I had a sick pet at UF Animal Hospital who ended up needing to stay 10 days. I was very grateful for this quiet, clean, economical (they offer hospital discounts) place to stay. The staff was polite but not intrusive. The room was spotless every day and with fresh towels, glasses, etc. The room smelled clean, no evidence of cigarette... More

Do yourself a favor and don't stay here! The staff is rude and the rooms are sure to put u in the hospital. The location was good, but still not worth it. My aunt's room smelled horrid and the bed was not made. Our beds in our room were stinky and full of someone's hair!! The carpet was stained and... More

My father was having surgery at Shands and we stayed here because it was advertised as being within walking distance to the hospital. It was indeed very close to the hospital but a stay here could put you there. It was the worse room we have ever stayed in. We had reservations for two nights but only stayed one night.... More

The property was clean and rooms are average, the price very reasonable. This is an older hotel so I did not expect the best. The manager is rude and unprofessional, but my biggest complaint is this motel claims to deal with patients and families from 2 area hospitals (both within walking distance). While staying there I found out one of... More

My family and I have stayed at the Rush numerous times over the last few years.

I had to go to Shands hospital unexpectedly this year and found this little motel right around the corner. Even though it looks older on the outside, it was actually pretty nice. The motel was very quiet and the staff was super friendly! I was very pleased with my stay!! I would recommend this motel to anyone! More
