​The location is fantastic. Sam's Club, Target, Publix, CVS, Best Buy, Trader Joe's, and a wide variety of restaurants and shops are all within a 5-minute drive. The rate was reasonable, and the room was spacious and clean—complete with a spotless bathroom, kitchen, safe, closet, desk, bed, and sofa. I was pleasantly surprised that breakfast was included at such a great rate; the selection was perfect for a light, satisfying meal. This will definitely be my top choice whenever I visit Gainesville.
