Very Disappointed
I requested an ADA room and when I arrived I was told it was booked. I was put in a standard room with a bathroom doorway so small my wheechaur would not fit through. So for the entirety if my I could not use the toilet shower, wash my hands etc

2/10 Poor

Not the best
The room was very old. The shower was absolutely disgusting. It was basically clean but so old that it looked dirty. The bedsheets were the same. The street noise was so bad that we could barely sleep. We came up for a football game so that contributed to the noise and the price went up significantly. I learned that normally the hotel is much less per night when there are no football games. In that case, then you are getting what you pay for and it is worth it. The check-in process was easy and the manager seemed nice.

Came to Gainesville for a football game. We just needed a place to sleep. We were pleasantly surprised with our room. Way out did our expectations. Great location walking distance to to stadium and great restaurants. Room was very clean! No issues at all. Will be our place to stay for future visits to Gainesville

Yes it is dated and it is a motel. But it is in a great location, you can park your car outside your room, check in service was excellent and it is very clean. Easy walk to restaurants and cool cocktail bars. Value for money..save your money for the excellent dining within 8 minute walk!

It’s a little “Schitts Creek-ish”, clean & safe, but dark/dated furnishing/decor. With the new SantaFe facility opening, I imagine the neighborhood will improve. walked to great restaurants , but not alone nor after dark. Soon this place will be updated & twice the room rate.

This place was pretty run down. Other people were putting on great ratings and those were the main reason for booking here. The AC unit was extremely noisy, the toilet seat lid broke, and the shower curtain rod fell off. The bed was ok and there weren't any bugs. It wasn't worth the $120 a night they were charging.
