There was a terrible smell in the room. Some kind of very strong air freshener or something sprayed to cover up some other smells. I told the front desk and he said all the rooms were like that. I kept the door open for hours hoping it would go away. But it didn’t. We could not get our money back because I did it online. It had a no cancellation. In the middle of the night, it got so bad I couldn’t breathe and I had to go outside and sleep in the truck for most of the night,

Nice property in the hotel “district” of Gainesville. A couple of issues we experienced- no daily cleaning of the room in a 4-night stay, which was odd. No new towels or trash pickup. We spoke to the housekeepers on our floor but obviously some confusion. The last night we were awakened to gunshots outside our 2nd floor window. Not sure where the shots came from but was still a bit disconcerting.
