Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Clean and comfortable beds, but room could use a good cleaning and furniture other than beds need updating. We were in a room with adjoining room and person in other room second night was VERY LOUD. Screaming for periods of up to 20 minutes to someone on the phone (assume as we could hear only one side) One screaming bout was in the middle of the night. TV loud. First night could hear baby crying and TV. Need more soundproofing.

Price is affordable so close to University of Florida. Beds are very comfortable. No clocks in rooms. Free breakfast is just individual wrap sticky buns or small cinnamon rolls. Faint marijuana smell in rooms which is unfortunate. Staff is very nice and helpful.

The room got the job done. It was close to UF for mine in weekend. But it was outdated. The ventilation made it so I could smell the neighbors shower products and their weed.
