“Horror Show!”

Reviewed June 16, 2013 NEW

I checked in for a 5 days stay (GRANDdaughter was take.n by ambulance to Shands). Although staff was pleasant, the rooms were not. The entire facility looked like it needed a great surgeon to do a face and body lift. The entire 5 nights I was there, the toilet didn't work. I communicated this to the staff EVERY day. NOTHING!...

“Needs Improvement”

I'll start off with the room: Pros: The bed was comfortable. Cons: The room that I was in was very cold and damp with a view of the parking lot. All night I heard people coming and going and beeping their cars. This is not necessarily the hotel's fault but it bears mentioning. The walls were paper thin. I could... More

I stayed there May 31-June 2. Checkin was a breeze and took no time at all. After I got settled, I went to the restaurant for a light meal and a drink.
