"Great staff, clean, and wonderful breakfast. Will definitely stay there again!"

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

8/10 Good

"The mattress was firmer than I like. It seemed that the breakfast eggs were either powdered eggs or pre-prepared yolk liquid. The separation of the stations was nice once I realized that was the setup. I didn't see any milk if the diner needed it for cereal or to drink."

"My husband was at Shand‘s for open-heart surgery. I am so happy that I found this Condo. It was perfect to go back-and-forth from the hospital as it is only about 5 to 7 minutes away. it was super clean, stocked nicely, and the washer and dryer made it perfect. The communication from the owner is great. All kinds of shopping and restaurants are within 5 to 10 minutes from the condo as well. I would highly recommend this for anyone going near Shands or UF."
