Lobby was nice however the room was a little outdated. Great for a last minute stay but could use some renovations and upgrades.

The hotel has a good location and is suitable for transitional stay before the start of school.

very good. Isn’t this the most cost-effective hotel? There is also a pizza place on the first floor, so it's good for a quick dinner, and the interior is clean.

Location to the stadium was all this hotel had in it's favor. The rooms were small, dirty, out dated, tub did not drain well, beds were uncomfortable, and I think there may have been pets in the room before due to allergy symptoms.

All was great. Shower head was spraying in a lot of directions so shower was not very satisfying. But for a place to crash for one night we were good.

Hotel is in major need of a reno. Absolutely overpriced, even for a game say at 700 a night. Crazy. Bathtub had been bathfitted over the old ceramic tub and had lifted up possibly filled with water between the two layers and would almost bounce. Tub didn’t drain and was likely Leaking between the tub and bathfitter plastic. Gross. Would not pay more than 50.00 for this room ever.

Booked a double queen, they did not have one available. Front desk was supposed to bring rollaway and never did. Then said they were out when we called.

Room had a terrible moisture problem. Due to this the carpet was wet, wallpaper was peeling, mildew in the bathroom, stains all over the curtains, peeling furniture, and absolutely horrible smell of stale wetness and urine. The pictures that show their updated lobby is extremely misleading. However the staff was understanding and professional in helping us get refunded

This is propably the most convienent location for anything at UF. Great service... parts of the property show some age, but things are currently getting remodeled and look great. Pizza/Brewhouse adjoining the property is excellent!
