Almost new courtyard in the heart of Gainesville! Located in walking proximity of many restaurants…read moreand bars. Pretty nice building with few quirks. For example, hotel lobby is not on the street level but one floor up, with no specific signs. Parking is plentiful but is not complimentary. Internet does not work well even for elite Bonvoy members which is part of our membership! Hotel is new, but bathtub is straight out of 1950s. Bar is well stocked with lots of servers, but meatballs are straight out of microwave hot on the outside, and cold on the inside....etc. Most importantly - at the check-in point, I spoke to someone who could not spell. As she couldn't punch in my last name in the computer, she asked for ID which is fine. However, making a comment out loud "god lord is complicated" that my last name is complicated is not acceptable, and is offensive. It appears that this hotel is developed by someone who has financial means, and no clue about hospitality. Perhaps they should hire a competent general manager, and remove all illiterate hicks who scoff at everyone not meeting their preferred demographics!

No free coffee in the lobby. This trend of paying for breakfast is getting out of hand-- now I have…read moreto pay for a cup of fresh coffee. The coffee in the room-- which I'd need to fill with bathroom tap water since they don't give you a bottle of water upon check in-- is a cheap keurig knockoff. It burns through flimsy black plastic and I'm sure would only leach chemicals. I've stayed in hotels with more hospitality and more amenities for half the price of this. Edit: and they charge for parking. Of course you guys do. ONE STAR.

We were going to be in the Gainesville area later on Saturday and didn't want to drive several…read morehours to get home. We had been familiar with the are about 20 years ago and opted to just stay overnight to see how it had changed, etc. I did some research and opted to stay here, partly as I already knew the location. We arrived around 6:30 p.m. Check-in was easy. They have self-parking around most of the building and do not charge you for it. The room was fairly spacious. The entry hall was a bit of a choke-point versus the entrance to the bathroom, but it wasn't a real problem. The shower stall was also a bit narrow, but manageable. The room was dark at night and quiet. Despite the hotel's location on a main road in town, I wasn't really aware of traffic noise. The location is about 3 - 4 blocks from Gainesville's square. There are several restaurants within 1 block. If the weather is nice, the whole area is very walkable. Entry to the hotel is primarily off Jesse Jewel Pkwy, which is busy. There is basically a U-turn into the front entrance. However, there is a small spur road that also connects to the parking lot and alows easy access to the square. The layout is a bit odd, but once you see it, it's easy. Breakfast the next morning was pretty good - basically back to pre-pandemic standards. They had ham, scrambled eggs, various bread + toaster, a waffle machine, cereal, yogurt, etc. If I were staying in Gainesville again, I'd consider staying here.

October 2021, 12 nights, free (all nights covered by our points). We selected this hotel based on…read morevarious site's 4+ average ratings and the desire to burn Marriott points before we lost them. The staff was friendly. This hotel is a little tired/worn though. I think a little attention to detail could overcome some of these things, e.g., our bathroom had a dead bulb the night we checked in and the nice note written by housekeeping was on a tablet with a coffee spill. The next day another bathroom light bulb went out so I had to ask for two bulbs. The next night the tv wouldn't turn off so we had to unplug it but then in the morning the tv would comeback on after we plugged it back in. The fitness room was closed for much of our stay due to an HVAC problem but guests could use the Marriott Townsuites fitness room (the hotels have adjoining parking g lots). The breakfast service was back to normal/pre-COVID and they have an A (99 out of 100) health inspection rating. There is a laundry on the second floor with generously sized washer and dryer, which was $3 per wash and $3 per dry. Some evenings there was fresh chocolate chip cookies in the lobby. The internet signal was good. My husband and I both worked remotely on a few days of our stay and had no trouble with video calls, email, etc. I don't think if we're in the area that we'd stay here again.

In addition, there was no in room coffee maker for early morning coffee without sending me down to the breakfast area for coffee (by the way very bitter). The room had a refrigerator, microwave, and iron. It seems to me that the two items that were missing would have gotten a lot more use than the microwave. After our travels we wanted to clean up but we found that the locked down soap and shampoo dispensors in the bathtub were empty. In addition the water pressure was so low (water saving setting I presume) that the water only came out in a slow dribble and was mostly unuseable. Trash bags were draped over the trash cans, making us install the trash bags ourselves. We went to sit on the beds and found them so high that our feet could not touch the floor (I am 6'2" and my toes could barely touch). The toilet seat was super low, I assume for people in wheelchairs however for a person with bad knees it was very difficult to navigate. The breakfast the first morning was seemingly planned to have just about nothing in abundance. The eggs and the bacon ran out; they replaced them but even with limited guests it ran out again. When they refilled the bacon they put 6 to 8 pieces in the tray. they were gone almost immediatly and stayed empty while I was there. The physical facility was fine but it seems the management cut every corner that could be cut. I have stayed in hotels all over the world from the absolute best, to hotels in the Arctic without heat and just a lot of blankets. This hotel at best is a disappointment. The way this hotel is run is a true example of management cutting so many corners that it drives away guests; it is truly not worth the $170.00 per night that they charged, I have had more satisfaction and a better experience staying at a Motel 6. I like many others, I seldom leave reviews; however this hotel pretending to be an upscale facility is deserving of my time due to the many glaring defiencies. Several mediocre aspects would never cause me to to leave a negative review, it is only the truly deserving that typically cause me to respond on Yelp. This hotel will not see another penny of my money. I would urge people considering a stay here to look elsewhere, there are many nearby options.

