My 2nd stay at Gainesville Lodge. It’s conveniently located for my visits. Safe, Clean, Parking, walk to restaurants. Not stylish or modern, rooms are dated & a little dark. Quite ok for a short stay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This is a fairly basic motel but perfectly fine, clean and comfortable, in an unbeatable location downtown. Rooms are set back a bit from the street so they stay quiet. The parking is enclosed and seems very secure. For me the biggest drawback was loud and fairly ineffective air-conditioning (although it did work). I would definitely stay again.

Ok I guess

Graduation day at university stay over. Expensive for what you get. No frills of any kind. Very spartan and cheap. However, people checking you in were nice, room was very clean. This is what happens when you wait too long to reserve a room.,
