Didn't expect much from a budget hotel, but the staff made all the difference. Upon check in, Barbara was incredibly helpful and kind; we were there because power was out for Helene. The popcorn and cookies were niceties that I find in more expensive hotels. The breakfast changed daily; it was nice to have some variety to go with the eggs and breads. Power wasn't back yet and Mark was most helpful in securing a third night for us. The owner, GM or whoever is in charge of hiring has done an exceptional job; right down to housekeeping...no small feat in today's job market. My thanks to Barbara and Mark for making our experience a positive one during a difficult time.

Smallish TV, but was fine and no furniture at pool.

We were evacuated due to Hurricane Helene. The staff tried running my card when I opted to pay at Business. The rooms were clean and spacious. Breakfast was good. I think it would be better if an attendant served food . The staff was helpful and attentive. Overall it was a pleasant stay.

They said the first floor was reserved for pet's , there were pet's on each floor. Gym was small and unkept. They were very nicely

Convenient location. Clean. Free breakfast was great with lots of options. Free popcorn and cookies in the evenings were a big hit with the grandkids. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. Very affordable with discounts and shuttle service available for guests staying due to UF Health Shands Hospital.

Honestly, I cannot think of anything negative to say about the property.

Our hotel stay was wonderful. The hotel building itself is average but the staff are the star of the show. They each go above and beyond to turn what would of been a basic hotel stay into a memorable experience. If we end up back in Gainesville this will be our go to spot every time simply because of the exceptional customer service!

I was right around the corner from my daughter, which was a plus. It was soooo comfortable, I slept like a baby. I wanted peace and total quiet and a hot cup of tea after an awesome "really hot" shower. It was perfect! Thank you!

There was no one around to massage my feet! Lol

The hot breakfast was tasty and seating was adequate. The kitchen staff checked regularly to make sure food was replenished as needed.

The outdoor pool looks like it could use some tlc, but it was decent for a quick dip to cool off after a long day.

Good size rooms, clean and comfortable. Wonderful staff. Great location close to shopping centers.

Mattress and pillows are a bit too soft. More beverage selections for breakfast would be nice.

The breakfast was surprisingly amazing! Although the breakfast area was relatively small, there was variety in the items offered and every member of the family was satisfied!

I guess the property needs some work and the room carpet needs to be cleaned.

Breakfast was great, we eat Gluten free and there was enough to have a great breakfast. Would have liked it to start at 6:00 in stead of 6:30 but It worked out for meeting friends in the morning early.

It was clean and comfortable. Enjoyed our stay again. We are visiting with my brother in law in the Malcom Randall VA Hospital. When I told them why we were there, they said our next booking with them directly be eligible for 20% hospital discount. The staff was excellent!!! The room was clean and comfortable. We will definitely be staying here again.
