- EGElizabeth Gordon2 days ago1.0Had to cancel last minute due to a sudden death and Angela the manager is completely heartless. I understand there are policies in place and game day weekends are the foundation of Gainesville, but missing out on one room on a game day weekend (that could easily be rebooked by someone else) isn't the end of the world. I tried to change for another weekend at any point in time, but they could care less.
- DWDaniel Walls5 days ago4.0We first arrived our room had a smell i didn't want to fuss I am not that person but I did speak with Brittany & she made our stay so much better she moved us to another room & it smelled better Only request i would suggest is spending the money & replace all window units ac units i had thought the whole complex had been redone. Brittany is a all-star super sweet lady
- SYS Y5 days ago5.0I really enjoyed staying at this hotel located right next to UF! My family had a great time enjoying the swimming pool, which ranges from 3 to 8 feet deep, as well as the ping-pong table and cornhole. A special thank you to Brittany at the front desk, who made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable. She was so kind and welcoming! We also loved the made-to-order breakfast. The server was incredibly kind and friendly as well. (Sorry, I forgot to ask her name! 😅) I hope this review can be a little encouragement to all the staff who work so hard to make their guests’ stays more comfortable and enjoyable. Thank you for making our stay such a pleasant one! 😊
- JEJason Eisenberg6 days ago4.0It may just be the room we were in but it was very hot. It was also thw loudest room I have ever stayed in. The elevator makes really loud, mechanical noises. We could here it in our room all day, night and through the wee hours of the morning. The location is great. If you do stay here, make sure your room is far away from the elevator.
