The back parking lot was dark when we came in on Friday night. The front parking lot was full. the problem we had was that the mattress was as hard as a brick. We were tired but unable to rest well because of this. We've stayed at this property before but did not have this issue last year

For the price and location - it can’t be beat. I grew up in Gainesville and honestly never expected this property to be one that felt fresh and safe. The owners have done a great job and I quite enjoy staying there every time I come back home.

Room was very clean and staff was amazing! The only thing we thought was odd was the fact that the desk clerk had to serve and heat up breakfast items. It took 10 minutes to check out because there were so many people in line to get breakfast

The staff was awesome and polite. The room was great too and I was lucky to have a room where I can look at the pool. I really enjoyed looking at the pool area at night with all the lights around the area and seating out there is nice too.
