What guests say
8.9 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 464 guest reviews
Hotel Eleo earns consistently strong praise for its warm, attentive staff, spacious and clean rooms, and unbeatable proximity to the University of Florida and Shands medical center. The on-site restaurant and shuttle service to medical facilities are notable extras, though recurring frustrations around mandatory paid valet parking, inconsistent air conditioning, and a lack of blackout blinds temper an otherwise highly positive experience. Overall sentiment across the reviews is overwhelmingly favorable, with most guests indicating they would return.
