The most convenient hotel - pet friendly and dogs stay on ground floor with an exit to outdoor walking area; easy free parking; convenient location to UF Vet School where I take my dogs; lobby bar. It has an area to purchase snacks and make coffee but does not serve any kind of breakfast. That is my only reason for 4 stars. Rooms are clean with coffee makes so I just bring my own bagels.
