Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
My senior mom showed up with my two children and immediately called me saying that she didnt feel safe being there with the kids and that she was going to go find somewhere else to stay. I told her that the hotel was non-refundable, and she said that that didn't matter because it wasn't worth the risk. I tried and tried to get a refund but no one would give one. So, my mom was out that money, but they found a nicer stay at Red Roof in Gainesville.

Although there was nothing unique about the property, I liked how accommodating the staff was. The linens were clean, the bed and pillows were comfortable, and the wi fi was easy to connect to. If there was anything I didn't like, it would be that there was some stains on one of the chairs in the room. The other would be that there was a wear spot on the carpet near one of the beds. Very minor, but you asked. LOL Nothing fancy but it served its purpose, would stay there again in the future.

They put me in a ground floor room. The smell was bad, probably mildewed ac. Later in evening I went to bathroom and it had been left with tissue in it and I couldn’t flush it. I had to go to front desk and get plunger. He did not extend any help at all. The breakfast was what I expected.
