First room A/C would not work only heat. They stop breakfast 15 min early and would not replenish food multiple people asking employees and they would not supply, only thing that was available was breads and other pastries. There were some old eggs dried out no one would touch. I will plan to book elsewhere in future travel.

Stayed here twice before this visit. Enjoyed those stays, however this is an older hotel that does need some work and some refurbishment. The rooms are very large, which is nice however, the first room that we were put in smelled like mold and mildew. It was on the first floor. We brought it up and we were moved to the third floor and the room smelled much cleaner, however, had an ant and bug problem in the bathroom. The selling point to this property, which has brought us back has been the buffet breakfast in the morning, which is very good as far as hotel included breakfasts are concerned. The staff here is very accommodating and everyone is very nice. However, I think the next trip to Gainesville we may try a different property if renovations and pest management has not been addressed yet.

I stayed here with my husband for 2 nights. Some things we loved were: the spacious rooms. Our room included a sitting area with sofa, desk and then a separated bed area. The TV was thoughtfully placed where it was viewable from all areas of the room, including the bathroom. We also loved how quiet it was. We barely heard a peep the entire time we were there. The staff was great and we appreciated the fridge, microwave, and toiletries. Bed was super comfy, great linens and 4 nice large pillows! Also loved that the smart TV had Netflix available. The breakfast buffet was the star of the stay! We got there pretty early and everything was fresh and delicious! Some things we didn't love: We specifically booked this hotel for use of the hot tub, but found that it was luke warm, and pretty dirty, completely unusable. This was really disappointing. The room that held the toilet and shower was tiny! And impossible to open or close the door when seated on the toilet. Very awkward, especially for my 6'2 husband. *Some.towels in the pool area would be nice. Overall the room was nice for the price and id probably stay here again, but really hope they get the hot tub functioning soon, because that would be my only reason for not staying here in the future.
