Last Minute Stay
We made a last minute stop off on a road trip from Chicago after 18hrs of driving. We were exhausted & just needed a place to rest. Most hotels within 30 miles were fully booked, and Hotels.com had this one left. It was actually much nicer than I anticipated. It was pretty on the outside, and the lobby was nice. The bathroom is outdated, 2/3 lightbulbs burned out and pillows left a lot to be desired, but it was quiet and safe. Beds were comfortable and breakfast was typical of a hotel.

I paid for the room in advance and the hotel clerk said I had to pay for an upgraded room because it's first come first serve. When I said that wasn't right, she said it was hotel policy but managed to get us in the same room without an upcharge. The thermostat was broken. We literally had to remove the cover to change the temperature and the ac was loud and clunky. The shower was cold. There were people hanging out in the parking lot.My husband said it was unsafe for me to take our little terrier out by myself.

This is a very nice hotel. The only issue I had was the shuttle to the airport. Gainesville has almost no hotels with airport shuttle service, especially early in the morning. Before booking through Orbitz, I called the front desk of the hotel, and was assured that with 24 hours notice, I could be taken to the airport at 5:00 AM. I called as required, and was told their shuttle driver was "out of town". Although not clearly stated on the Orbitz website, I was told that the "free" shuttle service was not available for guests who book through a third party, such as Orbitz. They did, however, accommodate me by arranging for a taxi, but I had to pay the driver directly. They then reimbursed Orbitz, and I received a refund from Orbitz. A little bit of a hassle, but I was satisfied by their effort.
