Smaller motel but easy access to UF, downtown, airport, and interstate. Modest room with smallish but clean bathroom. My room was a king bed with fridge and microwave. Very reasonable and quiet.

This property was unique in that you could check in at any time you wanted. There wasn’t a rule about not being able to check in until 3-4pm like at most hotels. The room was very nice and spacious. The hotel was close to everything I needed. It was a pleasant experience and I’d stay there again.

Good for the price

This motel was very convenient to my meeting at the University of Florida. Check in very easy with friendly staff. I felt the breakfast was on the lower end of the spectrum compared to other motels offering free breakfast. I would stay there again.

Pictures seriously over inflated look of room. But it was a cheap room and clean, so I was happy. Check in guy made me feel like I was annoying him when I was checking in. Probably not the best way to treat a customer. At least pretend you enjoy the job.

Pleasant stay.

The room was spacious. A little dated, but the bathroom had been updated and was nice. Good location close to UF. Breakfast was very basic with no protein. But overall an enjoyable stay. Clean, comfortable, and basic.
