JOHN and SARA Aug 11, 2025 06:49:05 AM
Summary: Nice stay close to campus. Newly renovated (still ongoing). Staff was very friendly. Only complaint was the AC had trouble keeping up with the old windows. The heat coming in was too much but was OK overnight when set to 63. I’d stay here again,
Andrea Jun 16, 2025 09:09:37 AM
Summary: Construction going on … dirty and lots of working people all over
Jodi May 6, 2025 06:36:10 PM
Summary: We stayed here for our daughters graduation from UF. This is an ideal location, within walking distance of campus and the downtown. The hotel is under renovation and we stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms and it was very nice. Breakfast was great and it was made to order and not a buffet. There is also an Italian restaurant attached to the hotel. We would stay here again if we were back in Gainesville.

Summary: Hotel is located in a prime location for access to the main campus. They are remodeling, which caused problems with the TV cable service in my room. My room did have a wonderful view of the University of Florida campus. Traffic on University is busy and get load at times.
Cason Mar 31, 2025 09:26:19 PM
Summary: Lovely staff and very nice and clean rooms but the hotel being under construction was very inconvenient and not worth the price for the hotel, not having wifi my entire stay and then also the hot water situation was quite annoying and then to top it off the tv only had 40 working channels. But the staff were friendly and amazing
