The room was clean and well-equipped with everything I needed—refrigerator, TV, microwave, electric kettle, hair dryer, air conditioner, and more. When I first entered, it felt a bit humid—probably because the AC had been turned off—but it improved once I turned the air conditioner on. It's a quiet location, just a 10-minute drive from UF. If you're visiting the UF campus or UF hospital, this is an excellent spot. The property offers a great combination of location and price. I plan to stay here again on my next visit.

It is a smoker’s inn. Even non-smoking rooms smell like a heavy smoker stayed there right before. The in. Itself is good for the price.

A lower end, budget motel maybe equivalent to Motel 6 to Extended Stay. The room was smaller than most motels. I would rate it 5 on a 10 scale. Probably won't visit this again as there are others that are better.

HVAC worked very well. Pool was not open, even to just sit in the chairs around the water! The picnic area was ok but the surrounding space looked like a big mess with potted plants (maybe it’s now going to be a plants store too!)
