The newly remodeled room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. The location was convenient for our trip to visit our kids attending UF. Parking was convenient and free. We will continue to stay here.

Everything was great. Love staying here when rooms are available. Close to the school and dining options. Cleaning staff should be commended. My son forgot his shoes but the staff recovered them and turned them in at the front desk. Love them so much. Thank you
