With no accomodation rooms in Gainsville, this location was an option. What a surprise it was very nice, well maintained, clean and comfortable. The staff was very nice and pleasant. We also saw other Gator fans staying here after the big football game. We would definitely stay here again when visiting Gainsville in the future.

We had a nice stay here. The location is remote so there are no shops or dining nearby to speak of but that's just the area. It's about 10 miles frim Starke where there are a few restaurants and stores. It's also located next to a travel plaza with gas, a Dunkin and some other fast food options so the basics were covered. We only encountered two employees- check in and breakfast- and both were lovely. Definitely recommend to anyone who has reason to be in the neighborhood.
