This hotel is just ok. It's a bit far from the UF area, decor is old. Bed sheets and towels are worn out. Staff was very polite, beds were comfy, but the rooms and overall hotel need remodeling.

I paid for the room in advance and the hotel clerk said I had to pay for an upgraded room because it's first come first serve. When I said that wasn't right, she said it was hotel policy but managed to get us in the same room without an upcharge. The thermostat was broken. We literally had to remove the cover to change the temperature and the ac was loud and clunky. The shower was cold. There were people hanging out in the parking lot.My husband said it was unsafe for me to take our little terrier out by myself.

They were more than kind (had a pack of cookies for us on entrance). They did not overprice their bottled waters (0.50 cents). The pool area was very nice and clean, saw a pool-man check chemicals, towels at the pool to use as many as you wanted and a basket to return dirty ones to. Housekeeping brought new towels in a bag and hung on our door (3 day stay) because he had "don't disturb" sign up. Offered hot breakfast which was fairly good, and even had someone cooking up omlets in the dining area. Allowed dogs, but very clean anyway.
