Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities

I have stayed at this property now five times and each time we had a good stay. However, this stay, I found that the hotel was lacking in cleanliness and basic amenities. The price that I paid for this day was extremely high. our room did not come with complementary water bottles. The shower had mold and dirt growing in the cracks the one elevators doors on the interior word, disgustingly dirty the lobby should be able to offer complementary water upon arriving or whenever there is no breakfast offered with the fee that I paid per night, every time the air conditioning clicked on in the room. It made a loud noise starting us awake I’m not sure if I will be staying at this property again.

The property felt as if it was a lower grade hotel. Some of the people staying looked like they belong in a motel 6. Just didn’t feel like a Hilton used to be.

Uncomfortable Beds & outdated Hotel

The hotel as a whole is a bit outdated, however the staff was extremely nice and helpful. The bathroom & room in itself needs updating & the Beds are extremely uncomfortable, but it was for 1 night, so we needed the hotel to be close to the UF campus for graduation.
