We only came for the night, due to youth sports so didn’t do too much looking. but it was comfortable, the area seemed safe enough. The lady who checked us in was fast and it was an easy check in experience. Popcorn and cookies in the lobby! The free breakfast was great, grabbed breakfast on the way out the door to our game, not having to stop somewhere and spend more money and time was fantastic! The options were great too. Eggs, biscuits and gravy, make your own waffles (regular mix or strawberry mix), yogurts, muffins, breakfast bars, juice coffee hot chocolate. The room was comfortable, you’re close to a lot of fast food options. We were only there for the night, so can’t be horrible honest about the area.
Obviously, sleeper sofa isn’t the most comfortable. And the carpet in the room felt damp, I chalked it up to the humidity/ac running and it just being Florida. Small irritation but, the sleeper sofa sheets and stuff should be in the closet in the room. Had to go down to the lobby as we’re getting ready for bed, around 11 ,to get the sheets pillow and blanket for the pullout. Like I said, small irritation and inconvenience.

The staff was so Friendly upon check in ! She was a wealth of information on the area and association to the local university. The Continental breakfast was greatly presented, clean and tidy and had your standard breakfast selections you would expect. The Fresh baked cookies available with Coffee on our late check in were a nice touch !
Our Bathtub seemed to have a lot staining on the floor area, not sure if it was poor cleaning or just age. There was only one elevator for the whole hotel which seemed to be working overtime and made some sketchy sounds at times !! Also there are a few dark areas of the parking lot that made me feel uneasy with a late check in.

The breakfast was as expected. The variety was good. Hot foods were hot and cold foods were cold. Coffee is in the lobby and I knew that, yet early in the morning I didn’t recall. I had to ask where’s the coffee?
The initial room I was assigned on the first floor had a bad odor. It may have been mildew, but I’m not sure. I just knew I wasn’t going to be able to sleep in there, so I asked for a room change and the lady at the desk was so nice and kind to me. The room I had on the 3rd floor was perfect and I had a good night’s sleep.

I opted for price over comfort for this visit as we were going to be staying only one night and arriving late and leaving early. We were pleasantly surprised - big bed, fluffy towels, good shower, very clean, good breakfast including boiled eggs and fruit. Lovely friendly lady on the front desk. Popcorn and cookies available on arrival
Shame to see individual toiletries and plastic cutlery with every spoon and knife individually wrapped in plastic

We were in Gainesville for a quick trip. Ended up needing to stay a night. I found this hotel and when we got there it was very comfortable and smelled very good. The desk clerk was very nice. Our room was very comfortable and huge! My daughter and I went to take advantage of the swimming pool and enjoyed ourselves. The king-size bed was huge. Breakfast was really good too! Also, when my daughter (5 yrs old) got sick from the free popcorn they had (she said it was too spicy for her and it didn't agree with her little tummy) the desk clerk was concerned about her and gave us extra towels because we had gone thru them quickly.
Everything was great. We didn't want to leave lol

I absolutely loved my stay here! The staff is excellent and the property was very clean and neat. Our room was wonderful and The pool area was beautiful! They have popcorn, cookies and coffee available in the lobby all day and breakfast in the morning. There was soooo much to choose from for breakfast! And the food was absolutely delicious! I will definitely be staying here again.
There wasn’t anything I didn’t love about this property. Everything was absolutely perfect.

Good breakfast. Clean sheets 😀 ! Desk staff very nice and friendly.
Coffee not good, strong and bitter. No real mugs to use at breakfast, which further impacts the bad taste of beverages. Tea bags were old/stale/very little flavor. No ice available. No spare toilet tissue. No Kleenex.

Room was nice and clean. Breakfast was good.
I arrived at 4:00 PM, room was not ready, I waited for 30 minutes, and I went back to the front desk to ask, room still not ready. Then, she offered another room that was ready at 4:00, but she wait 30 minutes to do it. Not happy.

The staff were very kind and assisted us in a quick manor. We had a special needs baby with us and they were able to get us into the room quickly. The rooms were clean and had everything we needed. We felt safe seeing that we were fleeing a hurricane, Thank you!

The breakfast was good and big variety.
The gal who oversaw Breakfast, a Latina gal was not at all friendly and was very short with responses. She kept the food pretty well stocked but was not at all warm to the guests. Looks like she hates her job. Maybe just a couple of bad days?
