Very nice property overall. Nice staff. Very clean. We did not know that parking was valet only (which is free). We also did not understand why the water did not get hot in the room.

Every time we go to Gainesville, which is a lot, we really like to stay here because it is so clean. It’s walkable to my daughter‘s sorority house and the main areas are very clean as well. The staff is friendly and the valet is also very friendly. This is one of the cleanest hotels I’ve stayed at, and I have stayed at a lot of of them! I highly recommend this hotel

This hotel looks new and convenient to UF. We stayed on the 4th floor. Looks all new paint from hallway to the inside of room. But smell strong new painting. It bothers me to stay that room. I asked to change the room. They offered me a room cross of my room, which called “ Pure wellness room “, smells a lot of better. Because there is Pur filter in the room. But loudly at night. Plus I have to pay $40 more for this room. I didn’t sleep well for a night stay. I believe this hotel will be very nice if there is no smell of paint.
