Great place to stay in Gainesville.

Location was great if staying with family. Dollar general near, Academy near(we had to go buy hats) Cheddar's shares a parking lot. The room was a standard Holiday inn room and it was clean, up to date, and comfortable. The only visual complaint was the caulking in the bathroom wasn't as profession but that didn't affect anything. Margaret and Dennis were AMAZING! We made two separate bookings after our plans changed and they accommodated us to stay in the same room. Breakfast was basic but good, clean, and refilled quickly. Overall a great place to tuck in while visiting Christmas towns. Fwiw-they don't have coffee makers in room but have a coffee station in the lobby(We don't do coffee so no nevermind to us).

More run down/dirty than I remembered

We stayed here two years ago and I remember thinking how nice, new, and clean everything was so we decided to stay here again this year. The staff were great, but the room had an astonishing amount of wear and tear compared to two years ago. The bathroom was visibly dirty - urine stains around the toilet and many hairs all over. The carpet in the room left our feet pretty dirty as well. I will say it was one of the most comfortable hotel beds I’ve ever slept in though. Overall would not stay here again.

One of the dirtiest hotels I’ve ever stayed at. There was black hair dye all over the bathroom and things were falling apart everywhere. There was a chunk of baseboard just sitting in the room and the wall next to the toilet was very stained. The shower water didn’t get hot, just warm and the walls were very thin and so it was noisy.
