I stayed here one year ago and it was fine, just the basics, but it was just recently purchased by new ownership. They have remodeled all the rooms and it’s night and day, new plumbing/furniture/bedding etc. Great location, very friendly and family owned establishment, and though not fancy it provides all you need for a nice weekend in Gainesville.
Dirty filthy id like my money back. Mold in ceiling black mold and the roaches were very aggresive at night. I went to uae the restroom and stepped on roaches while doing so. Very unclean and the drains were completely clogged up. Very unhappy with stay. Had no choice being very late comming in and didnt know what i was getting into until i walked in batbroom and roaches crawled on me and wofe while sleeping . This place should be shut down .

I liked the price, but was disappointed in the service. They did not clean our room, and we had to go to the office to get towels.
Not a nice place. If any other rooms were available in the area I would have not stayed. Room smelled like cigarettes and bathrooms were badly in need of renovation.
No Coffee Maker, No Hair Dryer, refrigerator would not cool, ceiling in shower had what looked like the beginning of mold, no facial tissue, calking separating, just an old outdated facility.
Place is run done doesn’t smell clean. Water is hard to control temperature in shower have constantly adjust. TV is way to small for the. Would not recommend!
Old hotel not well maintained and probably the worse hotel on 441. Missing light fixtures and dirty walls, trim, doors. No clock and a 20inch TV was barely hanging on the wall securely.
This property was disgusting. Literal rust holes in the shower/tub. Burn holes in the curtains. Bathroom door would not shut. No hot water, let alone water pressure. Mismatched chairs at the little table. Looks like one came from an office. The cloth chair full of stains. Do not recommend this hotel ever to anyone.

You pay for what you get. I did know there would be some issues but I knew how to work around them. Cleaned the mold and wiped things down just to feel good. Bought my own towels and all for under $40 extra. Location was important for my trip and cost. No bugs of any kind so I was able to work around everything else.
The room smelt like a barn, the room was far from clean, the remote had no batteries, the tv was mounted on the wall with screws that did not fit so the TV pointed downward. If it wasn’t for all the other rooms being booked I would have walked in and walked right out.
The facility is in sever need of renovation. From the toilet to the bedding, it all needs replaced and updated. The bathroom, sink area, and all other surfaces were dirty.
