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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Parking was great their lobby and bar Twist was very modern and zen they did a great job remodeling the place and the rooms were very comfy only thing is they could’ve had better AC system.
Newly remodeled property. Very clean and super cute rooms. Bare minimum, but if you don’t need a lot just a nice room that’s within budget, this is it! We will def be back.
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.
The renovation of the property is impressive! The staff was very kind and welcoming. The office/bar area is a nice amenity, room was clean and the parking is easy. Unfortunately, the air stopped working in the middle of the night and it was hot. We couldn't get it to work and there is no fan. The mini-fridge is only big enough for 2 cans. Bring a cooler.
Loved the location and the atmosphere of the hotel. It was a good size room, the bed was comfy and you can tell there was a lot of care put into every part of the room.
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.
