Classic small town boutique hotel, newly renovated with a cocktail lounge & coffe bar.
Pros:

Cute, nicely renovated classic boutique hotel in downtown Gainesville. Close to UF campus and restaurants. The rooms have all been redone with new furniture, bathrooms & floors and they were clean. On site coffee bar & cocktail lounge whip was great! All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay again! Only thing about ALL the lodgings in Gainesville is that they raise the prices for big events: games, graduation, move-in wknds so book in advance if possible!

Cons:

All around, excellent choice to stay.
Pros:

The property is located in the heart of the crowd of the University! Easy parking, and walking distance to all festivities, parks, clubs, bars, and restaurants! The value was WELL worth the price and then some! They do have an ice machine and a coffee/bar in the lobby!

Cons:

The little Refrigerator… you can fit 4 cans of soda in it. I Brought a cooler, thankfully. No microwave for midnight cravings.

Cons:

Could have used an extra pillow. I did like the small random pillows and used them. With all my pain, could have used a 3rd full pillow, but you guys did your job by including the smaller random pillows. I’ll ask for an extra next time
