Overall, the stay was great for the purpose of what we were needing and we would stay again. Breakfast was wonderful!
Pros:

Very friendly front desk staff and simple check in. Breakfast was great!

Cons:

The room had very aged amenities. Bathroom cleanliness, carpeting, drapes, outlets were all aged and could use some attention.

Better options for UF related events
Pros:

The omelette station saved this place.

Cons:

I would pass if i could but UF graduation created limited options. Not really all that convenient for UF functions. Tired hotel in need of a bit of a makeover but this review is heavily influenced by graduation weekend rates of around $350 a night for what is a $120 a night hotel.

Pros:

Just an overnight stop heading to Key West. Just a clean room, nice staff was all I really needed. Breakfast was good. We were on a motorcycle, so a Harley Davidson dealer was right across the street if we needed anything.

Cons:

Nothing really. I'd stay there again.

Pros:

The hotel was a great price considering the concert that was in town and the other prices of the hotels nearby. It was clean , the pool was nice. The complementary breakfast was great. They made custom omelettes. Would stay again if in the area.
