Happy with...everything!
Couldn't be happier about my stay. Room was huge and spotless. Quiet. Hotel proper and lobby area were clean and comfortable and inviting. Desk staff was superb. Polite, efficient and handled my requests with ease. Used hotel transport for a very early flight and driver was ready and friendly. No negatives. Highly recommend and would stay again.

reasonable
I think it’s very reasonable and clean for the price. It’s not the Ritz-Carlton but Comfort in and compared to other places in Gainesville, it’s worth the money.
