Cons:

I didn't like that the only option for eggs was to stand in a line for an omelet. It was very nice to have that, but I was never ablento get one because the line was so long. There should be some scrambled eggs offered as well

Budget Friendly property but need improvement
Pros:

The property was good and well maintained. Ample parking.

Cons:

The room was good. However, the room next to us was having a dog which keeps on barking whole night causing lot of problem while sleep. It should be the responsibility of the front desk to make sure this while assigning the room. No one will appreciate hearing a dog barking whole night.

The location is near to highways but you need to have 15-20 drive everytime you need to go to Gainsville. Thats a minus for me.

Breakfast needs improvement. Lots of things were not working and there was no one to either fix them or arrange them.
