The Sleep Inn is convenient to Shands Hospital. The property was clean and breakfast was great. Could use some updates but overall would definitely stay there again and recommend to others.
We were very pleased with our stay. The room was excellent and the staff was very nice and great to deal with. The breakfast was very good as well . We will stay there again in the future

Okay for a short stay. Hotel is older and it shows. The beds were clean and comfortable. Breakfast has a decent spread. Overall for the reasonable price, can’t complain
