Great little hotel in the heart of Gainesville, newly renovated! My wife and I stopped in cause we were passing through, we enjoyed walking to some great restaurants at night and enjoyed the coffee in the morning. Good place for a quick stay! I love how they took an old motel and made it new again with tons of character.

The hotel was great! I did feel the skimped out on replacing the A/C. Although they worked fine they did not match the new feeling of the rest of the hotel. The lounge/bar is fantastic! Great coffee great drink and chill vibe.

A good-sized clean room with an attached bathroom and a comfortable bed. A few things that would improve the experience include an electric kettle, a fridge, hooks in the bathroom, and ideally a blowdryer--these things are among the basic amenities in most hotels (the kettle and the hooks in particular). Overall, this place definitely works for a short stay. The staff were nice and accommodating.

The rooms are nicely remodeled. They have the cutest mini fridge that only fits about two or three cokes. It’s adorable but if you’re looking to store food, you’ll need to bring a cooler. Very well done with the Remodeling. Needed to have some weatherstripping around the doors, but I think that was just overlooked on my room. I do, however, wish that there would’ve been a pool, especially being in Florida. Thank you for such a nice day and all of your staff was amazing.
