The hotel is very well located, good restaurants, cafes nearby. But at night, we barely could sleep because of the outside noise. There is a dance bar cross the street and people, cars, motorcycles make a LOT of noise. On the website, is said that parking was included but we had to pay $30 per day.

Bad service from staff and manager
At check in the room type we have reserved was given to members and the manager said there is nothing he can do. He downgraded us or he said he can cancel our reservation. Some of us ended up sleeping on a pull out bed. Although we paid in advanced and reserved a 2 queen beds. We were told that the head manager was in the gym working out and would not take our call. The staff said the if we do not like it we could leave. Will never go back to this hotel or chain

We had a great time at the hotel! Everything was clean, the breakfast is generous, the rooms comfortable it is a busy hotel since it is in the little downtown Gainsville area with lots of restaurants and snack options. The kids enjoyed the pool everyday… parking can be tricky but overall we had a wonderful family time.
