Disliked: Cleanliness
When checking in for a multi-day stay, they notified me that they do not service the rooms daily unless requested. I told them then that it was important to me that the room is cleaned and they said no problem, they would take care of it. The next day after a being away for 12hrs, the room had not been cleaned by 6pm. When requested, I was told that I would have had to requested it, which I had. They then partially refreshed the room and rehung dirty towels from the floor. I definitely would not recommend.

Excellent location for a UF stay

Excellent location, comfortable beds and a great fitness center with a pool. The hot tub was out of order. A property of this caliber should not have such significant stains in the carpet in the room.

Very disappointed with this stay. When I booked online i specifically asked for 2 rooms with one room with 2 queen beds and we were given rooms with only one bed. A roll away was unexceptable as the point of booking online is to get what you book for due to the people in your party that are traveling with you. No other rooms were available to move to.
