This Property is a DUMP!
This place was a dump! This place should have a zero star rating! The room was not ready at check in. Property and hotel were filthy. The bathroom was disgusting! Would NOT recommend this hotel and especially at the rate of $495. Very disappointed when hotels.com rated this property 7.8 Good. Not sure I can trust the ratings on this app.

Very noisy and expensive for what you get.
The check-in was extremely slow - system problems and then my payment cards would not be accepted.
Room size ok but very noisy despite 'double glazing' - had to use ear plugs and noise cancelling headphones to get any sleep. At first glance the room looked clean but was dusty and corners were untouched. It was easy to get to, right by the main road which probably accounts for the noise. We had an easy journey to Gainesville raceway.
Do not bother with a balcony room - nothing to look at, apart from the road and way too noisy!
The one positive was the shower!
In summary - expensive for what you get.

Have stayed at property numerous times while in town diving the springs. Staff is always great, rooms are clean. Unfortunately this last trip I did have scuba gear stolen out of my truck. There are no cameras in the parking lot and a lot of homeless around. Stay vigilant and keep your vehicles locked up if staying here.

Would book again
Hotel was good, slightly dated on some points inside room, but nice spacious bedrooms and general areas good. Staff was friendly and helpful. Only the swimming pool at the front of the property was bit strange, probably why no one used it.