The air worked perfectly. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The property was well maintained. They offer a complimentary breakfast. It is not a huge spread but everything you need to start your day. Be prepared to wait a few minutes because the food is behind the front desk where you are not allowed to go. The front desk clerk will get you what you want and need. If we ever travel back to the Gainesville area, we will definitely stay here again. I highly recommend- very affordable as well.

The only nice person was the maintenance man The walls were paper thin. Literally could hear my…read moreneighbors farting and laughing with each other. There was a roach in my room. Bed bugs were biting me leaving blood on the sheets. The shower had black hair in it. They prey upon people with disabilities here. Upon arrival we were out power in the heat of 90! I should of known by this I wouldn't get any much need rest. So when power finally came on the tv wasn't working I let them know immediately around 11pm which my neighbors were up farting laughing having a good ole drunk time. Around midnight after I'm asleep I'm getting calls from front desk I'm disturbing the peace. I'm asleep but tv plays commercials and volume goes up. (Which I notified them of issue) I turned tv down went back to sleep. Again I was waken up and threaten to leave because their tv is messed up but it's my fault I have to have tv on to sleep to block out my neighbors farting and loud laughing. Which volume was at 28 then by end of night at 8. It was still too loud for the gasy laughing girls next door. The next morning I'm awakened by the house keeping screaming in Spanish right outside my door. Then text that they will fix the tv. I asked for a refund after what happened last night I knew I'd never get any rest. She said manger isn't here and will be back on Monday but they would refund me but couldn't give me evidence and proof that I'm being refunded. But had to be out of room at 11am which it was 11:05 am when she texted me that. Which I'm not leaving without evidence of refund anyways. It was extremely shady vibes. So all day we're going back and forth about it. Finally the manger texts stating I'm being passive aggressive. She's a shrink as well as a manger I guess but wouldn't allow them to bully me. I stayed strong with them threatening me TK kick me out if I called the police for guests being loud and breaking the laws. They suggested to have me move rooms but the gassy gals left why Disliked  ·  do I have to move?? Then they finally sent maintenance to fix tv which I was crying he consoled me. The problem was they didn't have correct remote in the room which caused both guests disturbance. Literally every day it was some form of harassment. I didn't feel safe but couldn't afford to be out of $541.00 the hotel not giving me evidence of a refund for booking.com which I had to waste two hours on phone with them. Which lady even advised me not to leave unless I have documentation of refund because they told booking.com they couldn't help me until Monday. Literally they knew I had service dog but trying to tax me next day for pet fee. They knew I had my service dogs because of mental disability and chose to harass us the whole time staying there. I'm reaching out to a lawyer and contacting code enforcement. They ask if animals use the only grass area that was overgrown to my dogs neck. We seen snakes in there and god knows what else. This place was honestly the nastiest place I've ever been too and the worst hotel in my life. So don't make the same mistake I made thinking I'm helping a small business owner this place is worse then corporate chain owned hotels. Not to mention there's drunks all night drinking right outside the door until after m

The room I had came with a microwave and mini fridge, just what I needed to store extra waters and gatorades for the weekend. There wasn't a bathtub, just a shower, which was a bit of a bummer but I knew that going into the reservation. Also, they have an outdoor pool, but it's closed in March and no hot tub :( The breakfast is top notch though. An automatic pancake maker, cereal, fruit, yogurt, scrambled eggs, sausage, even turkey sausage option. A juice machine and fresh hot coffee.

Going to the second room, housekeeping left linen ON the floor outside the door. Even with it being on a bag that is NOT sanitary. Second room we had to figure out HOW to get in the room the door handle opens the opposite way and then the light covering is missing and laying ON the counter in the bathroom. The third room finally looked livable. But came back in my room to find a bug on my pillow!!!!! I will NEVER come back here!!!!!

The beds feel moist to the touch and the bathroom had obvious black mold on the walls. Dead bugs, dirt everywhere. I told my daughter to grab her things and start reservations down a few exits as we pack up and I go to turn in the key and request proof of checkout. Was not given any paperwork and was told I had to call Choice for a refund. Called them on the way to another hotel that was almost sold out, but got a room. So far I've been refunded only one day of my two-day stay which has been taken out of my account. I'm waiting for a call about why it was not fully refunded. Forget renovations and just level the place and start back over.
