Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was clean and well-equipped with everything I needed—refrigerator, TV, microwave, electric kettle, hair dryer, air conditioner, and more. When I first entered, it felt a bit humid—probably because the AC had been turned off—but it improved once I turned the air conditioner on. It's a quiet location, just a 10-minute drive from UF. If you're visiting the UF campus or UF hospital, this is an excellent spot. The property offers a great combination of location and price. I plan to stay here again on my next visit.

A lower end, budget motel maybe equivalent to Motel 6 to Extended Stay. The room was smaller than most motels. I would rate it 5 on a 10 scale. Probably won't visit this again as there are others that are better.
