Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I am extremely disappointed with my recent stay at this property. The room was in very poor condition. The carpet and vanity were stained, the entire space smelled of smoke, and the mattress was still in a plastic bag as if it had just come from a store. The neighboring room had cats sitting in the window and even a doormat outside, which made the hotel feel more like a long-term residence than a guest-friendly environment. Additionally, the courtyard resembled a construction zone and looked as though part of a building had experienced a roof collapse. None of this reflects what was promised in the listing or what I expected when booking. This room should not be offered at the price it was listed. Expedia should either remove this property from its inventory or drastically reduce the rate to reflect the actual condition.

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.

It was clean, the front office staff were friendly. The bed was reasonably comfortable. The rooms are all supposedly non-smoking, but my room reeked of tobacco smoke. The TV and remote did not work properly, it would only turn on/off and change volume. I hope you like Bravo, it's the only channel you get to watch. The bathroom was functional but in rough shape. There is very little sound insulation between rooms. It sounded like the people above me were playing hopscotch all night long.

1st, I like old hotels. The hotel was built in the 50's and apparently was the "spot" with a night club and restaurant. I think it could be that again with some investment and attention to detail. It presents as tired, relatively clean, it looks like DIY when they last painted and updated the rooms and lobby. Suggest a person go through all the rooms with a razor blade to tidy the paint jobs. Rusty door hinges and banged up door frames. Need door seeps to keep the critters out from the entry door. The pool was out of order, bummer but reasonable understandable! Drainage for the monsoon storm we had created a curtain of water to the parking lot. Easy fix with a covered pergola over the sidewalks leading to the lots. The bed was comfortable but on a metal platform that made a noise when you rolled over sounding like an old furnace with the metal expanding. Rething the dated chair, its too low. A/C was excellent, staff are helpful. I'd like to see this old lady shine again.

The only good thing was friendly lady who helped with registration. The lobby and room smelled of old dingy building. The ac barely cooled and the shower was difficult to get working. It was either freezing or burning hot. The beds were hard as rocks. It was very inexpensive so I just chalked it up to you get what you pay for. Oh yeah the pool was closed as well. I was glad to leave.
