There is no parking, you have to find parking in a garage or a lot and it is not cheap. I ended up paying and extra $200 for parking for a three night stay. It’s also loud in the early morning with back up alarms from grange trucks and local traffic. There are complementary ear plugs in the rooms. The cleaning service was requested every day and only performed one day. The staff is very friendly and the rooms are very roomy and clean. The mattresses were already woren out for a newer hotel.

I came to tour University of Florida with my daughter. The room was spacious and clean. Breakfast was excellent. There is parking on the street so you don't need to pay for resort parking. Our room was facing the pool and also the bar right across the street. The music was loud but they do provide ear plugs. Overall, it was very enjoyable and I will definitely book it again
