The first room had a strong mildew smell with a large mildew growth on the arm of the chair and sofa. The front desk gave me keys to two other room. Both were in much better condition, but one still had a slight smell. We ended up staying in the room that smelled the least, but my daughter did comment about the air conditioner still smells a little little moldy. The facility is getting at the end of life.

This is a clean, safe and simple place to stay for a Gators football game. The staff was friendly and enthusiastic. They decorated for the game so it was very festive. There was a shuttle to and from campus for the game. The fitness room is tiny with 3 cardio machines jammed in, but better than nothing. Continental breakfast. Cookies and coffee in the lobby. Right next to I-75, grocery and shopping (across busy street). I’ll stay here again.

We planned to check in and find some place for lunch, but they had a free burgers and hot dogs “tailgate,” so we ate there, then relaxed for an hour before taking the free shuttle to the game. Unexpected surprise that we loved!
