It was clean and comfortable and close to UF
It was on a major street and there were so many ambulances that first night hard to sleep
Comfortable double bed, mini fridge in room, friendly staff, gym and pool. Very central location for the University of Florida campus.
The air-conditioning units made a lot of noise, so we did not sleep well and only for a couple of hours each night. Even after switching the AC off in our room, the one from the other rooms hummed really loudly.
Walking distance from UF and close to restaurants and free parking. Very good made to order breakfast. Clean and spacious rooms with comfortable beds.
Room was very clean and comfortable. Linen was clean and room smelled clean and fresh.
Pool water temperature was way too cold and made swimming in it very uncomfortable and limited time spent in the pool, Water temperature is expected to be cooler than the air temperature within eight to ten degrees, but it felt more like 15 to 20 degrees colder. Also, the pool area was spacious and offered plenty of room for lounging, however the area lacked character and appeal and was very bland almost dreary. The pool itself is old and needs upgrading! Inside the pool were areas of rust and mold especially on the bottom around the edges. Spruce it up! Add some palm trees, greenery, pool-scapes, piped in music, flamingos, shrubs, etc...
Location, Cleanliness, the beds.
Too pricey
clean sheets, helpful staff, decent value, [public] parking nearby for fee
STRONG smell of glue in room and in stairwell. TOXIC. staff kindly moved us to another room [hope they didt actually try to rent out the offgassing rooms. [need carbon based air cleaners in there]. staff mentioned they coudl not use a "green" or healthy glue due to flame retardant requirements.. ?? I'd be surprised of there is not a healthy alternative that exists. ALso we chose it because we understood there was ON SITE parking but had to walk from public parking garage to our hotel a block away.
Convenient location
Nothing
The place was very clean. The A/C was wonderful and the location was great!
