The good - We liked the proximity of the hotel to UF where we had business. The staff was friendly. The continental breakfast was good. The bad - Door slamming in adjacent rooms made for a very noisy night and severely interrupted sleep. The place looks a bit run down and did not deserve what we paid. We would not stay there again.
