Clean lobby, breakfast area, and room. Bed/pillows/comforters are soft and plush. Breakfast included waffles, fried eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, grits, cereal, fresh apples, yogurt, juices, and coffee. Free chocolate chip and M&M cookies, popcorn, coffee, and tea until 11 pm. Quiet neighborhood and hotel. Very close to UF medical facilities without the need to get onto the interstate.
