Liked: Staff & service, amenities
Staff was incredible. Rooms a little dark and dingy but staff and amenities made up for it
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!
Overall stay was awesome. Two issues. 1. technical issue with the safe lock. which did not work and had to be fix. 2. The telephone did not work. Again the overall stay was awesome.
Loved this stay! Beautiful decor and the staff were so sweet and welcoming! Sierra was amazing and gave great recommendations for places to eat and enjoy my evening! I ended up on a date because of her! 😍 A girl needed it!
