Great value for a one night trip, but very average experience.
Pros:

Great location for visiting USF and surrounding areas. Pool is right outside rooms.

Cons:

Room wasn’t as clean as we’d have preferred. Staff is not rude at all, but also not very inviting. There’s a bar area by the pool that has never been open once during our stay.

Good but not worth $350 for two nights stay based on the condition of the room
Pros:

The grounds like the pool and plants

Cons:

The room we had had a smelly shower curtain that ruined the whole room as the smell was like wet laundry!
