My family—husband, me, daughter (age 17) and son (age 14)—stayed here for the week. We were in town for my son’s swim meet, which was near the convention center and only about 5-10 minutes from the condo. It’s also very close to Universal and SeaWorld—both about 15 mins. One day, we also drove up to Gainesville to visit Univ. of Florida with my daughter.
The condo was stylish and clean. My son said his bed was so comfortable (memory foam?), he didn’t want to get out of it. 🤣 There was a huge TV (2 actually, although we only used one because my husband and I used the extra TV room as an “office” when we had to do some work.) The balcony is large and the furniture very comfy. Balcony view is of the parking lot, but it was actually fun to people watch, and just seeing the palm trees was enough for me. The pool is right behind the building, which was GREAT. I walked down there most days to sun myself and got a beer at the tiki bar once (open 11am-11pm).
The only cons were minor: 1. The fitted sheet on the king bed was a little too small, so we had to keep pulling it back on. Minor. 2. Some days, there was a very bad odor in the hallway and elevator, probably from the trash (which people put in bins just outside their doors in the hallway). Some days, they’d spray, so it wasn’t bad. Other days, we had to hold our breath. That said, the smell NEVER permeated the condo.
We’ve already decided we will definitely stay here again next time we have to stay near the convention center or Universal. LOVED it.
