“Very Good!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2013

First time staying here...wish we had discovered it years ago. Best hospitality in Gainesville, by far. Comfortable rooms, clean and tidy environment throughout. Large common areas with HDTV's and plenty of comfortable seating, it's a very homelike atmosphere. Staff was friendly, polite and helpful at every turn. Good complimentary breakfast with a variety of offerings including hot items. The pool... More

“Relaxing place to stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 May 2013

My wife, I, sister & brother-in-law spent the night at the Lodge in January. We found it so pleasant that we re-booked it for a 3-day convention in May. The beds are very confortable and we managed to sleep soundly. Easy access from I-75. A great place to stay.

“No Hot Water”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

The staff was pleasant, but the hotel itself needs a face lift and a thorough cleaning. The room was quiet and the bed comfortable enough, however, there were absolutely no amenities except a bar of soap. What finally put me off was after my long, 15 hour day at the hospital taking care of a relative, all I wanted was... More

“Good vibe”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 May 2013

I requested and received a first floor room. Although the first floor lounge was very, very busy, there were no noise problems from either the outside or the inside. The front desk staff was very helpful. I needed a new box of tissue, for example, and they made sure it was delivered. Wi-fi signal was very weak, but it was... More

“Terrific Lodging”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2013

We used a coupon to stay here. Real nice place. The lobby is like a ski lodge, with TV's and Fireplaces throughout the lobby area. They have a complimentary "happy hour" that is nice. Rooms are clean and efficient. I would stay here again.

“Neat Lobby, Free Drink, Smelly room”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2013

This hotel was recommended by a friend. The lobby is jungle like and great to sit and talk, eat your breakfast or have free wine and snack in evening. That is what attracted her. However, as I was heading home after a week long trip, I only really wanted a quiet room and sleep. The room had a slightly musty... More
