We came up from Tampa for the UF football game and were simply impressed by the hospitality, service, food & drinks from the bar and the little market! Everyone was extremely helpful and friendly. The room was excellent! Bed and sheets were perfect! TV was HUGE! We will definitely be staying again when in town!

It was clean, family friendly, welcoming! The boys and girls teams had a great time in the pool! The staff were very supportive of getting our rooms close together! The breakfast had a variety of healthy options for the teams the next morning before the tournaments! I’d stay again!

a place to sleep
its a hotel, nothing special, was under construction so they are trying, close to everything you may need including highway access. the room was 8 out of 10, I bring a blacklight and the bed passed inspection but the floors did not, bring slippers or flip flops. breakfast is an up charge which I thought was ridiculous. nice common area for gathering. internet speed was basic. again its a hotel to rest your head. would stay again

My First Stay; Not My Last
It appears to be an older place, yet it was well kept. The room was clean and comfortable. The check-in was great and Elaina was very personable and accommodating. They have a bar and a breakfast (for a cost), although I didn’t use either. It’s not a 5-star spit shine, but well worth a weekend stay.

The hotel was good. We stayed on the first floor. The room was clean. The only thing was the young lady at the front desk, her name was Jade, did they not process my checkout when I went to the front desk at 7:30 AM. (she appeared to be surprised that I was personally requesting my check out). I realized because the Hilton app notified me that it was time to check out so I did through the app.
