Far better than I would have expected a 2-star hotel to be. Very clean, very comfortable and even the breakfast was better than expected. Not a bad choice in Gainesville.

Breakfast was very nice variety. I have no problem busing my own table, staff should be wiping/sanitizing tables periodically. Clean yet it needs updating
