It was very nice and clean, especially for one night stay. The front desk JQ had superb customer service. Beware the bed might sway and creak but if you can get passed that you will enjoy the stay.

Clean, and quiet. Great affordable spot to sleep for attending a competition at the Alchua Sports Complex (10 min drive away). Handful of fast food restaurants and IHOP nearby. This is not a “high-dollar hotel” but is a good, no frills, place to lay your head. The staff was professional/friendly, room was clean and not in disrepair though it is an older facility. I the hotel was pretty full but they honored our request for

We required a prompt accommodation option, and the property was available. While the rooms showed signs of needing some updates, the overall cleanliness was satisfactory. The bed was somewhat firm, and the pillows were rather unyielding and could benefit from replacement. The staff, however, was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. It is worth noting that breakfast was not included in our stay, and the room rate was slightly higher than our preference. Nevertheless, overall, it was a pleasant experience.

It was a non-smoking room, but there were already various stinking smells in the room, and we couldn't sleep because the people in the next room were noisy about whether they were drunk by 4 a.m.

Smaller motel but easy access to UF, downtown, airport, and interstate. Modest room with smallish but clean bathroom. My room was a king bed with fridge and microwave. Very reasonable and quiet.

This property was unique in that you could check in at any time you wanted. There wasn’t a rule about not being able to check in until 3-4pm like at most hotels. The room was very nice and spacious. The hotel was close to everything I needed. It was a pleasant experience and I’d stay there again.

Good for the price

This motel was very convenient to my meeting at the University of Florida. Check in very easy with friendly staff. I felt the breakfast was on the lower end of the spectrum compared to other motels offering free breakfast. I would stay there again.

Pictures seriously over inflated look of room. But it was a cheap room and clean, so I was happy. Check in guy made me feel like I was annoying him when I was checking in. Probably not the best way to treat a customer. At least pretend you enjoy the job.
