The hotel was good. We stayed on the first floor. The room was clean. The only thing was the young lady at the front desk, her name was Jade, did they not process my checkout when I went to the front desk at 7:30 AM. (she appeared to be surprised that I was personally requesting my check out). I realized because the Hilton app notified me that it was time to check out so I did through the app.

I stayed in this hotel because I needed to be close to Shands for my surgery. Not only did my room keys not work, it took 2 hours for the AC to cool off the room. Very disappointed.

We only stayed for one night. The staff was very helpful, but the rooms were a surprise in a poor way. The first room bathroom was awful. It smelled of mildew, and the tub surface was in bad condition. The second room we were given was missing its desk lamp and the multi port device charger the was in the previous room. You could see where it weas ripped out by someone. This normally would not have been an issue and something we could have worked with, but my wife was doing an inline seminar that night and needed all of the power connection for her laptop and devices and needed the extra light of the lamp. The staff was very helpful in trying to find replacements, but after unsuccessfully helping us, moved is to a third room. The property seems nice in the common areas, but I was so disappointed in the rooms.
