We would have had no issues staying longer. Clean room and bath, small fridge, coffee and room to relax after a 16 hour car ride.

They regularly checked on our needs and offered help. Even though the hotel is in a construction process, everything is very clean. I would recommend this place to anyone who needs accommodation in the Gainesville area. ##### Maria Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mark Jul 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The staff was very professional and friendly.

This is an ideal location, within walking distance of campus and the downtown. The hotel is under renovation and we stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms and it was very nice. Breakfast was great and it was made to order and not a buffet. There is also an Italian restaurant attached to the hotel. We would stay here again if we were back in Gainesville. ##### Jodi Stayed 3 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### David Aug 4, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Its location is very good ##### David Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Francisco Jan 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great stay Great catch for a quick trip; currently under renovations so no wifi during my stay but i didn’t need it.
