The hotel was good. We stayed on the first floor. The room was clean. The only thing was the young lady at the front desk, her name was Jade, did they not process my checkout when I went to the front desk at 7:30 AM. (she appeared to be surprised that I was personally requesting my check out). I realized because the Hilton app notified me that it was time to check out so I did through the app.

It was clean, family friendly, welcoming! The boys and girls teams had a great time in the pool! The staff were very supportive of getting our rooms close together! The breakfast had a variety of healthy options for the teams the next morning before the tournaments! I’d stay again!

I stayed in this hotel because I needed to be close to Shands for my surgery. Not only did my room keys not work, it took 2 hours for the AC to cool off the room. Very disappointed.
