Great UF location

Nice facility, friendly staff, ease of use. We had to change rooms because several electrical outlets didn’t work and the shower floor was very slick. The breakfast is convenient but hardly worth the money. On our last day, they dropped a forty two dollar bill on our table for cold eggs and sausage, for two diners. I had received a ‘final’ bill from AC for our stay via email. When the Missus asked for a hard copy upon checkout, the billing was different, substantially. Fun location with plenty of walkable restaurants and young adults. It’s sad to see the homeless milling about. I’m always counting my blessings.
