The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean and breakfast was good. They even had a person available to make an omelette of your choice along with a buffet of eggs, bacon and sausage. Plus the usual breakfast items at most hotels. Convenient to I75 with a gas station next door to fill up before heading out.

Got there the morning of UF game and was told by an extremely rude Texas person (not sure what his job was) that we were not allowed in hotel as they had it reserved for the UT football team. Never once told by employees the day prior that we would not be allowed in until after 3(I had called to ask about early check in). Also, water in room never got more than lukewarm in both shower and sink. Property itself was quiet and breakfast was good.
