Disliked: Amenities
Little quicker check-in. More in terms of towels and bathroom stuff -- body wash, etc. Towels were a little old.

Liked: Cleanliness
The property was recently renovated and my room was spotlessly clean
When staying in Gainesville for the old Florida vibe, it was refreshing to stay at the Gator Town Inn. It is an older Inn but it was very clean, safe and comfortable for a quick stay.
