"For the price it's an okay stay. There's a bed and a tv if you need some entertainment. So, good deal if you need an affordable place to lay your head. Staff is very nice and friendly as well. However, the beds are a little hard, fridge took a while to cool down drinks, and I had to use the microwave twice on the same item before it got hot. So, it's really up to what you are looking for."

Top Waldo Hotel Reviews

Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida

Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida

8/10 Good
"This hotel is very good. However, if you’re out of your room after 11 am, don’t expect them to clean it after that. I had to request service the fort day and they did. But the second day I didn’t even try. The room was clean and well kept but there wa some mold in the bathroom. The staff is very friendly including the valet. They have no self-park option."
