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.

Dirty bedding
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!
