Professional seminar

The staff was very accomodating and friendly.Pool area is beautiful and immaculate, a very relaxing spot. Our room was large and very nice, and the microwave and fridge a plus. I stayed 5 nights and would have enjoyed staying longer. I would definitely plan another stay here. January is a very uncrouded time in the Orlando area. It would have been nice if breakfast was included as there were few places to walk to serving breakfast.
