Dirty bugs I don’t know what happened to this place. I used to love it. They were really nice to me. The staff is amazing. I will say especially the daytime stuff. I think it needs an upgrade. The security guard was our 24 seven there was always something going on.

The lady checking me in was in a bad mood and made me feel unwelcome. Terrible choice of an employee to have facing customers.
The lighting in the room was old and orange.
However, the bed smelt fresh and was comfortable
The room was amazing we thoroughly enjoyed it when we come back to Gainesville we will stay back at the Red roof inn thank you so much for your great hospitality.
Made a quick trip in to see our son at UF, traveling with our two dogs. All went smoothly and very appreciative of the staff and the property as a whole.
