First impression was not the greatest with the pool next to the parking lot and at the front street side... but the wonderfully helpful and friendly staff, as well as the location (location, location!) of this hotel made it a wonderful choice and stay. If you are going to the Boot Barn Hall or Main Street Gainesville, GA - they are a very short/easy walk... and you'll also find a wonderful bar/restaurant between - right next door. We did not make it down for the included breakfast - but upon arriving late, were accommodated with yogurt and fruit and smiles and pleasantries - making us feel appreciated and not late at all! We were also easily able to request a late check out.
