I reserved a 2 bed handicap accessible room. I got there, theydidn't have tge ttpe of room I reserved. They put me in a stinky mildewy room where the floor had been wet. I found this out when I took off my shoes and my socks got soaked. Then put me in another stinky room that smelled like the toilet had overflowed. Breakfast restaurant was nice.

A bit dated but ok

A good hotel in a good location. We stayed here for 9 nights. The hotel is close to the University, Restaurants, Shopping, etc. Parking area a bit dark for our liking after sunset if you are concerned about safety. Sadly there were a few critters crawling around in our room which I killed and that's the main reason we didn't score this better.

The property felt as if it was a lower grade hotel. Some of the people staying looked like they belong in a motel 6. Just didn’t feel like a Hilton used to be.

DATED Room

The room I was in was VERY DATED….The shower came with a bench that. Had to be folded up with ties…. The shower nozzle had to be manually held in the direction that I wanted the water to spray- it didn’t stay in a streaming direction by itself

Uncomfortable Beds & outdated Hotel

The hotel as a whole is a bit outdated, however the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The bathroom & room in itself needs updating & the Beds are extremely uncomfortable, but it was for 1 night, so we needed the hotel to be close to the UF campus for graduation.
