“What struck me most is its dedication to creating a vibrant, social hub; the lobby acts as a mini sports bar, complete with a pool table and live music on select nights, plus it's a pet-friendly hotel that welcomes furry companions, making it ideal for those traveling with pets. The modern aesthetic flows throughout, with unique local art and a plug & play connectivity station, but some past guests have noted soundproofing issues, and the need to refresh the room amenities from time to time. It stands out as a modern and energetic option near the University of Florida.”
