“One of the best Country Inn and Suites”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 1, 2013 via mobile

My wife and I have stayed at many CI and S. This one of the best by far. The Queen suites are large and quiet despite being close to the highway. There are restaurants close. The breakfast was also very good
My only negative is that they do allow smoking in some rooms. I do not appreciate walking out of my room to the odor of cigarette smoke.

Thank you so much for your positive comments. I'm glad you liked the room and enjoyed the breakfast. I hope you will visit our hotel again. I'm sorry you were bothered by the smell from the smoking rooms. When you make your next reservation, please comment that you wish to be away from any smoking rooms, that way we can be sure to assign you a room on a lower floor as our smoking rooms are all on the 6th floor. Again my apologies for that inconvenience.

“Nice friendly hotel!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

We were in town just for the night. Did not spend much time in the room. Check in was fast and the girls at the desk were very nice. The room was clean. I like the convenience of the mini fridge and microwave. The room was on the smaller side, but big enough to have 2 queens. You could tell they have updated things like the TV and counters in the bathroom, but there was room for more enhancements - like the big heavy yellow comforter on the bed and the wallpaper in the bathroom. The beds were comfortable, but the pillows were small and too soft for my liking. The air was cold and the shower hot with good water pressure. The kids (a whole soccer team) loved the indoor pool and hot tub. We woke up late, so did not participate in the free breakfast. This hotel is conviently located off I-75 and Archer Road. There are a ton of restaurants and shopping in the area.

We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your time at our hotel. We are constantly renovating and to be honest, the wallpaper in the bathrooms is on our list. It's great to hear how much the kids liked the pool. We are the only hotel in Gainesville with an indoor heated pool. We hope to see you and your family again soon.
Your comments are greatly appreciated, thank you for your response.

“Its' okay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

This place is right off the e-way. It's a little worn around the edges. One thing to watch is if you go on their website to make a reservation. If you switch off the page and then come back to finish your reservation make sure you recheck the dates you plan on reserving. A day before we left for our trip, we received a letter saying we missed our reservation. The letter stated the reservation was for the date we went into the website to make the reservation, not the date we wanted to stay at the hotel. Upon calling, the manager gave us a hard time when we tried to explain what happened. We called as soon as we noticed the reservation was in error, but did not have the person's name that told us not to worry, nothing was showing up on their system. The manager acted like if we didn't know the name of her employee, to check our story out with her, there was nothing she could do. I guess Patty never heard of the customer is always right. We asked if she was going to work with us on this or not. Her reply. "This sounds like a threat." WHAT? She finally comped us the room for the night reserved in question. If not for that, would not have stayed there. And in the future will not.

“Great Room. Really Nice Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

We got a one bedroom suite as my wife and I were visiting the University of Florida with our 16 year old daughter. It was perfect as my wife and I had a separate bedroom and our daughter had the sofa sleeper. Fridge and microwave in the room. Check in was easy and the lobby had a fireplace with a Christmas tree. There is a cracker barrel right next door. It's right off I-75.
