Weekend stay

The staff at this location is amazing. Everyone is so polite and friendly. Loved the size of our room. Our room had a microwave which was amazing and a pretty good size mini fridge. The bathroom tub could have had a better deep clean and the door to the bathroom was a bit awkward due to its large size. Overall though everything was great.

The place looks nothing like what is advertised. Those pics are deceiving. First room they assigned rm 401. Room was dirty. Nightstand dirty. Chair full of stains. Lounge seat tore up. Bathroom door lock broken. Couldn’t even close the door. Bath tub disgusting. Not clean and rusty. The bed sheets look dirty and raggedy. We requested another room. Rm 220. Which was slightly better. Breakfast nasty. Only thing good was the cookies and popcorn which is not all you can have as they were not refilling it. Overall. Waste of $280 dollars. That place is worth more like $95 a night. I will never sleep there again.

The overall was okay but the tubs in the 2 rooms we had were dirty. The a/c in one of the rooms didnt work properly so we were sweating in our sleep. On the back door, there was tape on it so anyone could just come in without a key which was a bit scary.

Not the most comfortable or cleanest

I first want to say the front desk staff were absolutely wonderful and helpful. One came up to my room to help me with the complicated tv. They were friendly and kind. The rooms on the other hand were outdated, walls were cracking the bed had hairs on it, clothing was left in the closet and the pillows and mattress were horrible. The pillows were either completely flat or full of hard lumps, the mattress was old and sinking in. Most of this was not the staffs fault.

Shands appt

An acceptable place to overnight for next day appointment at Shands Hospital. Close but traffic makes the trip to facility about 15 minutes. Least expensive for the area.
