Far better than I would have expected a 2-star hotel to be. Very clean, very comfortable and even the breakfast was better than expected. Not a bad choice in Gainesville.
This is an older hotel that is still in good repair, the front desk staff have all been considerate and helpful. A great place to stay if you are driving through or coming to Gainesville.

Good location, good service, good breakfast and clean. Just needs a little updating!
Dirty! The sheets had blood stains on them and a pillow had snot on it. We were moved to another room because the front desk man said he had no help working to get us new sheets. The new room also had blood stains on the comforter. Disappointing stay!
It was s straight shot from hotel to shands cancer hospital.
They had an excellent free breakfast in the morning. The staff were extremely helpful and friendyl

Good for a quick overnight, but wouldn’t stay agai
Came to Gainesville for a tour of UF. Don’t think I’d stay here again… when we got off the elevator, the area was being used as storage for sofa beds - they were stacked up along a wall. Our room was very humid even with the A/C on. I find that the coffee maker and ice bucket being located IN the bathroom where the toilet is, is rather unsanitary. There was a hair stuck to the wall outside the shower and a used bath towel hanging in our closet.
Having stayed here a couple times, I like the location, the property and staff I've encountered. The breakfast plus pop corn and cookies in the lobby are a nice touch.
