Price is affordable so close to University of Florida. Beds are very comfortable. No clocks in rooms. Free breakfast is just individual wrap sticky buns or small cinnamon rolls. Faint marijuana smell in rooms which is unfortunate. Staff is very nice and helpful.

The room got the job done. It was close to UF for mine in weekend. But it was outdated. The ventilation made it so I could smell the neighbors shower products and their weed.

Very poor choice

The hotel was very disappointing. Rooms and common areas had a strong moldy smell, and the bed linens were old, torn, and poorly maintained. The room also smelled of cigarette and marijuana smoke, and the bed was uncomfortable. Cleanliness was lacking from the reception onward. Unfortunately, it was a very poor choice of accommodation.

The only good thing was friendly lady who helped with registration. The lobby and room smelled of old dingy building. The ac barely cooled and the shower was difficult to get working. It was either freezing or burning hot. The beds were hard as rocks. It was very inexpensive so I just chalked it up to you get what you pay for. Oh yeah the pool was closed as well. I was glad to leave.
