I stayed at hotel Eleo when my husband was having surgery at Shands. It was very convenient being so close to the hospital. The restaurant’s food was surprisingly good. Prices were a bit much, but the food was pretty good.

Staff very pleasant. Nice rooms and very clean. Only one thing….the valet parking gets jammed up in front and cars cannot pass easily. Poor design. The valet area doesn’t flow well. Needs a circular drive instead of square. However, great stay minus the parking. Will stay again.
