Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

8/10 Good
"It’s the red roof ya know. This was still a nice stay mainly because of the staff being so friendly, we all enjoyed the pool my daughter especially and they allow 1 pet to stay for free so we were able to bring along our dog! We did have to request a new room our first night there - the one they originally gave us was extremely broke down and honestly shouldn’t be allowed to be rented out until the several Required repairs are complete, BUT they didn’t give us any hassle. Just went back down to the front desk requested something else and they gave a cleaner/better room on the same floor which made moving easy peasy. I’ve stayed here before in the past and it’s always an ok experience as far as quality goes, but you can’t beat the rate + location + great staff & the pool was clean and cool which makes up for quality in my opinion."
