Melissa

Liked: Staff & service
Great location and comfortable beds. No housekeeping offered during our stay, if we needed more towels we’d have to ask the desk. So, in that respect it felt like a lower quality hotel. The beds and linens were clean but the carpeting in the lobby and our room was stained and dirty. The bathrooms needed attention as there was hair in the shower on the walls and on the floors and the full length mirror had been wiped with a dirty, wet cloth leaving water stains all over it. The a/c took a full 12 hours to budge the room temp down to an acceptable temperature. Upon arrival, our room was a humid 77 degrees. We loved the location, the pool area was very nice and front desk staff were helpful. Breakfast at No Name Lounge was very good.

Spacious room. The sink had issues. It filled with dirt on two separate occasions for no explainable reason. I was moved to a different room where the A/C unit was incredibly noisy. But I still slept OK. The bar and lounge area is a lot of fun. Very nice bartenders. The pool is dated and needs a renovation. The concrete inside the pool is full of holes. The whole hotel looks like it could use a coat of paint and maybe some simple upgrades. Good value for the price paid and great location to University of Florida. Free parking is a PLUS!
