The staff was excellent. The room was clean. It could use a fresh coat of paint and some updates. Breakfast was good and a huge variety of choices. The desk staff superb. The location was great and they discounted us for medical travelers to Shands hospital. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

Personal Touches

This was an amazing experience from checkin to checkout!! The staff was friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. We were there for tests and doctor appointment at U of F. Our schedule got changed twice and we asked for a late checkout at noon and then changed it to 2pm...no problem! The coffee, tea, candy, cookies and popcorn in lobby were an added bonus and nice touch to make you feel at home. Breakfast was fantastic!! A large selection of choices. The lobby and public areas were clean and updated. The room was amazing!! It was comfortable, clean, updated and well appointed! Internet worked well, tv was great and best of all the "Welcome" from the operations manager...a personal touch. Thank you for the hospitality...see you next month.

Check in and check out were very fast. Breakfast was good, especially the small omelets and the person in charge was very friendly. I would add some kind of larger toaster where whole wheat bread can be toasted well.
