Pros:

Ubicación

Cons:

El mensaje que envié lo mal interpretaron , dique que tal vez me quedaría solo una noche si la situación lo ameritaba,pero necesité quedarme la segunda noche y me hicieron hacer el check out en una noche. No hubo flexibilidad. Solo espero que la noche adicional que pagué me la devuelvan a la tarjeta.

Cons:

My wife and I have been staying for over 10 years when our son was attending UF. We probably started staying there about 2015....when it was new. Not surprisingly, in ten years, it has started to show its age......wallpaper coming loose in the breakfast room on the south side between the windows....and held in place by numerous staples, small tears and rips in the carpet in room 308 and numerous other "little things". All in all, I will stay there when I'm town....but if some of these little things don't start getting some attention,....well, there are plenty of other places that may offer the same level of value....and that keeps their property looking ship shape. Hopefully,, the owner(s) will be paying more attention to these obvious "aged" items.
