Positive Reviews
positive:
Quiet and convenient Gainesville location
Thanks in part to downtown Gainesville being a short ten-minute drive away, the location of the hotel was a highlight for most previous guests. In addition, the property is close to stores and dining options, whilst it was also noted as being in a quiet area.
positive:
Welcoming and courteous staff
Recent guests were usually happy when it came to their interactions with the accommodation's personnel. Typically, the staff members were summarised as courteous and friendly.
positive:
Pool a nice bonus
With little else in the way of recreational facilities, the hotel's outdoor swimming pool was a welcome bonus in that regard. For past guests that used it, the seasonal pool has been judged as an enjoyable place to unwind for the most part.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Damaged and dated rooms
Previous visitors were often left seriously dissatisfied about the general condition of the rooms supplied by the accommodation. As well as being outdated with old amenities, the rooms were also described as displaying noticeable signs of wear and tear.
negative:
Unacceptable hygiene standards
When it came to the hygiene levels of the rooms, this aspect of the hotel was regularly criticised by former guests. From a supposed lack of attention with the daily housekeeping to dirty bathrooms, various cleanliness-related concerns have been reported.
negative:
Breakfast not served
Although it was something that was apparently available previously, the accommodation does not currently offer a breakfast option - something that was an understandable grievance at times for past visitors. Furthermore, this was seen as falling in line with the overly basic nature of the property.
