Stayed for one night, our room was clean and comfortable, the valet and front desk staff were very nice and friendly. Would stay again for sure.
Absolutely wonderful stay! Staff was friendly, easy valet parking, clean spacious room and loved the convenience of the golf cart to and from Shands! I will be staying again!
The staff was very kind. They were friendly at check-in and couldn’t be more helpful as we tried to find a place for dinner, especially the people working the valet.
The room was very warm when we arrived. But once we got the A/C turned on, the room cooled down. The bathroom had a nice layout and at first looked very clean. However when I showered in the morning, I found hair on the permanent shampoo/conditioner bottles and a dead bug behind the door. These little things wouldn’t keep me from staying here again but wish the details were handled better. We also didn’t enjoy riding the elevator with and right after the person who had clearly been smoking weed. It reeked for quite awhile afterwards. But again I am not sure what else the hotel could do as they already have each person sign an agreement about not smoking anything of any kind within the hotel.
