This is one of the nicest hotels to stay at in Gainesville and we enjoyed it. The hotel is quiet, clean, and friendly. The breakfast was beyond delicious. My husband and I ordered the cinnamon roll and the avocado toast and they were soooo good! The hotel has l'occitane brand creams, soaps, shampoos and conditioners and that was super luxe. They even have a sound machine in the room.

I travel regularly in the USA and Internationally. I cannot think of another receptionist as engaging and polite as the one here. Who ever hired her should know that she is extraordinary. Everyone who meets her already knows.

Every time we go to Gainesville, which is a lot, we really like to stay here because it is so clean. It’s walkable to my daughter‘s sorority house and the main areas are very clean as well. The staff is friendly and the valet is also very friendly. This is one of the cleanest hotels I’ve stayed at, and I have stayed at a lot of of them! I highly recommend this hotel
