A dusty gem that could be better.
Property is old but seems to be maintained. Front desk person was friendly.
Room seemed clean but lacked something. Hard to put my finger on it. Bed sheets were old, scratchy and there was no comforter. AC was noisy but worked well. For the money it was worth it.

Easy overnight stay
It was a great stay; the room had been freshly painted on the inside and had new flooring. The bed was clean and comfy. The quiet room was small but efficient for an overnight or weekend stay. Check-in/out was easy. The banner outside states new management; I think there will likely be outdoor makeovers to match the rooms.

A Great Escape from Hurricane Milton

I’m happy new management took over. This place used to be a pit. The room we stayed in was clean and newer and once they clean up the outside it will be fine for a football weekend.

I stayed here one year ago and it was fine, just the basics, but it was just recently purchased by new ownership. They have remodeled all the rooms and it’s night and day, new plumbing/furniture/bedding etc. Great location, very friendly and family owned establishment, and though not fancy it provides all you need for a nice weekend in Gainesville.

Ok for the game
It’s was ok one mattress had springs popping and coming out when you rolled over. A blow dryer would have been a nice add on and only 2 pillows per bed no where to hang any clothes

There was plenty to like about the property. The property is under new management and the nice remodeling of the room was appreciated. Understandably, remodeling takes time. For instance, one bed was fine in our room and the other was old, creaky, and lumpy. It would be nice to see vending machines in the lobby. The ice machine worked nicely and was appreciated.
