Personal Touches

This was an amazing experience from checkin to checkout!! The staff was friendly, courteous and extremely helpful. We were there for tests and doctor appointment at U of F. Our schedule got changed twice and we asked for a late checkout at noon and then changed it to 2pm...no problem! The coffee, tea, candy, cookies and popcorn in lobby were an added bonus and nice touch to make you feel at home. Breakfast was fantastic!! A large selection of choices. The lobby and public areas were clean and updated. The room was amazing!! It was comfortable, clean, updated and well appointed! Internet worked well, tv was great and best of all the "Welcome" from the operations manager...a personal touch. Thank you for the hospitality...see you next month.

Check in and check out were very fast. Breakfast was good, especially the small omelets and the person in charge was very friendly. I would add some kind of larger toaster where whole wheat bread can be toasted well.

If you are looking for luxurious accommodations—this is not it. But if you are looking for a clean, budget hotel in a great location with friendly staff, comfortable beds, every toiletry one would need, excellent included breakfast spread and all day popcorn, coffee and cookies—then there is no better choice in Gainesville.
