Great location if you are visiting UF and amazing fountain view if you get the right room. A/C was loud and blew directly onto the bed, making it hard to sleep. Room temperature was inconsistent—either too hot or too cold. Ceiling looks unfinished, though I was told it’s part of the design.

Wonderful stay! Room very nice and the bathroom very clean. Close to UF. The food in the restaurant was delicious. The only thing that I would comment on is the ceiling in our room did not look like they finished the drywall. Not sure if all rooms are like that or if it was just ours. I would definitely stay here again, regardless of that one negative.
