The staff were all very kind upon check-in. The breakfast was very good. The rooms air conditioner was quite noisy when it cycled. The pillows could use an upgrade.

The rooms had a strong odor, like old, dirty furniture, and the decor felt very outdated — even the TV looked like it was from 2008. That said, the staff were truly kind and helpful, which made a big difference. The breakfast was also a positive aspect of the stay.

We checked in about 5 pm on March 29th and Tate at the front desk was so cheerful and helpful! He exemplifies great customer service. We found the property and room to be clean and well appointed. Convenient to USF campus.
