Very nice stay with a great breakfast, pool area and location.
Pros:

I love that there were grits on the breakfast menu. I wish breakfast were a bit later on weekdays. I also would have appreciated pool towels. The staff was friendly, and I enjoyed my stay.

Cons:

The coffee was a little light.

Voleurs et menteurs
Cons:

L'hôtel nous a pris 280$ de frais supplémentaires après notre départ. Leur explication : Je me serais teint les cheveux en rouge et j'aurais taché la baignoire , ce qui aurait nécessité un nettoyage supplémentaire. Ils refusent de nous communiquer les preuves. Ce sont des voleurs. Ils ne repondent pas a mes appels ni à mes mails. Je suis blonde et non je ne fais pas 8 000km pour me teindre les cheveux pendant les vacances. J'ai autre chose à faire !
Et le petit dej. est dégueulasse , la piscine était fermée et la moquette pue l'humidité.
N'y allez pas au risque qu'ils se servent sur votre CB

We can't wait to come back!
Pros:

The property is beautiful! The location was perfect...we were moving our child into school, and it was less than 20 minutes away. It was also great proximity to Target, Walmart, Publix, and the mall, as well as some great restaurants.
The free breakfast was delicious. There were many options and everything was fresh.

Cons:

The only improvement I would suggest is to extend the breakfast hours to 10am on weekdays and 11am on weekends.

Pros:

Spacious room. Friendly staff. Free parking -20 minutes drive from UF campus without the hassle of hunting for street parking.

Cons:

Breakfast is not bad, but the bananas are overripe, brown. Hard boiled eggs would be a good addition for someone who just wants a quick breakfast.
