Pros: Bed was great. Location was great.
Cons: No security in the parking lot. It was dirty and people were hanging out there at night partying. A strange guy came up to us on a bike when we were leaving and he looked like he was going to rob us, but we left. Rooms could use a little updating.

Pros: Great location for UF. Very pretty hotel - nice room. For sure a decent stay if you are looking to simply sleep nearby in nice place.
Cons: I don't like doubles. It was hard to fit two of us in one bed - and we had three in the room. I prefer queens....

Pros: Comfortable bed and bedding. Good workout room and nice saline pool. Hotel Employee at the front desk was outstanding! (He more than made up for a previous experience with a less-informed female front desk staff.)
Cons: No complimentary breakfast, nor free Wi-Fi. Today, most three-stars do provide these amenities. Also, no free room fridge. Small: the coffee maker had a layer of dust and did not work properly; the bathroom magnifier was dirty & didn't work.

Pros: Comfortable bed, clean room, nice pool, location near UF campus.
Cons: No free WiFi, no gratis breakfast, no courtesy tea/coffee or cookies. This property hews to the old un-democratic paradigm of allowing only "members" who have so many stays "earning" free Wi-Fi. Internet connection is NOT an option, today.

Pros: Breakfast was real good. The staff was kind, and the room was clean.
Cons: When someone calls you that is not in the hotel and they reach you through the reception desk it is very difficult for the call to be transferred to your room. It could take several tries or several minutes. Make sure you have a cell phone.

Pros: The facility was nicely located to what I was visiting for and was a short distance to travel to my desired destination.
Cons: The facility was not very clean. My bedroom and bathroom were under par. The facility was also very loud. I don't know what was going on during my stay but my floor felt like I was staying in the middle of a frat house. It was terrible. Somebody also had a dog that would not stop barking and whining. Overall just a poor visit.

Pros: I can honestly say I liked everything about the hotel,I can definitely see my self coming back in the future if I ever were to return back to Gainesville and the front desk employee(s) are very professional. It starts at the front desk with the customer service to determine how your stay will be and I must say it was excellent.
Cons: The thing I didn't like was the length of time staying there,I wish I would've stayed longer but unfortunately there are bills to be paid a training to be done

Pros: Great location when visiting University of Florida.
Cons: The front desk staff was unfriendly. Very disappointed with the reception at the front desk. I have been a Hilton Honors member for many years and did not feel that my business or presence was appreciated. This makes me very sad as I love the hotel location and would like to stay there again but will look for a way to avoid the check in and check out.
