One of nicer properties in gainesville great for UF related events. Easy access and parking. Shula’s steakhouse onsite one of best restaurants in town. Negatives: it’s tired. Rooms need furniture updates, beds not very comfortable, feels understaffed but those working were very nice and working hard.
