Unfortunately, I didn’t take any pictures, but the bedsheets and the beds were super super comfortable. The AC was cranking and it was nice and cold. The TV worked perfectly. And they served a good breakfast. We would definitely come back and stay at this hotel if we return back to Gainesville.

Staff were friendly. Easy check in experience. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet. Air conditioning works excellent! Plenty of channels to watch on the tv. Plenty of usb and outlets next to the bed to charge phones, ect…. Only negative which really isn’t is the water pressure in the shower, but we have excellent water pressure in our shower at home that most places wouldn’t have.

Enjoyed my stay very much. The hotel was in a great location. Walking distance from shopping centers, restaurants and convenient stores when you walk in you receive a warm greeting quick and easy check-in plus they offer coffee all day popcorn cookies for the children. My hotel room was very clean. The air-conditioning worked very well I would recommend this location.

Just ok

The hotel is in need of upgrades. The carpet was old in the room. It seems the ac system was replaced, but the old thermostat remains on the wall. The mirror looked old and needed to be replaced. The room was clean, but it didn’t entirely meet my expectations.

Great friendly staff. Owner needs to invest money and fix rooms properly. Ours had drywall mud plastered in the bathroom. No effort to get is sanded down, just painted over. Very shady work. Need to keep up with maintenance if you want to be competitive
