I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with its convenient location near many fun Gainesville activities and being close to everything in a basic but slightly boring college town area next to a hospital. The rooms were cozy with snacks available for purchase and had very comfortable beds, but I had to wait for service as no manager was initially available. The hotel had included homemade dishes for dining, which was a nice touch, although not the most luxurious experience. Overall, a decent value for money with some room for improvement.
