Overall at a good location. But rooms are too basic and dont have a great view of campus.
Great place to stay if visiting UF in Gainesville. Across street from campus. Very convenient. Seemed like one of the nicer hotel options in the area as well.

Stay at this hotel often, slipped in the shower the last trip and this trip there was a live five inch roach in my shower.
Great location as we were in town for a student tour of UF. Easy to valet and check in. Very clean lobby, room and bathroom. Cool pool on rooftop with great UF views.
