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.

It will do ...
The staff is very friendly and it seemed clean, but there was a weird smell in the hall on the 4th floor. The room didnt have it.
This hotel has seen better days, but its a great place if youre wanting to keep the budget down. Its also a good location.

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The rooms on the other hand were outdated, walls were cracking the bed had hairs on it, clothing was left in the closet and the pillows and mattress were horrible.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.
