Got there the morning of UF game and was told by an extremely rude Texas person (not sure what his job was) that we were not allowed in hotel as they had it reserved for the UT football team. Never once told by employees the day prior that we would not be allowed in until after 3(I had called to ask about early check in). Also, water in room never got more than lukewarm in both shower and sink. Property itself was quiet and breakfast was good.

Came for a sweet 16 party. Everything was good. There was a power outage that killed our thermostat so they put us in a new room. Breakfast was good, omelette station was the best part. Overall good stay, would stay again.
