Quite. Which is good. Close to several places to eat but maybe to far from the campus for most.

Positives: Outstanding staff, and accommodations!

Negatives: Larger conventions.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 20 May 2011 rated 8 out of 10.

It is well located and is good value for the money. There is no closet for ones clothes only an exposed bar across one of the walls. This is chintzy and spoils the ambiance. It could easily be fixed.

Positives: The entrance area was really nice.

Negatives: The lighting in the bathroom was totally inadequate for shaving or makeup.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 18 Jan 2011 rated 5 out of 10.

We stayed there last year and it was exceptional. This year not so much. The room was not as nice. Even though the breakfast was good, the area was busy and there was not enough seating.

Positives: The breakfast was not bad.

Negatives: We were issued a handicap room, which was not necessary. The sheets were gray and old. The view was awful.

This hotel is updated and clean. The rooms are a bit small but adequate. I was unable to connect to the hotel's network but did not try to trouble shoot with the staff. Just outside of the main lobby is a great pool and patio area complete with a hot tub. Would make a great family stopover spot. The staff was very friendly and helpful getting me a ground floor room.

Positives: Very friendly staff and clean appearance.

Negatives: Rooms need flat panel TVs and refrigerators.

From the minute you check in you feel relaxed. The well appointed lobby and friendly staff were a delight to this mother traveling with a 3 year old. They made it easy for us to unwind. While you are there check out the Gator Den sports bar on-site at the Hotel. The food is wonderful, we especially liked the buffalo wings.

Positives: The selection for the deluxe continental breakfast was phenomenal, as well as the friendliness of the staff.

Negatives: The beds could have been a bit more comfortable, but they weren't bad.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 09 Sep 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

On North side of UF. Quiet and out of the way without being very far away. Staff is very pro-Gator! Yay! Pool and Jacuzzi are open all night!

Positives: Pool and Jacuzzi was open all night! Staff was very helpful with directions and parking for the Gator Games.

Negatives: Hallway walls are sparse, needs more artwork to feel more homey.
