It was a charming motel. I really liked the fact that it was so close to the hospital, had a nice outdoor swimming pool, provided a nice continental breakfast, and the staff was very friendly and interested in their customers. All for a very reasonable price! We will come back again if we’re staying overnight in Gainesville.

Stayed here while a family member was having surgery. Staff was very friendly. Place was quiet at night and during the day. Very accommodating for my situation has I didn't know how long I was going to be here. At the end of the regular reservation, I was easily able to extend my stay day by day without changing my room.
