Good value for a quick, cheap stay
Staff was friendly and helpful. I was only staying there for one night and I needed a cheap place to sleep in and I feel like I got my moneys worth.
Newly renovated motel room , GORGEOUS . NO SMOKING ! GREAT AFFORDABLE ACCOMMODATIONS, LOCATED NEXT TO THE INTERSTATE , STAFF IS SWELL AND WAFFLE HOUSE , CIRCLE K AND WALGREENS NEXT DOOR / BUS LINE UBER RIGHT HERE AND AN EASY PRIVATE DRIVE FROM GAINESVILLE AIRPORT. HOLLA
Nick was wonderful the check in was very helpful and fast and the stay was very nice and comfortable.. I will definitely go back when I’m traveling to Gainesville Florida.. like I said Nick was very helpful and very nice I really appreciate him so much..
We stayed 1 night and got a great deal. We went to the Florida Gators game and it was a huge rivalry game so we anticipated the crowds and high prices for rooms but our rate was reasonable and worked well for the night.
Bathroom was very dirty, lots of hair and dirt in shower pan. Police were present for most of this night. The room was booked for 5 but only had 2 towels and 4 pillows. We checked in very late and they were able to accommodate a 2am checkin which is why I rated the service high. But we were unable to get an extra pillow. My husband slept with towels rolled up as a pillow.

I booked this last minute and was a little concerned with all the negative reviews. I expected the worst and was pleasantly surprised. Its not the Ritz but its what youd expect from the price. It was clean, the air conditioner was awesome and the bed was comfy. Sure , its run down and could use some maintenance but for a quick stay it was on par with a motel 6 or something similar. The staff could use a little customer service training as they seemed bothered at check in and check out, but again, what do you expect? Overall, the place was fine.
this place is the most disgusting place ever .. i would not even have my dog stay.. pool had black water plaster on walls in room no paint .. didn't stay 10 min felt so unsafe.. no lobby check in by window when I told the guy I would not stay he shrugged shoulders and said I don't care u already paid..please take this off your site
Property used for long stays of low income familys, and area construction workers.
Although close to Hwy 75 and a few decent restaurants.
A stray,frendly cat walked into our room and made its self at home under the bed. Delaying our departure. Making sure it was out of the room before we left.
The shower was COLD water only.
A leak around the toilet and still very dated, after obvious attempts to update with New paint.
Our room was dirty, we found a used toothbrush on the ac/heat vent. There was also urine in the toliet. The ac/heat vent did not work, we weren’t able to change the temperature at all. The parking lot felt unsafe, as it was poorly lit. There were no amenities, for example, not even wifi. The safe was polite.

This is a budget hotel; worn but clean, comfortable, well lit, and secure.
The room had not been cleaned. Dirty, used soap bars laying on shelf, mold in the shower, toothpaste spittle all over the mirror. The tv had white spots in the picture. I documented all with pics.
time for updates
helpful 24/7 front desk
average layout hot water multi channel tv a/c
staying price per night should be fixed $50 until renovations starts
just need a place to rest before continuing long trip
The room was very dirty, dust on everything, food dried on the floor, toys and pennies found. Did not look like the pictures on the booking site. TV worked but had bright lights shining through so it was hard to see the picture. Mold in the shower. Food splatters in the microwave.
The room was disgusting. The floor boards literally were detaching from the floor and they were sticky. There was stuff, I don't know what it was, all over the walls and door. The curtains were broken and the room smelled like lemon cleaner mixed with BO. We didn't stay there and got another hotel room.

Very nice people and environment, though the room is a little run down. A bolt of lightning hit the motel at 7 in the morning and scared me to death.
