Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

10/10 Excellent
"Very accommodating staff. We got there before check in and they gave us a different room without question. They had popcorn and cookies available for free too which was great! The breakfast was alright. Small selection but didnt expect much given the small scale of the hotel. The shower had some hair in it that wasnt ours... but overall a decent stay"
