This is my second stay, two weekends in a row. Rm 107 had multiple cosmetic issues. We outlined tjose on TRIP ADVIDOR, go see my review (badic room). This time I got a PREMIUM ROOM, #233, and there were very fee isdues, clean, cute little snack box, but not worth $20 extra or so; the windows were dirty looking out from hotel. Its a basic, decent hotel. No frills. No hot tub. But nice size pool, clean. The hallways are basuc, 1st floor feels beat up more than higher floors. Easy check-in. Long lines at tines. Fresh coffee in AN, aroubd 6 am for a few hours, but no coffee or refreshments all day like major chains, but you pay for it. $50 to $90/per night is not $159 per nighy. Expect basic, clean hotel. Go PREMIUM room if you want nuce bedfing but honestly. The bed in #107, basic room, was more comfortable, than bed in 233 premium. So, 233 looked better but 107 slept better!!! They dont take CHIME, APPLEPAY; no prepaid cards! Big sign at dedk. But major credits cards are OK, must have your name on card.

Bad hotel that needs a major overhaul!

The room was nasty. Bedbugs were seen on the bed. Shower curtain was torn on top. Floor was dirty. Mattress springs were not in good condition, they sagged. The white bed sheets were dingy and I can go on and on. Here, you get what you pay for- for real. I have never stayed in an hotel like this in my entire life. But because we had an emergency and had to find a place to sleep for two nights in Gainesville, Florida while other hotels in the area were completely booked, we had no choice but to stay here. But the hotel first impressions should have given me a clue as to what the hotel rooms would look like. Another thing was that we booked the hotel online and made the reservation ahead of time on Friday morning before we checked in at 5:00 pm that same day. You will never see me and my wife again in this hotel.

Basic room, clean refreshed property. Pros, upside: hot shower, clewn grout. Laminate floors in room. Comfy bed, medium firm. Clean lobby, fresh tasty coffee only starting at 6am. Nice tv. GREAT LOCATION. Near UF, restaurants, and everything you need. Lots of hotel parking. We even ordered UBER EATS and they came right to our hotel door. Tip: order a premium room, probably better setup on HIGHER FLOORS. We had a double, 1st floor, so it was clean but a bit worn in spots but nothing overly bad. Downside: We had 107, 1st floor with blemishes that shoukd be fixed. Basic doesnt mean trashy! Ripped shower curtain at top, padding on lower wall coming undone and an old water leak in bathroom ceiling. Overall the ceiling was clean but that one in bathroom. Easy cosmetics would elevate the basic room. We will stay again, as we have to visit a few times for UF camp dropoff and pickup. Hope they get 107 fixed up!
