did not want to bother the staff. Water still went everywhere but I had extra towels available. The next day I asked the front desk if accessible rooms were supposed to have shower curtains and she said yes, I said Ok well mine does not. She asked for the room number but I explained I do not like people in the room when I am not there and would be back in a couple of hours. She still asked for my room, and I said again I will give it when I get back. When I returned... my room would not open. I had to try 4 times before it finally opened. The lock would turn green but the door would not budge. This happened the rest of the stay as well. I called down, and housekeeping was on my floor, so she came very quickly. I was told that this room should have a curtain and the housekeeping manager is supposed to check every room not sure how this was missed. This was a HUGE slipping hazard, especially if I actually needed the accessible room. I let the front desk know when I left that this was really disappointing and on top of this the "refrigerator" in the room did not cool anything. I had some ice packs with me that helped me keep the water cool the first night but by the second night they were no longer cooling either. The Hampton Inn rooms are usually quite spacious with a long desk and spacious bathroom. This was not it. tiny desk in the corner. The area, is easily accessible, there are tons of restaurants minutes from Marketplace at Altamonte Springs and the Altamonte Springs mall. There is a Cracker Barrel and Waffle House just behind and across the street from the hotel. There are also other hotels to choose from... All in all, I would probably find a different Hampton Inn property or a different hotel brand next time.. Do better.

I won't lie, checkin was not friendly, but they turned it around. Things to know are the beautifully updated rooms. The hall carpet is older but ok.

The mobile key on my phone didn't work... The property was still under construction during my visit with debris scattered throughout the property. The back door seemed to have been painted by a 5 year old... The interior of the property is getting long in the tooth. The 1 bedroom apartment featured a full kitchen including a noisy fridge and dishwasher... The mattress was very lumpy and the pillows seemed to have seen better days... The sheets were stained and the duvet cover looked pretty worn out too... The wifi worked sometimes. Luckily I was able to connect on my phone or laptop at all times, but wasn't able to connect both at once... The TV featured both local and premium channels. Trouble was that sometimes the signal went out and the TV just showed a black screen...

The surrounding area felt quiet and business-oriented. Check-in was smooth and seamless because Takeisha was so warm and welcoming. She even offered us an early check-in since we were traveling with a baby, which we appreciated. The property looks recently renovated, and the room was spacious for the most part. I also loved that our room had a patio. Amenities looked nice, though we didn't get a chance to use them. The biggest downside was the Bistro service. One of the two employees we interacted with was noticeably unwelcoming, so we decided to dine elsewhere both nights. Overall, it was a decent stay and a good value. I would stay here again. Cleanliness: 3/5 Bathroom could have been cleaner. I found strands of hair from previous guests, though the lobby and common areas looked clean. Dining: 1/5 Unpleasant experience with one Bistro employee. Location: 4/5 Quiet area with minimal highway noise. Limited walkable dining nearby. Service: 4/5 Front desk service was great.
