Tim, Oct 2023
Maid never cleaned room but maybe we were in there too long. She was just two doors away when we left for the day. Halls are musty. Carpet in hall should be replaced. The plumbing fixtures are old. The sink faucet barely ran in the hot mode. It's mixing cartridge needed replacing.

Pros (+) This trip was covered by the University of Florida, So I couldn't beat the price. The Staff were friendly and the overall impression was very positive indeed.
Cons (-) The building feels older. Everything works like you'd expect, but would not be my first choice location to take formal photos.
