Top Duckpond Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

8/10 Good
"Overall, I think the hotel is nice. The staff was nice and I didn’t get any weird smells or anything. I think the beds need to be updated because I can feel the springs when I sleep so it makes it for a harder day or even harder to sleep in besides that and no one coming to our room to make our bed. Everything was great."
