​The location is fantastic. Sam's Club, Target, Publix, CVS, Best Buy, Trader Joe's, and a wide variety of restaurants and shops are all within a 5-minute drive. The rate was reasonable, and the room was spacious and clean—complete with a spotless bathroom, kitchen, safe, closet, desk, bed, and sofa. I was pleasantly surprised that breakfast was included at such a great rate; the selection was perfect for a light, satisfying meal. This will definitely be my top choice whenever I visit Gainesville.

The staff was amazing. Frankie started our evening out going above and beyond the call of duty. She helped us as both my mom and I are handicapped to get our suitcases out and even took them upstairs for us. What a treat that was she was definitely the best front desk person I’ve dealt with and I have traveled a lot. Then there was Lorene have breakfast. She also went above and beyond when I mentioned oh I guess you’re out of yogurt she went and got some. She poured some milk in a cup for me Mike at the desk this morning was kind and then I met Crystal while I was loading the car. She asked if I needed her to take the car back for me. I needed to go in anyways, but it was very kind of her to ask beautiful smile and seemed eager to help… breakfast was good. I also like the fresh popcorn and lemon water as a perk rooms were spacious and clean. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone and I hope to be visiting again soon.
