"Perhaps my expectations were too high, but for the price ($460 per night) I expected more from this hotel. The majority of the hotel's budget seems to have been spent on its location and exterior, which is beautiful. The interior meanwhile, felt decidedly cheaper. The hallways had a strong chemical odor and industrial lighting quality. My room was quiet, spacious and up-to-date, but the overall quality of the appointments felt most consistent with a new 3-star hotel. The windows were very small for the size of the room. The ceiling sheetrock looked like something out of a Eastern Bloc apartment from the 1960s - it was so poorly assembled it almost seemed to be a design choice, but it certainly did not add any premium feel. I was disappointed that the electric car charging was not complimentary and required downloading the Blink app, which I could not get to work. I did not eat in the restaurant so I cannot comment on it. The staff was friendly and helpful enough but not at the level of a Ritz-Carlton or Four Seasons. I'm not sure I would stay here again for its listed rate."

"My wife and I were pleasantly surprised at how clean the room and bathroom was in fact, the entire facility inside was comfortable looking. we like the composite floors that were in the bedroom and bathroom and how modern things were. Even the TV had many channels which were acceptable viewing for that evening. We have stayed at Fairfield Inn in the past because of the quality standard and cleanliness of their facilities but I feel this was right up there with their operation. Even the complementary breakfast food quality was a pleasant surprise. Keep it up my wife and I feel we have a new choice of hotel to stay at."

"This was a comfortable and clean facility. Room price was average for the area on a Thursday. When checking in, I asked for a ground floor due to less walking for us senior citizens. Front desk member Michael happily changed our room to make this happen. Unfortunately we were awakened around midnight by loud guests in the hallway outside our room. This unnerved our companion dog who started barking. The breakfast offered in the lobby was very good. Overall, we would stay again (this was our second stay due to location and pet friendly) and can recommend."

The location was great. It is located a short distance from the University of Florida, and within 5-10 mins walk there are many various local restaurants that cater to all tastes in foods. The Depot Hotel is a quiet hotel set up in an old-style home, it is a well-looked and clean hotel. The staff members I met were welcoming and friendly. The hotel also has live DJs who play in the beer garden, and entertainment area on Friday and Saturday nights which is good but does go till late and makes it a little hard to sleep if you're tired. I would definitely stay here again if I come back in the future.

Hyatt always guarantees quality, clean, service - no surprises. Staff is very attentive. We asked for extra towels on our second day and they were brought to the room within 15 minutes. There was no cleaning offered automatically on the second night of the stay, but it was not necessary for us. You are allowed to requested it if you wish. Street on the north of hotel is undergoing repairs, limiting some restaurant access.

The hotel is located in the new sub-center of the city, which is very new soon after opening. The room is large and the bathroom is large. The room is equipped with a refrigerator. The front desk and room service are quite satisfactory and the service staff is very good. The decoration style in the room is modern. Health is great. Wifi signal is strong and fast. The surrounding environment is good. The student graduation season, the price of the hotel near the school has risen a lot, this hotel is in a reasonable range, is my main consideration for choosing it.

Stayed for one night, booked two rooms for my family. The location is convenient as it is close to other stores like Target and other diners. Rooms were clean and had basic amenities but there is no microwave. Expected more from this hotel but the staff who checked in us could be more professional and friendly. One of our room pass card wasn’t working so had to go downstairs. Staff charged me twice so I’m still waiting for it to get corrected. Manager and staff when we checked out were very professional and assured me the payment would be fixed, so I hope it will happen soon. Overall, it was average.
