The property is older but appears to have been completely renovated. Everything seems to be like new! The office has a very nice seating area and a little bar with a chill vibe.

I had read reviews saying the property was clean. I was only looking for a place to sleep for myself and my daughter, as we would be leaving early to tour UF. I sent a message to the property letting them know we would be a late check-in, probably around 11pm. They said that was fine. I received an email that gave me the following information: Gainesville Lodge 3: (insert 4 numbers not leaving that information in case they re-use codes). We made it right before 11. Staff is only present 8a-8p. I found room 3 but didn’t see a key pad and the lighting by the room was sparse. I called the number that was on the office door for assistance. We did get that figured out. The email they sent me did not have a # symbol in it so even if I had discovered the key pad, it wouldn’t have opened. Once we opened the door, we were greeted with dozens upon dozens of dead love bugs on the floor. There were live bugs on both beds, the pillows, everywhere. While on the phone with management I said something about the bugs and they just said “we do the best we can and sweep when we can”. Needless to say, we did not sleep well. I kept feeling like something was crawling on me. When we went into the bathroom we found more bugs in the sink and all over one of the bath towels. It was absolutely disgusting. We left by 6:30ish because we simply could not be in that room any longer. Spend a little more and stay at a better property.

We were given a room key upon check in and, when we returned much later, someone else had been checked into that room. It’s always an awkward moment when you walk into someone else’s room while they’re sleeping at 1 AM. No amenities to speak of (vending, ice machine bucket, etc.). Furnishings were decent, pillows were terribly hard. Room was clean but very very loud. Not a great part of town. We definitely will seek alternate accommodations next time.

Pros: location, price, vibe. Cons: loud outside the room door, old A/C unit had a mind of its own, wasn’t unclean but looked like they rushed through it and missed a bunch of things.

Great little hotel in the heart of Gainesville, newly renovated! My wife and I stopped in cause we were passing through, we enjoyed walking to some great restaurants at night and enjoyed the coffee in the morning. Good place for a quick stay! I love how they took an old motel and made it new again with tons of character.

The hotel was great! I did feel the skimped out on replacing the A/C. Although they worked fine they did not match the new feeling of the rest of the hotel. The lounge/bar is fantastic! Great coffee great drink and chill vibe.

A good-sized clean room with an attached bathroom and a comfortable bed. A few things that would improve the experience include an electric kettle, a fridge, hooks in the bathroom, and ideally a blowdryer--these things are among the basic amenities in most hotels (the kettle and the hooks in particular). Overall, this place definitely works for a short stay. The staff were nice and accommodating.
