We only stayed for one night. The staff was very helpful, but the rooms were a surprise in a poor way. The first room bathroom was awful. It smelled of mildew, and the tub surface was in bad condition. The second room we were given was missing its desk lamp and the multi port device charger the was in the previous room. You could see where it weas ripped out by someone. This normally would not have been an issue and something we could have worked with, but my wife was doing an inline seminar that night and needed all of the power connection for her laptop and devices and needed the extra light of the lamp. The staff was very helpful in trying to find replacements, but after unsuccessfully helping us, moved is to a third room. The property seems nice in the common areas, but I was so disappointed in the rooms.

We arrived for my son’s graduation at UF and we were busy the entire day . The 1st room we received wasn’t even clean, they switched our room and the at the new room the desk and the refrigerator cabinet was all moldy . We complained to the manger he wasn’t nice. They didn’t have another room to switch . The second night they didn’t clean our room , and when we arrived at midnihght we didn’t have any clean towels and we had a big roach in the room on the wall . We were disgusted from the hotel . Very disappointing paying almost $700 for 2 nights . Not recommended

Everyone has different standards, I know! Its a 3 star hotel However I have to say the room is very outdated and the bathroom felt gross. You can see some mold and mildew in the corners and they need a deep cleaning at a professional level. Lots of dust around the corners. I would never willingly stay here again.

Conveniently located. Right off the highway. Minutes from UF campus. Close to any and every store and restaurant you may be looking for. Our room was decently cleaned. The towels provided were horrible. Two out of three towels had some brown and grey stains. The brown stains were like a powdery substance that you could shake off?!? And ALL the towels smelled like they were run thru the laundry WITHOUT detergent. We picked up some replacements that didnt have stains but still didnt smell like they were laudered in any kind of detergent. Same musty smell on the sheets. Wpuld stay here for all the conveniences.

The room had an odor. Wires sticking out of ac unit. Bed sheets were not clean. No conditioner in shower that was dirty. No hand soap in bathroom. No closet for clothes. We had a balcony but were not allowed to smoke even though I saw quite a few people smoking. Very noisy, you could hear everything especially since we were right across from ice machine. Would not record to anyone. 300.00 to stay at a Hilton that was a disgrace.
