Good for a quick overnight, but wouldn’t stay agai
Came to Gainesville for a tour of UF. Don’t think I’d stay here again… when we got off the elevator, the area was being used as storage for sofa beds - they were stacked up along a wall. Our room was very humid even with the A/C on. I find that the coffee maker and ice bucket being located IN the bathroom where the toilet is, is rather unsanitary. There was a hair stuck to the wall outside the shower and a used bath towel hanging in our closet.

Having stayed here a couple times, I like the location, the property and staff I've encountered. The breakfast plus pop corn and cookies in the lobby are a nice touch.

Poor service and poor clenliness
The hotel is in a ggod location, within walkable distance to stores and restaurants, but it is a old hotel. The carpets were dirty and the hot water did not work at all. I moved rooms to one with cleaner carpets, but the internet connection was poor. Nobody was able to fix this. It seemed this was not their problem.

Disliked: Cleanliness
“The beds at the hotel were comfortable, and the staff at the front desk was very friendly and welcoming. However, the cleanliness of the room was disappointing. There was noticeable dust on the hairdryer in the bathroom and on top of the TV, which also appeared to have streaks, as if it had been sprayed but not wiped properly. While the exterior of the hotel looks well-maintained and inviting, the interior feels quite dated and could definitely use some remodeling. With a few improvements, this place could be much more enjoyable for guests.”
