Lauren, Thomas, and Kyra!!!
Pros:

Lauren, Thomas, and Kyra were all phenomenal!!! My wife and I drove 6 hours from The Keys and we got in at 11pm. Lauren helped me on the phone during my trip up, upgrading us to a suite and always being bubbly and professional, despite me being tired from my trip. Kyra continued the same energy when we arrived. Mr. Marriott would be proud. My wife wanted a glass of red wine before bed. Thomas was nice enough to serve us even though the bar was closing. Kudos to leadership at this property for training the staff, holding them accountable, and rewarding them for execution of Marriott's highest standards. Please reward these three individuals, as they will be difficult to replace in this labor market.

First impressions begin curbside
Pros:

My stays here are always comfortable, but this time the valet service stood out. James welcomed me warmly on arrival, and Andy was just as helpful and friendly at departure, even loading my car to my preferences while another valet offered bottled water. These thoughtful touches before and after a long drive are greatly appreciated and elevate my overall impression and experience of the hotel.

STAY HERE!
Pros:

This is a great hotel - walking distance from UF. Staff is awesome, especially Andrew at the valet stand! The rooms are spacious and clean, and you can’t beat location - we will return.
