Categories

Cleanliness
7.5
Many guests note rooms and facilities are clean and comfortable, but reports of moldy-smelling air conditioning, an outdoor pool with bugs and some areas described as old/unremodeled lower this score.
Service
9
Staff and front-desk repeatedly described as helpful, courteous and professional; a few issues with a sales office employee refusing to honor a rate slightly dampen an otherwise strong service impression.
Location
9
Numerous mentions of a convenient location near dining, shopping, major roads and the university/medical facilities; repeatedly cited as a key positive.
Room Quality
8
Rooms described as comfortable with good water pressure and nice bathrooms for many guests, though some cited outdated decor, accessibility/fixture placement issues and a low toilet.
Amenities
8
Amenities are mixed: breakfast service noted but described as merely 'ok' or confusingly not included for some, and the outdoor/uncovered pool and its cleanliness attracted complaints.
Value for Money
6.5
Several clear complaints about rate changes, holds on credit cards and event-driven overcharging; a few guests called the hotel affordable, but billing issues pull this score down.
Food and Beverage
7
Breakfast was mentioned multiple times—some guests expected it included or found it only 'ok'—so this area is satisfactory but unremarkable.
Overall Experience
9
Overall impressions are positive: many callers praised clean, comfortable rooms, easy check-in and friendly staff, with several guests saying they'd return.

Don’t stay unless you want to be sick
Pros:

Well the staff is great on premise. Air conditioning smells coming out.
It smells moldy and is terrible. The sales office “Laura” is unwilling to honor a rate.

Decent room and good location for UF stadium events.
Cons:

Hotel charged elevated rate ($609) because of local event instead of rate when booked ($187). Took several phone calls to correct this error. But they did refund the overcharge.
