I wouldn't listen to the negative comments. My daughter and I stay every year for 4-5 nights and was never let down. Yes there was a time when they did not have their flag, but that was due to not having a restaurant in the hotel. The breakfast was complimentary and they had a decent selection. They offered hot biscuits,... more

Family of four stayed at this hotel. Not all that bad and dirty as other reviews may have you think. Staff was friendly and room was modest but clean. Would stay here again; very close to the University. more

This hotel was a disappointment to me. I booked it because they told me that they were the closest hotel to UF and I guess they are since the UF sign is across the street. However, when I booked my stay I asked about it being close to the O'Connell Center (the O-Dome). They told me it was like a... more

I checked into the hotel and heard one of the front desk employees give another guest the password to use the internet. When I was finished checking in I asked about getting the password and she informed me that the internet was not working, but someone would be fixing it that afternoon. I was bummed because the last hotel I... more

I have stayed at this property in the past and let me say...NICE JOB!!!!!! I have noticed a huge difference besides the renovations that were completed last year. The rooms are much CLEANER, the front desk is alot FRIENDLIER. I do not know what happened at this property but it is working. This hotel has earned back my business. more

This hotel was suggested by relatives who live nearby, who unfortunately chose the hotel for proximity and not for cleanliness, safety, or comfort. The furniture was dirty with sticky drink spills on the nightstand and desk. The bathtub was chipped and stained and complete with a black film. It was a non-smoking room that had cigarette stains on the bathroom... more

I stay here on a monthly basis, only because of the location. I must attend the University and the proximity is worth the hassle, but barely. Nobody should ever stay here if they even have a mild concern for their well being. Since I started staying here in August of last year, I have never stayed here when the experience... more

My wife and I frequently stay at this location, since they offer a nice rate for medical center patients. This was probably our 4th visit in the past year, and we have watched this hotel go through massive renovation. The construction apology signs were still up last week, but the work appears to be nearly complete. The lobby is nice... more

I stayed here for two nights for the Florida/South Carolina football weekend. The best thing about this hotel is the location. It is pretty much the only hotel in Gainesville that is walkable to the campus and football stadium. Unfortunately, that is the only good aspect. I'll start with the bad, and then highlight the (hopefully good) things that are... more
