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.

My son and I came into to town to visit family for five days. I have to say, WOW! The staff no matter the position they held had pride and made everything so easy to handle. I have stayed at very top rate hotels in my life to feel like a number and not of any importance. The Entire staff was there to help with just about anything we needed. I was outside just standing looking at the pool and was asked by 2 different staff members if I needed help. Any question I asked were answered with a positive response and solved quickly with what we may have needed during our stay. We felt safe, appreciated, and seen! The property has a standard and you feel it from every member of the staff. GREAT JOB!!! We will be back, THANK YOU

Too strong an odor of Clorox after arriving. Bathroom door stuck. Front of soap dispenser near lavatory came off easily. Dispensers over tubs; Two appeared out of shampoo and body wash. Otherwise we were happy to be there. One key to room did not work. Staff quickly made that right and said they would get maintenance and housekeeping on the other things. Outside areas were lovely. No problem getting in or out of the place as some reviews had said.
