Guests say
Guests appreciate the great location of the hotel, particularly its proximity to the university and downtown. Many reviews indicate that the value for price is decent, especially for visitors affiliated with the university. However, several guests expressed dissatisfaction with the cleanliness of the rooms and bathrooms, as well as the overall outdated appearance of the hotel. Complaints about uncomfortable beds and poor service standards were also common, contributing to an overall impression of a hotel that, while well-placed, requires significant renovations and improved maintenance.AI-generated from customer reviews

Maid never cleaned room but maybe we were in there too long. She was just two doors away when we left for the day. Halls are musty. Carpet in hall should be replaced. The plumbing fixtures are old. The sink faucet barely ran in the hot mode. It's mixing cartridge needed replacing.
Pros (+) This trip was covered by the University of Florida, So I couldn't beat the price. The Staff were friendly and the overall impression was very positive indeed.
Cons (-) The building feels older. Everything works like you'd expect, but would not be my first choice location to take formal photos.
