a place to sleep

its a hotel, nothing special, was under construction so they are trying, close to everything you may need including highway access. the room was 8 out of 10, I bring a blacklight and the bed passed inspection but the floors did not, bring slippers or flip flops. breakfast is an up charge which I thought was ridiculous. nice common area for gathering. internet speed was basic. again its a hotel to rest your head. would stay again

The hotel was good. We stayed on the first floor. The room was clean. The only thing was the young lady at the front desk, her name was Jade, did they not process my checkout when I went to the front desk at 7:30 AM. (she appeared to be surprised that I was personally requesting my check out). I realized because the Hilton app notified me that it was time to check out so I did through the app.

I stayed in this hotel because I needed to be close to Shands for my surgery. Not only did my room keys not work, it took 2 hours for the AC to cool off the room. Very disappointed.
