The AC system didn’t work which caused the room to heat up to 81 degrees. The maintenance gentleman was professional and fixed it temporarily. The room condition was dated and needed upgrades. The view out the window was facing a wall. I will not be staying at this facility again and will not recommend it to any one.

Hotel is clean, nice looking, quick drive to UF. Staff is very nice and helpful when we needed to print something. Beds are comfortable and AC working well. The only thing I would not recommend is $15 breakfast which I found largely inedible, but since it wasn’t included in price of my room I’m not taking a star off for it.

The front desk person was rude to my daughter and I. She was out out that she didn’t know how to ring up a bag of cookies for us to pay for instead of charging to the room. She also placed a $100 hold on a prepaid room which makes no sense. Maybe $50 for incidentals but not $100!!
