If you just want a place to sleep, this place is for you. Room was small. Not enough towels. Needed to wash the bedspread. Room really needed a remodel. Hotel staff was friendly the little I had to interface with them.
Positives: Close to University of Florida.
Negatives: Room seemed like a closet, an afterthought.

My wife and I visited Gainesville for the Florida Gators football game. We only needed the hotel to sleep in. We got our money's worth. It is a family run place and the staff was friendly and attentive to our needs. It's not a resort hotel but if you just need a place to sleep and shower, it will fit your needs. I felt we got our moneys worth.
Positives: The staff was very friendly and attentive.
Negatives: It is kind of run down.

Staff was not friendly, was a hassle to get an extra towel. Hotel was not worth the money. Location is not convenient to University, there are better ones much closer. Room was stuffy and not that clean. Blown light bulb never replaced as requested(was in town 3 days) . Would not recommend this to anyone and will not stay there again on next visit.
Positives: Key provided phone number for 24 hour Pizza place.
Negatives: Room was not clean or up-to-date: blown bulbs, etc.

The hotel was rundown and in disrepair. I was put in a smoking room when I asked for a non-smoking. However, even the more upscale hotels in Gainesville are quite rundown. The hotel met my expectations. I had a comfortable bed and a great shower.
Positives: I loved the shower.
Negatives: Only half of the lights in the room were plugged in due to only one outlet.
