I only stayed 2 nights and had to switch to 3 different rooms. Walked into bathroom area and floor was flooded. Bathroom floor, floor outside bathroom and tub were filled with at least 1” of sewage water. Called front desk and she said she would send maintenance guy and switch my room. Had to pack up all my things and drive to other side of building. Brought all my things in new room. Walked into bathroom and tub was filled with feces and water. I called front desk again, now aggravated, and she said she needed to come and look. Like I’m making up the fact that feces and water is in the tub? I told her how absolutely disgusting and inconveniencing it was to now have to get all my stuff and move to a third room. Her only response was well if it was my hotel I’d do things differently.
There was never a single person at reception desk entire time I was there. I had to check in and out at hotel reception next door. Very unsatisfactory visit and I will not be returning.

Of course this is an older property, but the mattresses were in EXCELLENT condition. It's probably not a choice for a vacation stay, but for a night or two off the road it was fine. The hotel is immediatly east of Interstate 75 at exit #384. It's just one exit away from the Univ. of FL. My car's navigation could not find it. The property is reached by turning south and up the steep road between a vacant Shell station and the 43rd St. Deli.
