Had a wonderful stay for a great price. The room was exceptionally clean and quiet. The only issues were a lukewarm at best shower and the fan in the bathroom was really loud. But for the money it was wonderful. The staff were very friendly as well.

The only issue is the water pressure could've been a little stronger. Also, it would be nice to have a rack inside the closet such that you don't have to put your dirty clothes on the ground.

The price. Is why I stayed here. I’ve been going to Gainesville every other weekend since 2/4 to visit my sister in shands hospital. This is one of the better places for the price. It looks like they’re remodeling and I always say you get what you pay for. I was happy to say better than expected.
