Property is updated but still a bit worn. Easy fixes - the ratty chair at the table - should be addressed. Safe, clean, inexpensive spot.

The property is clean inside and around the hotel, the staff is friendly and helpful. If you’re headed to UF, it’s 5 minutes away, really convenient. If you’re looking for a good dinner spot - Seoul Pocha is great right next door. So, overall a great experience.

When I checked into the hotel it was slow and once I tried my key it did not work. My room had a foul smell to it. And every day I had to get my key re aligned. I would never recommend or stay in this again.
