I requested an ADA room and when I arrived I was told it was booked. I was put in a standard room with a bathroom doorway so small my wheechaur would not fit through. So for the entirety if my I could not use the toilet shower, wash my hands etc

The room was very old. The shower was absolutely disgusting. It was basically clean but so old that it looked dirty. The bedsheets were the same. The street noise was so bad that we could barely sleep. We came up for a football game so that contributed to the noise and the price went up significantly. I learned that normally the hotel is much less per night when there are no football games. In that case, then you are getting what you pay for and it is worth it. The check-in process was easy and the manager seemed nice.

Came to Gainesville for a football game. We just needed a place to sleep. We were pleasantly surprised with our room. Way out did our expectations. Great location walking distance to to stadium and great restaurants. Room was very clean! No issues at all. Will be our place to stay for future visits to Gainesville

Yes it is dated and it is a motel. But it is in a great location, you can park your car outside your room, check in service was excellent and it is very clean. Easy walk to restaurants and cool cocktail bars. Value for money..save your money for the excellent dining within 8 minute walk!

It’s a little “Schitts Creek-ish”, clean & safe, but dark/dated furnishing/decor. With the new SantaFe facility opening, I imagine the neighborhood will improve. walked to great restaurants , but not alone nor after dark. Soon this place will be updated & twice the room rate.

This place was pretty run down. Other people were putting on great ratings and those were the main reason for booking here. The AC unit was extremely noisy, the toilet seat lid broke, and the shower curtain rod fell off. The bed was ok and there weren't any bugs. It wasn't worth the $120 a night they were charging.

The rooms were fairly clean. The air conditioners in both rooms didn't operate properly. One room had a a/c remote but it was hard to regulate the temperature with it. The other room didn't have a remote. Upon checking out I mentioned it to the front desk and he said that he was aware of the issue 😳

The street it was on was extremely noisy till late, and again early in the morning. If you must stay here, ask for a room towards the back of the property, although I doubt they will fulfill your request. They have no interest in helping people or any show of customer service. One definitely gets the impression that they just want your money- warm bodies in a bed, for lack of a better term. I believe I got a bug bite there as well. I arrived at 2am, as I got delayed in Tampa and unfortunately had pre-booked the room. The night clerk would not give me a late check out, not even 11:30am. (Even Motel 6 will let you stay till 11:30am if you ask nicely). Then when I was not fully rested in the morning, I saw him again as I was leaving, and I told him that I would've appreciate a little kindness in regards to the checkout time. He told me that they were fully booked for the night to come, so no one could check out late. Of course, that was a lie, because when I talked to the maid (who was waiting to clean my room), she said it was her last one. Listen, do yourself a favor, if you can afford it, pay an extra $40-50 and stay in a proper hotel, not a "lodge" which is really just a cheap, fleabag motel. Oh and there's a massive cell tower looming above the place.

Outdated, but comfortable. Safe location. Not a lot of traffic. Walking distance for coffee and food.

This was a late last minute check in. I just needed a "nice clean bed to rest" and get a good nights sleep, then leave early the next morn. Mission accomplished. But the room otherwise, was old and dingy imo. The AC unit was loud, but didn't bother me as much. The tiny shower had hot water and was serviceable. I did NOT like that bathroom mirror, which I could swear I saw a light flash through its reflection! Wth!? So I covered it with a bath towel.. For the price, I got my rested sleep at least. One and done here!

60s motel that’s been renovated. I especially liked the heated floor in the bathroom. Room was very clean. Bed was comfortable, but could have had another pillow or 2. Empty buildings in the neighborhood, but I felt perfectly safe here. Front desk guy could be a little friendlier, but the morning housekeeping gal was as friendly and happy as a Disney character.

This used to be a TravelLodge. They’ve renovated. It is basic, clean, and I love being able to leave the car and walk to dinner. Many casual and upscale restaurants nearby. Looks like nightlife as well, but due to work hours, I couldn’t partake.

Property is located in a walking distance to downtown Gainesville. It was very quiet. We stayed for two nights and slept like babies. The staff cleaned the room on the daily basis. The room was basic, with refrigerator, microwave, WIFI and bathroom. The ice machine was outside and could get the bucket filled in a very short distance near the office. There was no coffee or breakfast over there but we could find local restaurants near by. When evaluated with overall aspects, including cost of stay, we gave this motel a thumb up. We will stay here again next year when visiting Gainesville.

Super dirty place. Location is excellent in terms of walking distance to all the night life. But this is a really dirty place. Cockroaches. The toilet is clogged. The AC is super loud. I understand this is a budget motel. But we just want standard clearness. Towel and bedsheets are old. Shower water pressure is low. This is a place for you get drunk and pass out. But it is not comfortable stay. I woild suggest the owner really do cleaning to this place.
