We love staying there whenever we do a long drive and Gainesville is on the way. The staff is always super nice, we love the location and how walkable it is. The rooms are nice and clean, love that there is no carpet in it. It could get loud at times, there’s a bar across the hotel for college students so… but they are nice enough to give you earplugs at night. Other than that super happy.

Room was clean, but very warm when I first arrived. Front desk rep said A/C only runs when someone is in the room. I was worried it would still be 79 degrees when I returned at night. It cooled down nicely, even without me there. :) I only stayed two nights so did not have room cleaned/serviced, but the cleaning staff provided me with new towels when I caught them cleaning other rooms. The breakfast is always good. Would definitely stay there again, only on off game weekends though because the hotel is too expensive during game/event weekends.
