Hotel has a great location and free parking, but that is all. Front desk seemed quite uninterested in welcoming their guests, did not let us know there is an active (and very dusty and dirty) remodeling going on.
Once we stepped out of the elevator, we could smell the musty humid air in dark hallways with low ceiling, extremely dirty popcorn walls. Room was on a smaller size and outdated with dirty carpet you would not put feet on without shoes.
Bathroom ceiling is unusually low with wet and mold spots, tub tiles & wall have water damage all over. We stayed only because it was late Sunday evening. Hotel should not offer rooms like this. I learned they are remodeling other floors from one elevator (out of 2) being covered with drywall dust and white shoe markings all over the carpers. AC was loud blowing cold but bad odor air. We come to Gainesville often, but will never stay again in this hotel. Imagine 1 star budget motel with a 4 star price, that is what you get here.

The hotel has a good location and is suitable for transitional stay before the start of school.

very good. Isn’t this the most cost-effective hotel?
There is also a pizza place on the first floor, so it's good for a quick dinner, and the interior is clean.
