Disliked: Cleanliness
We stayed on the sixth floor, the hallway smells like popcorn or feet. The room was not the cleanest. I observed Hair in the corner of the bathrooms. Unless you find street parking, there’s no designated parking. You can valet or park in a garage where it is $30 for overnight and anytime you come and go you have to pay . Walking to the hotel from the garage was scary and the garage was very dirty, it smelled like pee, and there are homeless people lingering around. So parking and walking to the hotel felt very inconvenient. We came here for a work trip, because it is downtown it is really loud outside. It was hard to sleep. Until two in the morning, I was hearing music playing loud downstairs and people screaming in the streets. I also called after my stay to see if I left some clothes. The staff took my number and no one has yet to call me back.

Great location

Hotel is modern and beds are comfortable. It’s a short distance to the UF campus. Has restaurants next to it including an ice cream shop. The pool area is nice too. The street crowds can be noisy but hotel provided ear plugs in each room. We didn’t find the noise to be distracting.

I loved the hotel and the location, plenty of food and drinks in walkable distance. However, this leads to lots of nighttime noise, and the worse part is the parking. There is not a lot for the hotel, you are almostbforced to do valet. Or your choice is a parking garage a few blocks away or hope you can find a parking spot along the street, but make sure you follow the city parking rules.
