- RHReggie Hubbard4 days ago5.0I booked from a 3rd party about an 35 minutes before arriving at the hotel. The booking took some time to show up but they were very nice in looking into the issue and trying to figure out what to do. This is a good hotel in a great location. It’s about a 1.5 miles from the stadium. It took about 30 mins to walk there.
- EAErica `ArYKaNov 5, 20255.0Great service, pleasant atmosphere, quaint pool & great breakfast! Awesome location for visiting Gainesville it's in the heart of the City. Walking distance to the museum and largest in town park.
- JMjason molidorOct 31, 20255.0Came here for The Fest. It was an incredible stay! The staff was super friendly and terrific the cleaners were nice and super attentive. I wish i could give extra stars because i know The Fest is a non-typical crowd. Alas i forgot to take photos of room/lobby etc. breakfast was good, and hot. Only comment is that for the Fest crowd there is definitely a large number of vegetarians and vegans. Don’t put pork products in the eggs (happened with western omelets) and maybe think about a plant based protein. (No biggie really just a though).
- RRRichard RegnierOct 28, 20251.0Checked on after 4:00 and staff was in the room they gave us. Multiple (three) employees proceeded to walk into our room during the evening. 0/10.
- ACAlyssa CiaccioOct 25, 20255.0Rooms are super comfy and have many amenities like full size bottles of shampoo, conditioner, body wash. Front desk was very friendly and helpful. We got rooms for FEST, so it was really nice to be in the center of downtown Gainesville.
