9.2/10 Wonderful! (2,232 reviews)
Visited the Florida Black Friday weekend. The proximity to the Florida mall makes it a great location for shopping. This is a huge mall with a large assortment of shops. We were impressed with the cleanliness in the hotel and the mall. Our room was clean and quiet. The bed was very comfortable. Crickets restaurant is in the hotel. They have a good assortment of meal and drink options. The waiters were very accommodating and attentive. The sun shone the afternoon we were there so we enjoyed the beautiful outdoor pool and hot tub. We would definitely stay at the Florida hotel again in the future.
