When I followed up with property I was told they are fully booked with wedding and Hotels.com aka "third party" should have not allowed my reservation to go through. Could is be that ....hotel's interface with "third party" is actually a hotel responsibly too! Perhaps, I am sorry it happened could be a standard of customer service, not just "anything else we can do for you?"

My experience at the Blanche? Beautifully strange…read more I'll explain. First off the hotel is as beautiful as advertised. From the lobby to the grand staircases, the artwork to the perfectly polished wood. It's all gorgeous. The rooms are also very nice too. Historic yet well maintained. The bedding and decor is spectacular, and even though the rooms are east-facing there are blackout blinds to keep that unforgiving morning sun at bay. Now, why the strange part? Because for the two days I was there, I saw ZERO humans in the entire hotel. For starters, everything is automated. My reservation was done online. I got texted an entry code to the property and to my room. And checkout was all via door code and online too. Never in the entire experience from booking to stay, did I speak to or see another human. And for a hotel experience, that's just weird. So, The Blanche. Definitely better than staying at a chain hotel. Great value. Stunning beauty. Eery silence. Finally, let me add this. There are several one star reviews of this place talking about a bar, roaches and no parking - I can say with confidence those reviews are not accurate whatsoever. This place is clean, quiet and very easy to park at, in fact I parked about 10 feet from the front door for free.

Only reason the 1 star is justified is because the food was decent and staff were nice. But, it's…read moreimpossible to mess up frozen nuggets and mozzarella sticks so really no credit given to the establishment. If you want your kids to experience being called out over the speakers during the games from the owner... skate here. If you yourself want to experience unprompted, unsettling, rude interactions from the owner herself... skate here. If you want to pay $15 for a soft drink and funnel fries the size of a McDonald's kids side fry... skate here. The prices are probably so high because they get no business. I would assume their lack of business may be caused by half of their arcade machines not working, or maybe their customers were tired of paying value meal prices for cheap, fried food. For me, I won't be visiting again because I won't be paying to go somewhere where the owner puts her hand in my face and speaks to me as if I were a 6 year-old before I even get a chance to say my first word to her. Spend your money at the bowling alley or drive to Gainesville.

I cannot say enough positive things about Bridgette and the Marry Me Minimonies space! The event,…read morethe service, the ambience, was better than we could have ever imagined. I planned my sister's baby shower from out of state and was having so much trouble finding a venue with AC in August - who would have thought this could be an issue in Florida? I didn't look at MMM originally since it was a baby shower not a wedding and felt the price and target demographic would likely not align with what we were looking for, but finally ended up looking at the Instagram out of desperation to see if the space could possibly work for our needs, and it was PERFECT. Honestly the pictures and videos don't even do it justice. Everyone who attended raved about how beautiful the space was. Bridgette went above and beyond to make the process as simple as possible for me and as beautiful for my sister.. adding so many amazing details along the way without being asked - flowers inside of ice cubes in the mimosa bin, wooden hearts for attendees to sign for a guest book, etc - these amazing gestures were greatly appreciated. She even provided linens, plates, decor, as well as vendor recommendations for the very few things she didn't have. She also coordinated my rental and included everything in one invoice. This is hands down one of the best private events spaces in Gainesville! One of the attendees even said she would like to host one of her upcoming showers there.

After a brief talk, we found ourselves out of eachother price ranges. We ended conversation on a good part. I was surprised to then receive a follow up message two days later. It was a screenshot of pricing and showing that "their pricing was fair". Wedding coordinator is a sales role. It goes beyond pricing, it is about experience and trust. This was very rude to do. Based off this act we will not entertain booking them. Not someone I want to talk to.
