“Neglect all those negative reviews.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

Believe me, I don't understand why so much negativity. I have a 4 day stay at this motel..and services provided was more then satisfactory. My stay was comfortable, staff was co-operative and for this price range it couldn't any better. I highly recommend it for all those who are looking for a cheaper alternative.Also I must add this is close to all major food chains like Dominos,steaks and mcd.

Room Tip: Take the rooms on ground floor.

“DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 3, 2012

Cheap terrible place to stay! Nasty!!There was a hole in the shower where the soapdish had been and the only covering was a tile propped up against it, cigarette burns ALL over the place, stained sheets, thread bare towels, hair all over the bathroom, cable didn't even work properly, smelled of urine. I even came home with pink eye and I've never had pink eye in my life. I know it was a football weekend but $100 a night for a room in that rathole was insane - once I checked in if I'd wanted to leave I would've been out the money - If I can give anyone any type of advice it is to AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE !!!

Room Tip: Try AIRBNB.COM and stay in someone's home!

“Close but gross.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed September 18, 2011 via mobile

There was a blood stain on my sheets. When we arrived there were several lengths of hair in the unwashed bathtub - including the short, coarse and curly variety. There is no fridge. The front desk service was nice and the walk to campus for the game was easy and doable.

“If Satan had a motel........”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 18, 2006

Stayed at the ABC Motel the weekend of the Florida/South Carolina game, when I checked in I knew it had been a mistake. There was a hole in the shower where the soapdish had been and the only covering was a tile propped up against it, cigarette burns ALL over the place, stained sheets, thread bare towels, hair all over the bathroom, cable didn't even work properly, smelled of urine. I even came home with pink eye and I've never had pink eye in my life. I know it was a football weekend but $100 a night for a room in that rathole was insane - once I checked in if I'd wanted to leave I would've been out the money - If I can give anyone any type of advice it is to AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE !!! Sleep in your car after the game and save yourself the money.

“Motel ABC was above average!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 22, 2004

I stayed at the ABC in Oct. of 04, it wasn't half as bad as I thought it was going to be, the rooms were clean, the clerks were very helpful and nice, and the most important part was the price, for the price, it was definately worth it. I give the ABC a thumbs up, I had a great time in Gainesville, GO GATORS!!!
