This property is EXCELLENT to stay at. The breakfast is great and the ladies who take care of the items are SUPER friendly and everything is kept fresh! We always try to stay at this properly when we visit UF. The location is great and it is easy on and easy off to Interstate 75. The rooms are clean and very kept up. The staff is also very friendly.

Everything was excellent except only one thing. I had a king sized bed which looked delightful. The side most common to sleep on was the right side near the phone and light. The mattress was broken, had a huge dent from the bodies sleeping in the same spot. I had to got to the other side . Probably too soft of a bed in general. Firm should support better. This mattress is beat.

Small touches like better service, cleaner rooms and cleaner lobby area, can compliment this hotel well. I was angry with the fact that a city as big as Miami, the Marriot group could not have their elevators repaired within 1 hour. I had to move 10 suitecases down 5floors with no assistance, when i call the front desk for help they said yes but then ignored me. Never experience this before.

When we arrived, it was 10 pm. As we opened our room door, we noticed that some of the lights were flickering. The red and blue lights were coming from the AC unit. The toilet was running non-stop, and the sink stopper got stuck in the drain. We were informed that there was nobody available to fix the drain issue.

One glaring disappointment about this property... they only have ONE elevator, so everybody checking out at the same time as well as the housekeeping staff trying to move from floor to floor with one elevator for a hotel of the size is ridiculous. Every guest that I encountered was talking about it as well as some of the staff.
