Great place to stay in Gainesville.

Location was great if staying with family. Dollar general near, Academy near(we had to go buy hats) Cheddar's shares a parking lot. The room was a standard Holiday inn room and it was clean, up to date, and comfortable. The only visual complaint was the caulking in the bathroom wasn't as profession but that didn't affect anything. Margaret and Dennis were AMAZING! We made two separate bookings after our plans changed and they accommodated us to stay in the same room. Breakfast was basic but good, clean, and refilled quickly. Overall a great place to tuck in while visiting Christmas towns. Fwiw-they don't have coffee makers in room but have a coffee station in the lobby(We don't do coffee so no nevermind to us).
