I have stayed in 200+hotel, this is very poor. Hallway carpets finally if stains, ceiling tiles have many water stains, room tile coming loose in room 141, and terrible stairwell. Place should be torn down.
I chose this property because it was next to the place I was visiting for business for three days. This place was populated by people who seemed to be living there under rental agreement. They were sketchy in appearance and behavior. The elevator didn't work, the floor of my room was so sticky and dirty that I wore socks the entire time, which became filthy. There was only one small bar of soap in the room, and one waste can. The room smelled badly of mold, and it gave me a headache. I would have booked somewhere else, but it was homecoming weekend and I had no choice but to stay. I will sleep outside in a dumpster before I stay there again. It would be cleaner and safer.
All in all the property was clean and well maintained. The staff was very welcoming and professional. The location is convenient to many restaurants and shopping sites.
Check in was easy and staff was nice. Lobby seemed fine, but there were a few odd folks lounging around in there. We checked in later, like 10pm. Room was fine looking, but the beds were very wobbly and squeaky on a loose metal frame in need of repair. One bed had sheets that seemed to have not been changed with dirt and hair under the covers. There were only two towels, but the bathroom was clean. Whole place needs an upgrade housekeeping needs to do their job and not cut corners.
We needed a hotel in Gainesville to attend a Gator game & this was literally the last hotel with an available room for 2 nights. Due to the game all hotel rates were very high, so that means we paid almost $500. The staff were nice, but here are the problems we had from start to finish; the elevator was broken, but they put us on the 3rd floor (we are not young!), this hotel smells bad, the hall carpets are stained, the security doors on the floors do not lock, the floor in our room was cracked with a missing chunk, the furniture & 1 chair were badly worn, the water in the shower/tub wouldn’t turn off, the 2 pillows were like pancakes, the air conditioner front panel was halfway off, the shampoo, conditioner etc mounted in the shower were empty & the maid removed 1 set of bath towels but didn’t replace them, the bed had 2 sheets with a very worn flimsy blanket. Positives: the Wi-Fi worked and the mini fridge was cold.
Lights in the parking lot shinned into the room. Never getting dark. Very noisy from the highway traffic. Breakfast was good. I’ll pass the next time around.
The general manager was very helpful and accomadating. The only problem is no plug for the bath tub so you can take a bath. Other than that, wonderful place to stay.
Our stay got off to a disappointing start. Upon entering our first room, we discovered red stains along the wall borders; they were concerning enough that my mother, who is a nurse, worried they might be blood. Additionally, the drawers were quite filthy. While the front desk did accommodate us with a room change, which was an improvement, the furniture in the second room (specifically the chair) was so visibly dirty that it was honestly off-putting. On a positive note, the breakfast was good, offering a decent selection of hot and convenient food. However, if cleanliness is a priority for you, I would suggest looking elsewhere. I would not recommend this hotel for an extended stay.
