Staff was nice and friendly, the place was clean, my only complaint but I don’t know if the hotel can help it, it’s the thin walls or very noisy guests

Staff was so nice even after dealing with influx of lots of people due to the hurricane. Everyone I encountered was friendly & helpful, from the front desk staff to the people who cleaned the rooms.

I am so appreciative of this hotel. I stayed here with my pets during Hurricane Milton. They waived the pet fee for the hurricane. Such a Godsend for me and my fur babies. The hotel was quiet, clean, and the staff was super friendly. If I'm ever in the area again I will definitely stay here!

The pull down window shade was broken when I arrived and the room was very hot. I still have not received my $50 deposit back yet and I need it ASAP.

This property is EXCELLENT to stay at. The breakfast is great and the ladies who take care of the items are SUPER friendly and everything is kept fresh! We always try to stay at this properly when we visit UF. The location is great and it is easy on and easy off to Interstate 75. The rooms are clean and very kept up. The staff is also very friendly.

Everything was excellent except only one thing. I had a king sized bed which looked delightful. The side most common to sleep on was the right side near the phone and light. The mattress was broken, had a huge dent from the bodies sleeping in the same spot. I had to got to the other side . Probably too soft of a bed in general. Firm should support better. This mattress is beat.
