The place is very quiet, and you can enjoy a good breakfast inside, with air conditioning, or outside by the small but very clean pool, enjoying the natural surroundings. The staff is very friendly, and despite the hotel being completely full due to graduation season at UF, they were able to have our room ready before regular check-in time.

Great staff but emergency service issue

Nice staff. Had stayed previously and no complaints at all. This time, there was no hot water due to a service emergency but the management did their best to accommodate customers by offering free cancellations or discounts. Would give 5 stars for the management response in terms of customer service but there has to be a better system in the future to prevent such problems, especially during graduation season when hotel occupancy is at maximum levels
