Almost new courtyard in the heart of Gainesville! Located in walking proximity of many restaurants…read moreand bars. Pretty nice building with few quirks. For example, hotel lobby is not on the street level but one floor up, with no specific signs. Parking is plentiful but is not complimentary. Internet does not work well even for elite Bonvoy members which is part of our membership! Hotel is new, but bathtub is straight out of 1950s. Bar is well stocked with lots of servers, but meatballs are straight out of microwave hot on the outside, and cold on the inside....etc. Most importantly - at the check-in point, I spoke to someone who could not spell. As she couldn't punch in my last name in the computer, she asked for ID which is fine. However, making a comment out loud "god lord is complicated" that my last name is complicated is not acceptable, and is offensive. It appears that this hotel is developed by someone who has financial means, and no clue about hospitality. Perhaps they should hire a competent general manager, and remove all illiterate hicks who scoff at everyone not meeting their preferred demographics!

We had been familiar with the are about 20 years ago and opted to just stay overnight to see how it had changed, etc. I did some research and opted to stay here, partly as I already knew the location. We arrived around 6:30 p.m. Check-in was easy. They have self-parking around most of the building and do not charge you for it. The room was fairly spacious. The entry hall was a bit of a choke-point versus the entrance to the bathroom, but it wasn't a real problem. The shower stall was also a bit narrow, but manageable. The room was dark at night and quiet. Despite the hotel's location on a main road in town, I wasn't really aware of traffic noise. The location is about 3 - 4 blocks from Gainesville's square. There are several restaurants within 1 block. If the weather is nice, the whole area is very walkable. Entry to the hotel is primarily off Jesse Jewel Pkwy, which is busy. There is basically a U-turn into the front entrance. However, there is a small spur road that also connects to the parking lot and alows easy access to the square. The layout is a bit odd, but once you see it, it's easy. Breakfast the next morning was pretty good - basically back to pre-pandemic standards. They had ham, scrambled eggs, various bread + toaster, a waffle machine, cereal, yogurt, etc. If I were staying in Gainesville again, I'd consider staying here.

In addition, there was no in room coffee maker for early morning coffee without sending me down to the breakfast area for coffee (by the way very bitter). The room had a refrigerator, microwave, and iron. It seems to me that the two items that were missing would have gotten a lot more use than the microwave. After our travels we wanted to clean up but we found that the locked down soap and shampoo dispensors in the bathtub were empty. In addition the water pressure was so low (water saving setting I presume) that the water only came out in a slow dribble and was mostly unuseable. Trash bags were draped over the trash cans, making us install the trash bags ourselves. We went to sit on the beds and found them so high that our feet could not touch the floor (I am 6'2" and my toes could barely touch). The toilet seat was super low, I assume for people in wheelchairs however for a person with bad knees it was very difficult to navigate. The breakfast the first morning was seemingly planned to have just about nothing in abundance. The eggs and the bacon ran out; they replaced them but even with limited guests it ran out again. When they refilled the bacon they put 6 to 8 pieces in the tray. they were gone almost immediatly and stayed empty while I was there. The physical facility was fine but it seems the management cut every corner that could be cut. I have stayed in hotels all over the world from the absolute best, to hotels in the Arctic without heat and just a lot of blankets. This hotel at best is a disappointment. The way this hotel is run is a true example of management cutting so many corners that it drives away guests; it is truly not worth the $170.00 per night that they charged, I have had more satisfaction and a better experience staying at a Motel 6. I like many others, I seldom leave reviews; however this hotel pretending to be an upscale facility is deserving of my time due to the many glaring defiencies. Several mediocre aspects would never cause me to to leave a negative review, it is only the truly deserving that typically cause me to respond on Yelp. This hotel will not see another penny of my money. I would urge people considering a stay here to look elsewhere, there are many nearby options.

We did not see any bugs, so that was a relief. We will not return to this hotel.

The air worked perfectly. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The property was well maintained. They offer a complimentary breakfast. It is not a huge spread but everything you need to start your day. Be prepared to wait a few minutes because the food is behind the front desk where you are not allowed to go. The front desk clerk will get you what you want and need. If we ever travel back to the Gainesville area, we will definitely stay here again. I highly recommend- very affordable as well.

THE FOLLOWING IS THE REVIEW I WROTE AND POSTED: Sounds odd, but this Super 8 review should be higher but for; 1. The late night lobby air was warm, humid and ponged like "odeur of dirty underwear". I would have left but for the very late night hour. A very bad start. 2. The foreign assistant assigned us an uncleaned room to start and immediately assigned another after notice. 3. ADDITIONALLY, this Super 8 franchisee charges a $50 DEPOSIT REFUNDABLE (2-5) DAYS AFTER CHECKOUT. I GET CHARGED ADDITIONAL iNTEREST. All of the above occurred immediately upon arrival and trashed the whole experience. It was straight up self-inflicted incompetence. I would never stay there again. Could have been OK.

There wasn't a bathtub, just a shower, which was a bit of a bummer but I knew that going into the reservation. Also, they have an outdoor pool, but it's closed in March and no hot tub :( The breakfast is top notch though. An automatic pancake maker, cereal, fruit, yogurt, scrambled eggs, sausage, even turkey sausage option. A juice machine and fresh hot coffee. The free breakfast in the morning and close location to the shopping centers, and my families neighborhood, this hotel was a perfect choice for my stay.

Going to the second room, housekeeping left linen ON the floor outside the door. Even with it being on a bag that is NOT sanitary. Second room we had to figure out HOW to get in the room the door handle opens the opposite way and then the light covering is missing and laying ON the counter in the bathroom. The third room finally looked livable. But came back in my room to find a bug on my pillow!!!!! I will NEVER come back here!!!!!

The light was flickering over the canopy like in a horror movie, but again these things are not always a bad thing. The lobby is clean looking, but there is an odor. Walk past trash on the stairs and landing to check out the room and nope. Water damage is obvious, and the smell of mold/mildew. The beds feel moist to the touch and the bathroom had obvious black mold on the walls. Dead bugs, dirt everywhere. I told my daughter to grab her things and start reservations down a few exits as we pack up and I go to turn in the key and request proof of checkout. Was not given any paperwork and was told I had to call Choice for a refund. Called them on the way to another hotel that was almost sold out, but got a room. So far I've been refunded only one day of my two-day stay which has been taken out of my account. I'm waiting for a call about why it was not fully refunded. Forget renovations and just level the place and start back over.
