It was a charming motel. I really liked the fact that it was so close to the hospital, had a nice outdoor swimming pool, provided a nice continental breakfast, and the staff was very friendly and interested in their customers. All for a very reasonable price! We will come back again if we’re staying overnight in Gainesville.
