Room at the Inn
In an extraordinarily busy weekend, where the entire city of Gainesville was booked, I was able to get this hotel for a few days. And a very comfortable stay it was.

This is an affordable hotel, just off 1-75, offering a decent hot breakfast and clean, comfortable room. There is excellent shopping and plentiful dining options nearby. Not fancy, but with an early week booking discount, we found it good value and wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

Having stayed here a couple times, I like the location, the property and staff I've encountered. The breakfast plus pop corn and cookies in the lobby are a nice touch.

Far better than I would have expected a 2-star hotel to be. Very clean, very comfortable and even the breakfast was better than expected. Not a bad choice in Gainesville.
