Train your front desk they don't know what they are doing. They couldn't find in the reservation and double charged for each room. Need to have your cleaning people clean better. And your signature cookies are a joke your front desk people eat them unless you know about them and ask they don't offer

We had to wait at the front desk for 15 minutes before we could find anyone to check us into our room. The main area is nice and seems to be newly renovated. The guest rooms need to be updated. There were holes in the ceiling, pieces of wall missing in the bathroom, and the bathroom mirror was damaged.

Nice
Overall was a very comfortable stay for my family. Beds were nicely made and clean. The only thing I thought was that whoever laid the bathroom tile did a bit of a sloppy job. There were smears on the corners of the tub from the caulking. Other than that, the bathroom did look and small clean.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Location: very central to shops, near the Uni, and close to the highway is a huge plus. Despite proximity to HW, there was no noise to speak of. The surrounding area: lots of homeless wandering around/living on the corner. Property: very clean and well maintained. Inside hotel: very clean and bright. Room: eek. Room had not been serviced when we checked in. No TP, no towels, personal items on the floor of the previous guest. Garbage in the trash although beds were made … which means that making the bed was all that was done from previous guest. The carpets were gross and the bathroom was full of hair. Lobby: Didn’t spend any time in the lobby bar area but it looked nice and somewhat busy. There was a bar tender on staff which was nice. guests in hotel were quiet. front desk was empty every time I walked by which made me feel like anyone wandering in could just make their way into the hotel. Would not stay again if given the choice.

Questionable Room
We have stayed here a number of times in the past. This is the first time on the first floor. The room seemed old and dingy. Our other rooms have never had an issue with humidity, but this room did. We really like the location of the hotel but not this particular room.

The staff is nice and helpful, and the location is great. The room was swampy and smelled of stale humidity, no matter how high we set the AC. The last day I realized the AC unit was leaking onto the carpet. If you get to the room after checking in and it smells bad, get back to the front desk immediately and ask them to relocate you to fresh room. Don’t waste your time hoping the AC will take care of the stink. It’s Florida, once the swamp reclames that carpet, there is no way back. Hope this helps future travelers! Go Gators!!!!!

I was placed in a room that shouldn't even be used as a room - looking out on the roof with all of the air conditioning equipment. Very noisy and unpleasant. And there weren't really any other qualities that redeemed the experience.

This was a business trip for me. It was awful. There were ants on the night table this morning, and I saw a maintenance man catch a roach with a cup last night. There wasn’t a do not disturb sign so of course in the middle of my zoom meeting, I had to go tell the housekeeping staff to go away because they kept knocking at my door. Dirty. Terrible. Would not go back.
