Ideal location within walking distance of everything you need. Close to UF. Every single member of the staff was just outstanding. The room was clean and quiet (with the help of the white noise machine they provided...:-). The breakfast buffet was really good and they have beautiful balcony on the second floor so you can enjoy your breakfast (or later) a happy hour drink, outdoors. They no longer have valet parking, which was fine by me. There is a garage a block away that you can park for $30 a night or one 3 blocks away for $10 a night. On weekends, street parking is free until Monday at 10 a.m. and, at least on this particular weekend, there were plenty of open spaces right near the hotel. This is my favorite hotel in Gainesville!
