Summary of reviews

Guests say
Guests consistently praised the hotel's convenient location, making it easy to access local attractions and events. The front desk staff received positive mentions for their friendliness and helpfulness. However, several guests reported issues with service, particularly regarding booking, room assignments, and the breakfast experience, which was described as confusing or unsatisfactory by some. Cleanliness was generally acceptable, though a few mentioned musty halls or dated features. Parking was noted as adequate but occasionally challenging. Overall, the location and some aspects of the staff stood out as highlights, while service and breakfast could be improved.

Maid never cleaned room but maybe we were in there too long. She was just two doors away when we left for the day. Halls are musty. Carpet in hall should be replaced. The plumbing fixtures are old. The sink faucet barely ran in the hot mode. It's mixing cartridge needed replacing.

Pros (+) This trip was covered by the University of Florida, So I couldn't beat the price. The Staff were friendly and the overall impression was very positive indeed.
Cons (-) The building feels older. Everything works like you'd expect, but would not be my first choice location to take formal photos.
