With no accomodation rooms in Gainsville, this location was an option. What a surprise it was very nice, well maintained, clean and comfortable. The staff was very nice and pleasant. We also saw other Gator fans staying here after the big football game. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Gainsville in the future.

The place is very quiet, and you can enjoy a good breakfast inside, with air conditioning, or outside by the small but very clean pool, enjoying the natural surroundings. The staff is very friendly, and despite the hotel being completely full due to graduation season at UF, they were able to have our room ready before regular check-in time.
