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

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

The beds were extremely comfortable, and the walk-in shower was a nice fit for me, considering I have bad knees and did not need to put my legs over or worry about slipping.

I had a love, hate relationship with the valet only parking. Though it could be a nice amenity, it was a bit inconvenient for us being on an already early time schedule. The valet employees were extremely friendly and professional and worked as quickly as possible to retrieve vehicles.

I did not have breakfast, but I love the complimentary valet parking. The car was already ready when I walked outside. The hotel was so clean and well put together. The staff were amazing. I will stay here again when I return in the next 2 weeks. The views were BEAUTIFUL, and it was close to the university and plenty of places around. I HIGHLY recommend it and will be back!

I have no issue with the property at all.

Close to campus and our daughter’s apartment. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Nice shower and bathroom.

No complementary coffee or hot tea in lobby. No tea bags, or creamer in room. Keurig coffee in room was terrible. For the price, a complementary brewed coffee would have been appreciated. The restaurant sold latte’s for $7. Ridiculous

Hotel was beautiful and looked just like its picture. The room was spacious and had 2 tvs. Bathroom was large and had beautiful of the grounds.

Hotel is like near the hospital. There is no self parking you have to use valet. They dont charge you per say but you feel bad asking someone to get your car more than once a day. No food places around only fast food. Was in town for track meet. By the description I would have thought the hotel was closer to College.

Scenic lake view, with windows the entire length of the room made the space seem huge. Fast elevators, super friendly staff, downstairs bar. Beautifully landscaped walking paths around the property and nearby buildings.

We were a little baffled at first by the in-room Nespresso machine, regular coffeemaker would have been sufficient. Only parking option is complimentary valet but attendants were very fast and accommodating.

Great location close to UF Comfortable room Complimentary Valet Parking L'Occitane soap, shampoo and high-end toiletries usually not found at this price range hotel Improved breakfast options at the restaurant Cost-efficient breakfast options

Valet parking only. However, staff was quick to retrieve vehicle with minimal wait time Difficult to find room lighting controls Understaffed cafeteria restaurant with slow service Ambience is a bit somber. Could use some decor to make it more lively
