It can only get better! This facility opened its doors the day before we arrived. It was clean and new. Would definitely recommend it especially if you want to stay in downtown Gainesville near some great restaurants and bars.

Since the property has been newly renovated, it stands to reason that the experience should be good. Good basic accommodations were provided and it was comfortable and seemed secure. The staff was very capable and went out of their way to ensure we had a good stay. Only real complaint was a squeaky bathroom door and the lack of an exhaust fan in the bathroom. A little larger refrigerator would have made the the stay fantastic! The parking lot is tight and it is tough to park larger vehicles. Overall, a great place to stay.

Needs to have a fridge in the rooms. The little fridge that holds 2 waters is not big enough.

I wouldn't take a hooker in there.

The remote for tv did not work. The shower looked like it had black mold in it. The pool was unuseable. Thank god the ac worked. The toilet seat was lose from the toilet. On the plus side there was coffee but you had to walk to the office to get it.

In city

Hotel was only supposed to be 63.00 and ended up being $77.00. It was old, bathroom looked filthy. I was scared to take a shower. Looked better on site.

Just a simple cheap motel in the midst of downtown

I was staying here for a couple nights while moving out of my apt in Gainesville which is close by. If they renovate the property, get rid of all the nasty musty carpeting, some flat screen TVs and high-speed internet, they can raise the prices a lot. GNV in general does not have good hotels, so even less to be expected from a motel. The internet was very slow and iffy, so I ended up going to the UF library. Having stayed at the Hilton UF Conference center for a much higher rate and basically getting similar service in a far flung location, I can say this: save your money and stay at this cheap dingy motel in a much better location in downtown GNV. Spend the money you saved to go to a nice restaurant, drink at a bar close by and walk back to Gainesville lodge.
