Convenient access to local events including the Florida Bat Festival and Santa Fe Spring Arts Festival

Cons

20-kilometer distance from the airport requires transportation planning

“Comfort Inn University has friendly front desk staff. However, several online comments mention issues with cleanliness and outdated rooms, which might make some travelers think twice. For a quick stay near the University of Florida, it could suffice, but managing expectations is key.”
