"Charming"

Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida

10/10 Excellent

"There's a good variety of food everything was good. The room was kept clean with new towels and sheets while I was away. A late checkout option would be helpful."

Depot Village

8/10 Good

"Our biggest issue was the setup of the bathroom. With no shower curtain or door, anytime we took a shower, the floor and everything else in the small space got wet and made the floor slippery. The hot water didn't last long either. The only other issue was there is nowhere to just sit in the living space other than two small stools at the bar. Would love to have had somewhere to sit other than the bed."
