RUN DOWN. NO HOUSEKEEPING SERVICE. BROKEN ITEMS

We have been staying at this property for 10 years. As UF Alum, we come up to Gainesville often. I do not know what happened to the hotel. The staff was rude and not helpful. The hotel is dirty and run down. Our room was never cleaned on the second day of our stay. The coffee pot in our room was broken as well as the outlets in the bathroom. The floor along the baseboards had dirt and dust accumulated. It felt dirty to me. The mattresses were old and lumpy. Not comfortable at all. The duvets were showing age and threads were coming out. My pillow case had stains on it. We will not be returning to this property. The only thing it has going for it is the location.

Our stay was just fine. The hotel is older but accommodations were just fine. Shower was just okay. Hair dryer was on its last leg. Front desk employees were not exceptionally friendly but were very efficient. The location is wonderful and we will here stay again.

The front desk left the phone off the hook for 24 hours, making it impossible to get through, and the broken Wi-Fi, which they assured would be fixed soon, was never restored during my stay. As I was on a business trip, the lack of internet access and the inability to reach the front desk by phone forced me to visit the desk in person every time. Despite no one appearing to use the phone when I visited, they consistently left it in an off-the-hook state. This was an incredibly frustrating experience.

Parking in their ramp was an additional $22 per night, which wasnt communicated to us. Fortunately, street parking was free AFTER 8 PM if you were lucky enough to get a spot. It's a college town. As we were deciding what to do, someone pulled out of a spot at 7:30 so we secured it and stood by the car til 8 hoping a cop wouldnt come by. They didnt.
