The location to campus, grocery, entertainment and building layout are excellent. Publix is behind this hotel but carefully platted so our parking is secure and it’s not busy aside from typical UF traffic. We had excellent AC and comfortable beds. The room was very clean.

The rate was high given the last minute booking but most of the hotels were up priced similarly. At the rate we were at we’d have expected more updated bathroom and complimentary breakfast. These factors were not dealbreakers given the amazing location!

Great location! Publix, Starbucks, Piesano’s, all right there. The price is great compared to other hotels in the area too. Good bang for your buck.

The lobby and room is in good condition but the bathroom leaves much to be desired. Mold on the walls and door, cracked and peeling wall in shower. If you’re a stickler about bathrooms, I’d think twice.

Staff at counter and at breakfast 2ere excellent! Location is perfect for UF visit.

The AC in our room seemed to occasionally blow hot air out and the room 415, never really got cold.

Driving through on our way to St. Louis Mo. Excellent location to University of Florida and lots of eating places. Very friendly staff. Bed sheets and towels were bright white clean. Lots of hot water and shower water pressure was awesome. Rooms were tidy and oohlala cool. Very NICE!!! Check in and out was quick and hassle free. Excellent coffee and a grab breakfast bag with a wonderful assortment of items to eat. The hotel has indoor access to Piesanos Stone Fired Pizza restaurant which had a great menu with many food selections and it was amazing.

Needs lots of cleaning. The door to the public restroom was grimy/grungy feeling. The place could use a new coat of paint. The carpeting needs cleaning but would rather see it replaced. Watch out if you have little people as the door will slam shut. No USV ports to charge your devices.

nice swimming pool, clean rooms, delicious breakfast (even it was quite difficult to decide whether to select the sweet waffles of salty breakfast, a combination would be nice :))

Awesome location. I don't remember the description saying it was right next to UF. It should if it doesn't. It does say near by, but this is literally right across the street from the Business School of UF. Very convenient!

The parking lot didn't give me a lot of confidence. I had my car loaded with college dorm items and had to park overnight. Everything was fine, but I ended up backing into a spot in the back lot against the fence facing Publix, away from the street, and hopefully with some cameras (although I didn't see them, if they were there). I wanted to make sure there was no theft. They hotel could offer a security guard, very visible, that walks the parking 360 degree lot around the hotel. I didn't see one, if there is one at night would offer some security to guests.
