We booked for a volleyball tournament. Close to everything, clean, and my kids liked to pool to unwind after being in a gym all day watching volleyball. The only downside was the traffic noise outside our room, but it quieted by midnight and didnt pick up again until 7am'ish.

Great stay!
This was a lovely experience for my family & my dogs. Yes it’s older & yes it’s by the road… but it’s a very affordable, clean, comfortable place to stay in a great location to be able access all sorts of things within minutes. The staff were super friendly & the room was perfect for the dogs. If we need to travel to Gainesville again, we would definitely stay at the Guest Lodge again!!
