Nice stay during UF Preview. GPS said it would be a 25 minute walk to Reitz Union and since it was during the rainy season we decided to drive. The drive to garage 5 was approximately 10 minutes. Room was a bit on the small side but comfortable and clean. Bathroom was nice except the lighting (not bright enough for makeup application) and no lock on the bathroom door. Probably a bit nit-picky of me, but I did not like that the mattress pad on the bed was only attached at the corners and did not fully cover the sides of the mattress. Also, never received the valet text which I was told would contain a link to an app for requesting the car and for tipping, but called valet before leaving room and car was ready by the time we got downstairs both times. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.
