While the rooms are a nice size, ther is no microwave or frig in room. We stayed 3 nights for a surgerical procedure and were forced to eat out. There are other hotels close to Shands that are a much better value. Beware there is an amenity fee of $2.50 per night. We were not going to use thes "amenities"... More

Unfortunately, I didn’t check TripAdvisor before booking my stay at this place. Having had good luck with the travel site I typically use, I trusted their star rating and pictures posted online. What a disaster. It’s an absolute dive. The pictures on the booking site I used and on the hotel’s website are not recent. I have a hard time... More

Definitely a very decent place for the money. That staff here is professional, the continental breakfast is okay, cereal, yogurt, folgers, pastries, bagels/cream cheese, etc... The beds and rooms are awesome. best night of sleep I had in a while. I paid under $50, and was happy. Ashley is a little hotty too gentlemen! More

Okay so I shouldn't complain because if one pays $45 a night for a hotel expectations should be very, very low. Our room smelled so weird, in a bad way. I could not possibly identify the smell but it could be compared to a old run down hospital mixed with moth balls and lighter fluid. Luckily we only had to... More

This Hotel has the most comfortable foam temperpedic mattress thingy's, great staff and a really nice conference center. We are going to use this place all the time. If you have a budget, but need a really nice place, STAY HERE. Surrounding hotels are disgusting, especially Days Inn. More

Below is the same e-mail I sent the Owners, Management and such, as to the lewd and sexual misconduct by an employee working and OMG, Living on-site. This man is a sexual deviant and is nasty. Beware. Dear Sir or Madam; While staying as a guest for two nights, this past weekend, my husband, kids and I were embarrassed when... More

The pictures that are shown for the hotel are much nicer than the actual thing. Staff was friendly. Bed was very comfortable. Upon arrival we found out the pool was closed which was not mentioned when making the reservation. I would have went elsewhere if this had been disclosed beforehand. The breakfast was average. Included juice, coffee, milk, tea, bagels,... More

We got to our room and when we walked into the room, it smelled terrible, the bathroom had rusted faucets and the sheets on BOTH beds were stained.....it was the same in the room next to us!! With the only other option being to go pay $300-$400... More

We stopped by this roach-hole to look around to see if things have improved from over 3 years ago. They are the same if not worse. Not only did they lose their Clarion Hotel franchise, but the same song about positive changes and a new direction has been playing for the last 3 years, and this hotel is still disgusting.... More
