Property is very dirty and out dated. Lots of bugs in the room. We were there for football gameday. Location was great, easy parking right by the room. But not a nice place.

Don't stay unless it is the last place in town
the hotel is very basic and run down. We entered an obviously smoked in room and i am allergic to smoke. No hand towels or washcloths available. we had a fly, an ant, two small bugs and a large cockroach in our room. breakfast was very basic. paid a lot for two nights because of home football game.

The pictures that you have online of the lobby is not what you see when you walk in. I was so mortified by the condition of the hotel and the older of the lobby and the room. I did not stay one single night. A complete waste of money.

The room itself was fine but we had tenants on both sides of our room. One looked to be the maintenance employee and the other the cleaning employee. The cleaning employee was very loud during the night hours.

Hotel is in need of some updating like more secure doors(noticeable gaps between bottom of door and floor), repair/update ceilings. Decent stay for the time we were there.

The photos are misleading. The property has not been updated since it likely built. Roach infested. Rooms smell of cigarette smoke. I wish I could upload photos. Expedia should remove from their property listing.

Our room smelled very musty and like painted-over mildew and cigarette smoke. It was obvious pets had been in there, my allergies went crazy.

Look Elsewhere.
You get what you pay for. But for five times the regular rate for A UF game weekend is complete highway robbery. A place that appears to attract the unhoused and persons with addiction, with urine smells in and around is not the most conducive for a comfortable or safe stay.

Old old hotel, beds in rooms have noisy plastic mattress protectors on them. Toilet ancient and very low profile. Tub is very small and old. Funny that lamps have plastic protectors on their shades as though they were valuable. Appreciate being able to have a place to lie my head, maybe time to invest in some upgrades.

It was acceptable, barely. Rooms had an “old” smell and you could tell that things haven’t been updated for a while. Our room key was hit and miss at opening the lock.
