Parking is extremely difficult at best.A pen and note pad would have been appreciated in the room. Pouring water into the coffee pot with the cup provided was messy. No microwave. The bed and pillows were excellent. The staff was pleasant and accommodating.

Amazing hotel. Wish surge pricing wasn't a thing

Absolutely love this hotel. The location. The staff. The rooms. The beds. The patio and pool deck. The price... EXCEPT when they jack it x 4 for The FEST. I REALLY wish I could afford to stay here for FEST. Accessibility is too notch too. As a paraplegic in their mid 40s.

Decent place

This is a typical Hyatt Place, clean, comfortable and the service is as expected, The hotel is reasonably close to the University of Florida and has several great spots for food and nightlife within easy walking distance. There is a great cat cafe about a 2 minute walk from the hotel.
