Great UF location

Nice facility, friendly staff, ease of use. We had to change rooms because several electrical outlets didn’t work and the shower floor was very slick. The breakfast is convenient but hardly worth the money. On our last day, they dropped a forty two dollar bill on our table for cold eggs and sausage, for two diners. I had received a ‘final’ bill from AC for our stay via email. When the Missus asked for a hard copy upon checkout, the billing was different, substantially. Fun location with plenty of walkable restaurants and young adults. It’s sad to see the homeless milling about. I’m always counting my blessings.

The water pressure was extremely low. I could barely brush my teeth. We only had one bath towel and had to wait awhile for them to bring more. That was after calling the front desk 5 times, but they did not answer, so I finally called the outside line using my cell. and got to talk to someone. The hotel was nice in the lobby and was sufficiently clean, but it's sometimes the little things that make or break the experience. I would not feel loyal to this hotel if I went back to Gainesville.

Not my favorite hotel stay.

We checked in late as we got stuck in horrible traffic. So our road trip was extended an extra 3 hours so we were exhausted. We get to our first room and it was used. TV was on sheets were pulled back and pillow had an indent like someone was sleeping, the bathroom had used towels laying around and the soap was open. In the moment and being exhausted we went down stairstairs to sort this out not realizing until the next day I left my boots in the first room when I placed them down. We check the desk. No one has stayed in that room since but boots were not there. We check with desk that night and they said room service would have them and they have left. So next morning when checking out we ask the desk.
