A bit dated but ok
A good hotel in a good location. We stayed here for 9 nights. The hotel is close to the University, Restaurants, Shopping, etc. Parking area a bit dark for our liking after sunset if you are concerned about safety. Sadly there were a few critters crawling around in our room which I killed and that's the main reason we didn't score this better.

Hotel was clean. We were excited for breakfast but were sent to the “no name bar” to eat and it was full service. Weren’t expecting to pay that much for eggs and grits

Uncomfortable Beds & outdated Hotel
The hotel as a whole is a bit outdated, however the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The bathroom & room in itself needs updating & the Beds are extremely uncomfortable, but it was for 1 night, so we needed the hotel to be close to the UF campus for graduation.

DATED Room
The room I was in was VERY DATED….The shower came with a bench that.
Had to be folded up with ties…. The shower nozzle had to be manually held in the direction that I wanted the water to spray- it didn’t stay in a streaming direction by itself
