The hotel is very nice staff was friendly and helpful location was great. However I found it very odd for the price that the rooms were not cleaned daily. We found used Qtips under one of the beds our first night. I reported it the next morning and they were still there when we got back from the hospital the next night. When I once again reported it and that the room hadn't been cleaned I was told that they just come in take the trash abd leave clean towels until you check out. I understand not putting clean bedding on every day. However I had reported something that had not been cleaned up before we checked in. I believe it should have been cleaned up after we reported it.

Thank you for staying with us at the Hotel Eleo at The University of Florida, Rena! While it's great to know you enjoyed our warm hospitality and helpful location, we do regret if our updated housekeeping policy fell short of your expectations. Our team will use your comments to learn how we can improve our service and to ensure all of our guest rooms are prepared to meet or exceed our high standards for cleanliness. Please visit us again soon so we can work to earn another star or two.
