Pleasant comfortable and very clean
Pros:

The young lady that checked us in was beyond helpful. We had come from another hotel that was a horrible experience. The young lady let me see a room before paying. The staff was lovely! I truly appreciated it!

Cons:

The only thing I did not like, was getting into the property. If you were coming from the town direction you had to go past the hotel and turn around to come back. However that is not at the hotels fault.

Not bad if you're looking to spend over $100 for a dirty uncomfortable room with no desk
Pros:

The very best thing about staying at the Gainesville Econolodge was my check-in experience. We arrived late. I had booked the room on Booking.com but opted to pay at the hotel. However, despite a confirmation number, the night manager and I waited for about 20 minutes to no avail; it never came through. In the end, she got us the room we requested and processed payment.

I also liked that we were on the first floor and could park in front of the room.

Cons:

Almost everything else could have been significantly improved. No desk. WiFi kept going in and out. The bed was lumpy, unsupportive. We paid $108, but breakfast was just coffee and muffins. The room was very poorly cleaned. Dirt and grime visible in every corner. I was going to move the sofa to be able to use the nightstand for a 'desk,' but there was so much dirt underneath I couldn't do it. The bathroom was gritty with mold throughout the shower and in all the corners around the ceiling.

This experience would be an overall 2 if it weren't for how great the awesome woman was who checked me in.

NEVER AGAIN
Pros:

Can’t think of even one thing

Cons:

Would not let me in our room 45 min early. Made me wait in the car
No ice available. “Breakfast included” is a granola bar with coffee Bed was awful could feel the springs in my back. I do not think the sheets were changed after last guest. Room smelled awful. Parking and maneuvering in PL very difficult. Not enough towels ( only 2 for 2 people) for two days. No maid service. Staff was rude. Especially the offsite manager “misha”
