I stayed here twice while I participated meetings at USF. In general the environment is good for the price. You can hear the neighbor’s TV or talking but not too bad. But last time I was so disappointed. There were wavily hair on the towel and hair crumbs on the countertop behind of the faucet . Seems like someone shaved near to the mirror. I told the front desk and they sent the room service when I was out. When I came back in the evening. It was exactly the same hairs on both places. And the trash bin was emptied but was put in the middle of the pass way right after you open the door. I was told the manager will contact me but yet I heard nothing from anyone.

Service was good and cleanliness. But the breakfast was awful. Biscuits and gravy was offered and the food was still at refrigerator temperature. Fruit Loop cereal was advertised on the dispenser and it was knock off brand and stale. Milk was room temperature making it taste awful. Breakfast definitely needs to be stepped up big time. On our last night as we headed to the lobby there was a couple in which the girl was on drugs and was overdosing or just having a bad reaction in the lobby by elevator doors.

It was comfortable staying there. It was clean and didn’t smell bad. Checked in was great. They needed to start to have electronic ways, such as Zelle and CashApp, to pay tips.
