We enjoyed our stay in hotel Eleo, it is very close to the Florida University veterinary hospital and to the campus. We had breakfast and had dinner at the restaurant every day, we were sitting with our dog in the outside patio. The bathroom was spotless clean and the front desk and valet very accomodating.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Amenities
The room was ok but the hall and room had some strong smell. I guess cleaning solution but the room was clean but not sure how clean as I noticed hair and stuff on the walls. Staff was nice and accommodating but the workout room lacked equipment and no pool. Not much within walking distance. Would not stay here again.
