Great, we enjoyed very much!
Pros:

Excellent location and very professional staff; upon check-in, they informed us about the 24-hour coffee service and also recommended the breakfast. We didn't get a chance to use the pool, but the area looked very pleasant. My wife and son loved the breakfast (I couldn't try it myself because I'm on a diet, so, so sorry).

Good value north west of Gainesville Center. worth a look
Pros:

This is a clean hotel on the north side of Gainesville. I like the lobby and had a western feel to it. A little Spanish rococo style. The pool area had a spa and it was very pretty. There was lush landscaping around the property. There was a very good gym downstairs. Breakfast was slightly above average because they had custom-made omelette station. It’s a 20 minute drive to the University of Florida campus. There are a few good restaurants around the hotel. I would stay there again.

Cons:

None
