At one time this place was probably nice back in the day. Im assuming it might have been a days inn back when. It's sad because if someone had the money to renovate it would be a nice place. In a pinch I'd say ok but look elsewhere if you can. I was stuck staying here because it was graduation at UF and and all the nicer places were either booked or prices hiked sky high.
