  Beds are good, but too high. No hand soap, just bottles on wall. Ugh Bathroom and carpet have wear. Right on I-35. No complementary water on check in.

  Water smells, room air conditioning doesn't work, hotel smells. Definitely avoid this hotel and find another nearby.

  HONEST REVIEW!! I PROMISE! This was a work trip. Didn’t know how long I needed to stay so I called and spoke to Jonathan who was super helpful through my whole stay and answered all my questions. The hotel is nice. No issues. I stayed on the 2nd floor. Yes, the hallway is warm for some reason but I’m not staying in the hallway so, not a big deal. THE ROOM: the room is nice. Has some minor “dated” tvs and a blue wall for some reason but again. Not a big deal. The room was cold and I was able to adjust the room temp using the thermostat normally. The lamp by the bed has 2 power outlets on it and one of them looked like it had glue coming out behind it. Quick fix maybe? But the outlet worked and honestly. This won’t start a fire so no need to freak out NOT A BIG DEAL. The restroom was nice. And updated actually. My water was hot when I showered and all soaps and shampoos and conditioners were full. No complaints there. BREAKFAST: The breakfast was good. The coffee is actually really good. Wish it dispensed more but I think that’s just how the machine works. Idk why people on here are saying the breakfast is bland. It’s not. I went to Rib crib, McDonald’s, and Panda Express during my stay here and those places were all crap. I would take the hotel breakfast over that any day. So far. The hotel breakfast was the best food I had since I’ve been in Gainesville IM BEING COMPLETELY SERIOUS. I gave this hotel a 4 star because though my room was fine and had very very minor issues, the hotel as a whole could do well with a little bit of a face lift. Like starting with replacing the 2nd floor button on the elevator that has a crack on it. Again, super minor but it would make the hotel seem more taken care of. CONCLUSION Would I stay here again? Yes Would I recommend this hotel to someone? I would but I would tell them to don’t be so crucial on the small things. The Hotel does its job. They provide good customer service, a tasteful breakfast with good coffee, a hot shower with clean bed and sheets with no bed bugs. What more do you want from a hotel? Book a room and quit being so crucial on the small things.
