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.

Great location

Hotel is modern and beds are comfortable. It’s a short distance to the UF campus. Has restaurants next to it including an ice cream shop. The pool area is nice too. The street crowds can be noisy but hotel provided ear plugs in each room. We didn’t find the noise to be distracting.

I loved the hotel and the location, plenty of food and drinks in walkable distance. However, this leads to lots of nighttime noise, and the worse part is the parking. There is not a lot for the hotel, you are almostbforced to do valet. Or your choice is a parking garage a few blocks away or hope you can find a parking spot along the street, but make sure you follow the city parking rules.
