Great Full Service Hotel

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Great full service hotel at a super affordable price, including attached bar & restaurant and conference center. Convenient location directly off I-75 in North Gainesville. Desk staff friendly and helpful. Free breakfast was great, including a custom-made omelet station.

Wonderful Extended Stay

I have been staying at this particular location for probably three months now on business, and I must say it has been an absolutely wonderful experience. Management staff is absolutely wonderful very helpful! Morning breakfast buffet is probably one of the best I have seen, and I have traveled all over the country!
