Room was an extremely humid and the ac was not helping. There’s no extractor in the bathroom so when you showered, the humidity goes into the room and worsens the situation.

Cleanliness? Carpet is discolored and forget about vaccumming around the bed frame. There was food on the carpet around the bed from the last 30 guests. Showers took 10 minutes to get hot water and a single drink at the bar cost me $27. It was convenient, but will definitely look for a different place to stay next time.

Next to UF Shands Hospital

We stayed in the hotel because my sister was in the hospital next to it. It was so convenient to stay there. There was a Golfcart shuttle service from the hotel to the hospital. The staff were friendly and helpful. My only complaint was a terrible smell in the lobby, hallways and the elevator. It wasn’t as strong in the room. The smell was a chemical smell. It was overpowering at times.
