I like the closeness of this place to downtown food and entertainment. The woman who helped me at check in was friendly and I liked her immediately. My room was pretty basic which is what I expected at that price point. For an inexpensive little place to sleep along your journey, this place is just fine.

It would be nice to be able to watch streaming services instead of cable but it's not a huge deal

Amazing location, only a 30 minute walk to the stadium! The gentleman at the front desk and the cleaning ladies were extremely helpful and friendly. Overall, we would definitely stay here again.

The shower is super small. The water pressure was surprisingly good though. And, there's no coffee maker in the room.

The ice machine was broken, but the receptionist gave me a cup full from the staff's fridge (very nice!). The room was exceptionally clean.

The AC unit was noisy. The mattress was not comfy. The shower spray was uncomfortable (the head needs replaced/updated). Everything else was nice and clean.

Close to Gainesville Dragstrip, plenty of places to eat Sonny's highly recommended Towels changed daily and bed made daily, not expected at the price.

Aircon very noisy and not adjustable.

Lady who checked us in was extremely nice. She even offered to allow us to use a sheltered area to lodge our motorcycles for the night due to rain. Great customer service

Could've been a tad more updated, but not a big concern.

Walking distance to everything downtown, stayed here last time we were in town and this time due to great location. Staff was friendly.

Bed was a bit springy for my preference but not bad, microwave was a little underpowered (3-4mins to heat up water for coffee).
