beautiful and modern hotel. Amazing location.
Pros:

The hotel is a work of art in modern architecture—beautifully designed throughout. It’s in the best location for anyone wanting to stay near UF. The staff, mostly UF students, form an exceptional, friendly team.

Cons:

The AC in our room was excessively cold and impossible to adjust to a comfortable temperature or fan speed; even the technician couldn’t fix it.

Pros:

It is so strange that they could not give you invoice just because you prepaid via booking, but booking said we have to contact hotel. Nobody could solve this

Pros:

Location, family member at Shands

Cons:

Front desk not answering phone, needed to take shuttle back at night. Ended up walking as no one picked up the phone. Restaurant not answering phone. You need to offer room service.

It was fine. Room was average for the cost. Would likely not stay there again.
Pros:

Location to campus was great.

Cons:

For the outrageous price it is not worth it. On top of having to pay for valet and coffee, no value at all in the price besides location.
