Conveniently located just off the I 75 in a small safe business park. Lots of on site parking , gym pool etc but not much choice of places to eat if you didn’t want to use the on site restaurant. Breakfast was ok with good choice

This place was pretty decent. The room was spacious but it was a little outdated (old appliances). It was ok for one night that we were passing by. It had a pool and jacuzzi. The best part was the breakfast which had an omelette station. It was a decent stay.

Place was just average. Nothing bad to say, but nothing great either. For the price, seemed a bit overpriced. BUT! We were very happy to have a place to rest on a long trip we were taking with a pet. I’d stay here again if I needed to, but wish it were cleaner.

The lobby is nice and gives a good first impression. However, the rooms are in serious need of updating. The bathroom is very outdated, the carpet is filthy, and the AC unit is old and noisy. Overall, the room didn’t feel very clean. I was disappointed, especially since this is considered a grand hotel. That said, the lower price point now makes sense.

Inconsistent Service

I’ve stayed at this hotel many times over the last year-and-a-half when I come to Gainesville. The hotel is convenient for my personal purposes. Primarily, I like this hotel for its location, pool/hot tub and it’s breakfast bar. The rooms are in need of modernization and that requirement has not changed in the time period of my visits. Recently, I have noticed a trend during my visits. When there is an event scheduled at the hotel, which seems to happen on many weekends, their other services suffer. This past weekend was Mother’s Day. The breakfast bar on Sunday was not only sub-standard, it was horrendous. There was no omelette bar and there was no service attendant caring for the available stations. The hot food stations were in disarray and the food was cold. This is very disappointing. On the other two days of my visit to breakfast bar was available and there were attendance present in the breakfast area.
