AC not the best at that time.

Good

The breakfast and the service was good. The only thing was the air didn’t get as cold as I wanted.
-
Good hotel. Newly renovated so it was nice and clean. I enjoyed my stay.
-
The room and property are well maintained. My wife and I took our 10 year old to his first Gators game and the location was perfect. We would recommend it to anyone and will definitely be staying here again. Go Gators!

Very nice and convenient to the campus.

Had 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.

Stayed for the Gator game. Staff was great. Minus on how expensive it was it was good place to stay right in the mix.

The location is perfect. Very easy to get around. Your front desk personnel was very helpful and friendly. I had a hard time with the tv. You can’t see what’s on the channels.
