The sheets on my bed smelled as though it had a dog in it. The popcorn was pretty good but the scooper needed to be placed in a clean area after each use. The property overall was ok but old looking.

The place looks nothing like what is advertised. Those pics are deceiving. First room they assigned rm 401. Room was dirty. Nightstand dirty. Chair full of stains. Lounge seat tore up. Bathroom door lock broken. Couldn’t even close the door. Bath tub disgusting. Not clean and rusty. The bed sheets look dirty and raggedy. We requested another room. Rm 220. Which was slightly better. Breakfast nasty. Only thing good was the cookies and popcorn which is not all you can have as they were not refilling it. Overall. Waste of $280 dollars. That place is worth more like $95 a night. I will never sleep there again.

The overall was okay but the tubs in the 2 rooms we had were dirty. The a/c in one of the rooms didnt work properly so we were sweating in our sleep. On the back door, there was tape on it so anyone could just come in without a key which was a bit scary.

Not the most comfortable or cleanest

I first want to say the front desk staff were absolutely wonderful and helpful. One came up to my room to help me with the complicated tv. They were friendly and kind. The rooms on the other hand were outdated, walls were cracking the bed had hairs on it, clothing was left in the closet and the pillows and mattress were horrible. The pillows were either completely flat or full of hard lumps, the mattress was old and sinking in. Most of this was not the staffs fault.

An acceptable place to overnight for next day appointment at Shands Hospital. Close but traffic makes the trip to facility about 15 minutes. Least expensive for the area.

It will do ...

The staff is very friendly and it seemed clean, but there was a weird smell in the hall on the 4th floor. The room didnt have it. This hotel has seen better days, but its a great place if youre wanting to keep the budget down. Its also a good location.

Let me start with when we walked into the room it had a jacuzzi tub inside the bedroom part with a sign hanging up, saying that you couldn’t use it. My first thought was this is the boom boom room. The shower door is old and rusted. With the price of this room costing more than $200 a night. It was awful.

Although I'm not picky or bougie it's hard to find a hotel that I actually really like a lot because I used to book them myself a long time ago. The deal for this room, especially being spring break was amazing! Staff was super nice, accommodating to my son and my disabilities made all of us feel welcome, no bugs and the place was super clean. Breakfast was great with hot and cold options & there's even a fire pit but didn't go to it. But this place is only 20 min from where our college kiddo lives so when we go back to visit we'll definitely stay here again so we will definitely try it out then! Thanks for the great stay 🤗

Roaches in room. When we got to assigned room. My husband put down the bags and went to wash his hands and when light came on it bathroom a roach scurried off past mirror and my husband called me to get photo before it disappeared but I missed it. Not to disappoint another roach showed up by the refrig and bar sink area and I got a pic of that one. Bathroom needs a deep clean. Old debris and dirt were in each corner of the bathroom floor. The sitting chair was so dingy and dirty it was obvious a cleaning is in order. There was a sitting bench in corner that was cracked up along edges, if u sit with shorts you’re sure to get legs scratched. Deep cleaning should be done in cycles from time to time and replaced when in poor condition. They weren’t worth the rate.
