“We really enjoyed our stay.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 19, 2010

We really enjoyed our stay, it was relaxing and quiet. No loud parties. It was quiet and comfortable. We stayed in the queen bed room. We found the room to be very clean and the motel staff very friendly and helpful.

Would probably stay there again.

“Great value!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 28, 2010

We had an emergency visit to Gainesville to take care of a relative (student at UF) that had surgery. We found the lodging to be clean and safe. When we had a problem, it was attended to right away. The staff could not have been any nicer. The value for your money is outstanding. I would recommend a stay there to anyone.

“This hotel was the pits!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2009

The bed was hard as a rock, the pillows here just as bad. We had a empty box of Klennix in the room, which I left out in hopes they would take the hint and leave a box. No way. Then the hand towel that was dirtied was not replaced when the room was made up.

When taking a shower the handle came off in my hand.

Complimentary breakfast.. HA! Very little choice of anything to eat. According to hotel details says there was a coffee maker as one of the room amenities...if there was one I wonder where it was? I sure didn't see it.

Had booked a room with a King sized bed, ended up in a queen.

Would definitely not recommend this hotel to anyone!

“Terrible hotel”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 10, 2009

This hotel was awful. The beds were hard and the pillows were thin and flat. There were no electrical outlets near the desk for the computer. If you unplugged the microwave, the refrigerator didn't work. Everything was old and had a funny smell. The room was small. The price was really high for a hotel of this quality. The front desk was unmanned most of the time.
