Did not have. Was it included? Unaware of that. Had dinner that was mediocre to bad. Hamburger was well done when ordered MR. Sent back and came back oversalted. Salmon portion was very small for the price. Was a tiny filet. The jazz group was excellent and made the evening. So nice to hear good Jazz.
The food. Drinks were more expensive than NYC and inconsistent with the price. Dry Grey Goose Martini was weak for 20.00. Service was slow and food was lukewarm when delivered. One waitress seemed to be serving too many tables (or entire dining room) resulting in food that was sitting out befwaiting to be served.

The location was excellent, due to the fact that I had tests at UF Health starting at 6:30 am on Thursday morning. We decided to eat at the on-site restaurant. The food and service was very good. The shower could use a grab bar and a shelf for our own bodywash, shampoo, etc. The bed was a little uncomfortable, but we are spoiled by our adjustable bed. With all that being said, it was a good stay and very nice not to have to get up so early and drive to Gainesville for my tests.

We were soooo comfortable! We came here after midnight after an uncomfortable situation at another place we were staying at. I love Eleo. Parking is only complimentary valet, no self parking and I thought that might be a little inconvenient but whenever we needed the car for any reason we always got it quickly and it was never a bother to them. I wouldn't hesitate to book here if the price is right.

Wow.. first time staying at this hotel to get my son off to college at UF. You are required to valet and even though they were extremely busy, they were super friendly and efficient. The rooms were enormous,beautiful and clean. My room looked out over the pond and there were windows the entire length. Enormous and well stocked bathroom. Beds, pillows, and an awesome side lounge type chair were all amazingly comfortable. Loved this hotel and so glad I stayed here. Will be back for the football games!
Required valet.. it’s not convenient when you need to retrieve items from car or suitcase. Restaurant was ok.. the bartender charged me $16 for a gin gimlet, I gave him a $20 and he just “forgot” to give me change.. I had to ask him for that back. Not leaving a $4 tip on an already expensive cocktail. No pool, no exercise room.. but those are the only negatives

A very comfortable hotel! The room felt very luxurious and tasteful and all the staff were very friendly. Location was good for me to reach my business location at UF. The hotel itself is quiet and has vending machines as well as a great restaurant. Quality toiletries were provided.
The bed was a bit soft for my taste; room lighting was difficult to figure out (one light didn't seem to have a switch).

It’s bright and cheerful, decorated for graduation with orange and blue floral displays and balloons making it festive.
Service in restaurant was slow - not sure if they’re understaffed or graduation weekend is just completely overwhelming. Either way the food was good and the servers were excellent. Just took a long time to serve everyone and get menus, etc. Everywhere may be like that on such a busy weekend though. We still had a great time.

Layout of room was unique, view beautiful, angled walk to room nice only I got lost and went wrong way to leave after my stay, ended up in the employees area, but a very nice employee walked me to the right place. Excellent service. Got a free toothbrush, as I forgot mine. And bottle water leaving. They made sure I had a quiet room and it was for the most part.
No parking, felt trapped and forgot stuff abd had to get everything right then. Was not told that at booking by company I booked through. Not sure but rental car may had been damaged where parked or by valet. Seems two new scratches were there or I didn't notice them before. I hate the decorations in the room.and design is okay. I thought the bathroom light didn't work.for 10 minutes I should have been told there is a main switch to turn on lights.

I love that there was complimentary valet parking. There is a restaurant on location. The food was delicious. Although a bit noisy of an environment for my preferences. I was up there for some medical testing so I was a bit on edge to begin with. The staff was very accommodating. The beds were extremely comfortable. The shower was large and inviting. Everything I needed was available to me. There is no swimming pool or hot tub which would have given it a 10 plus plus score
The only thing I would say that I didn't enjoy was the noisy diners in the restaurant. Since I was there for a medical procedure, I wasn't extremely relaxed. So any noise to me was too much noise. The diners were having fun so I was happy to see that. Normally noise wouldn't bother me. With that said the experience was still fantastic. The staff that served us was great. The food was delicious. The prices are a bit on the high side but nothing that I didn't already expect

Our room was beautiful. The hotel is new and clean and close to UCF
Room service does not really exist. We had to go downstairs to get coffee. Our room was also not ready at4:45 when checkin is 4. The staff was accommodating. There are also several non English speaking employees which you can see is a challenge for the English speaking employees

Everything about this hotel was lovely. The bedroom was quiet, comfortable, and had great amenities- even a sound machine. The staff were friendly everywhere I went, including the bar/cocktail area. Convenient to walk to Shands and the valet is kind enough to offer a golf cart, if needed.
Nothing, everything was great!
