We stayed in a jacuzzi suite (room 204) and the bed was very uncomfortable. We are both sore from one night sleeping on it. We are not extremely picky about mattresses but this one is too firm for most people I would think. Otherwise the hotel was clean, the people were courteous and the breakfast was good, but due to...

Nice bright lobby. Clean rooms. Good breakfast. Located right off interstate. I'm a non smoker so it was a plus to me when I walked through the hallway without smelling smoke. We requested to be far away from smoking levels do we were put on 2nd floor.

Sadly, this property used to be among the best and most consistent hotels in Gainesville. However, the management has recently changed direction on their view of guests. During my last and final stay, I was dissatisfied with my reservation, so I brought it to the attention of the front desk receptionist after check-in. She agreed to my request. However, after...

This hotel was perfectly situated just off I-75 in Gainesville. The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and the breakfast was very nice. We used this hotel as an overnight stay between Atlanta, GA and Miami. There is a Cracker Barrel just behind the hotel. No need to drive.

We stayed here for 2 nights recently and had a pleasant stay. Rooms were clean and nice. Customer service at the desk was very good. The breakfast was average, and a bit of a madhouse.

This hotel provided everything I was looking for - very clean (from outside landscaping, to lobby, elevators, pool and room), very comfortable, and staffed by personable/helpful front desk employees. The complimentary breakfast is well-stocked and more than one employee was working the breakfast room each morning while I was there - at times they helped bus tables (even though it's... More

Hotel has a cozy country inn feel. Usually stay Marriott so this was a nice surprise. The room was nice but candy wrappers from past guest were left on the floor.
