    generous parking space, free shuttle services, high-speed internet access

    The wallpaper in the hallways is peeling off!!! The hallways smell of mold, and the air conditioning takes too long to cool!!! The outdated bathroom fixtures could use an upgrade!!!

    complimentary breakfast
    noisy air conditioning

    The location was convenient but the air conditioning

    in my room was surprisingly noisy, which affected my sleep. Despite this, the room was clean and the complimentary breakfast had a good variety that I enjoyed each morning.

    spacious suite
    proximity to stadium
    decent breakfast
    noisy air conditioning

    I had a great time with my friends! The king suite was spacious, and we loved the proximity to the stadium for a Florida Gators game. The breakfast was decent, especially the waffles. Just be prepared for a basic vibe and a busy location.

    The air conditioning in our room was really noisy, which affected our sleep a bit.

    loose bathroom tile

    Delightfully comfy room with just the right touches, and the location was great. The staff treated us like royalty—felt special every time I walked in!

    That bathroom tile was looser than my yoga pants after a buffet.

    popcorn cookies

    Just a fine choice for a weekend in Gainesville with definitely value for money. I loved the complimentary popcorn and cookies in the evening—they were a nice surprise! Check the traffic times before heading out to eat.

    clean room
    spacious suite
    great breakfast
    slow cooling
    uncomfortable mattress

    This was my second stay in gainesville, and this time i was really impressed with how clean and spacious the king suite was. The breakfast spread included eggs and pancakes, which were fantastic. The friendly staff made checking in a breeze, and i enjoyed the complimentary cookies in the lobby.

    the air conditioning took a while to cool.

    lobby snacks
    bath mat
    outdated room
    damp smell

    I had a pleasant experience during my stay. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I enjoyed the snacks in the lobby, especially the fresh-baked cookies. They even had a bath mat for the tub, which made my bathroom experience safer. It was refreshing to have comfortable accommodations during a challenging trip. The close proximity to shopping and dining options was very convenient.

    The room seemed outdated and had a damp smell, which made it less inviting. I noticed that the air conditioning took time to cool the space, impacting comfort somewhat.

    The staff is friendly and helpful, really nice during check-in. The room smelled damp and took a bit to cool down. The breakfast had decent options, especially the waffles. You also get snacks like cookies in the lobby. A bit noisy from the nearby interstate traffic at night.

    comfy room
    great breakfast
    soft pillows

    My family had a fantastic stay with a comfy room and a lovely pool that the kids adored! We enjoyed relaxing by the outdoor swimming pool after indulging in the great breakfast spread. Just a minor note—the pillows could’ve been a bit firmer, but it didn’t really take away from our great experience! 😊

    Warm & cozy stay!

    My mom and I were going through a rough patch, and the staff was super nice. They greeted us with cookies and cold water, which was perfect after a long day. The breakfast was delicious, especially the grits from the morning gal. Just wish the parking lot had better lighting. felt a bit sketchy at night.
