The front desk associate Patrick was very helpful and friendly. Our room was more than we expected with 2 sliding doors opening up to a balcony view of a serine lake circled with large live oaks, the pictures don't do this hotel justice. You feel like your in a different place yet so close to the University of Florida which... more

Great cost-effective hotel in a super charming area over-looking a small lake. There is a wonderful pool for the kids and a full sized, full service restaurant. Room was large, clean and comfortable. We will definitely stay there again. more

We have stayed at the Paramount several times. It is clean, with helpful and friendly staff. Restaurant is quite good and reasonable. The only problem we had was the TV remote was not working and the staff was right on it!! It is also reasonably priced. Good location too. more

I stayed at the Paramount with a little apprehension because I had read many horrible reviews on Trip Advisor and other sites. I went into my stay at the hotel with a critical eye, but ended my stay being pleasantly surprised overall. I will give you the good the bad and the ugly of the stay. The good, or should... more

Excellent staff. They were professional, pleasant and courteous. Called the room shortly after we checked in to make sure everything was to our expections. Beautiful view of the lake. There is also a lovely pool and a very nice fitness room.We were quite comfortable and felt very safe there. We did not try the restaurant on this trip but we... more

We asked for adjoining and if we could upgrade them to lakeview from the hotwire rate, but was told they were sold out of lakeview rooms for that night. To our surprise when we got there, not only were we given... more

Here for a conference...the hotel's website says "completely renovated in 2007." Clearly that didn't mean the room we were in or the other ones I saw. Paint and wallpaper peeling, mildew in the shower stall, holes in the walls painted over, burn marks in the carpet, and cracked/crumbling vinyl curtains. Beds were stained and worn, with mattresses that didn't fit... more

We stayed here using a coupon from one of those newsprint coupon books for about $40 and thought it was the best bargain we'd had in a month traveling in Florida. The size and decor of the room were exceptional for a budget rate, even if it didn't include breakfast (there's an IHOP just across the street, or you can... more

I stayed here in Feb 2009, first note added fees will be billed to the rate they tell you over the phone, on the internet or via a booking service. Its outrageous that they change your total and will call it an amenity fee or something else. The room had torn sheets, dirty sheets, cracks in the walls, dirty windows.... more
