For the dollar value, I would come back to the hotel, but if I had additional air conditioning issue
Pros:

Location close to the Gainesville VA Regional Hospital

Plenty of restaurants nearby and to I75 for ease of travel.

Cons:

I really hate to complain, but the air conditioning in the room was set at seventy two and never reached eighty had a restless night of sleep. Due to the heat

Frizzante
Cons:

All' arrivo dall' Italia, dopo un giorno di viaggio alle ore 23.29 circa, l'addetta della reception mi ha fatto aspettare 30 minuti perché non trovava i dati del mio pagamento effettuato settimane prima su booking. È stata paziente ed ha risolto poi il problema assegnandomi una buona stanza, però resta il fatto che dopo il viaggio e la stanchezza accumulata anche lo stress di questa situazione non sapendo se potevo soggiornare o meno, con il timore che il mio pagamento poteva essere stato intercettato da canali poco sicuri mi ha creato un po' di tensione. Non sono riuscito a capire perché a loro non risultasse il pagamento, cmq l'importante è che alla fine sono riuscito a Fare il mio soggiorno.

Cordialità

Want stay there again.
Pros:

Nothing really . As I was checking out a very nice person helped me with ice machine. One on my floor didn't work.

Cons:

Time I waited just to get checked in. Seemed like 10 minutes or so. Ice machine on my floor wasn't working. Some type of bug looked like water bug crawling on night stand. Felt like something crawling on me all night. Very loud music coming from somewhere. Reported it . It stopped not sure if at local bar or where coming from.
