This is a nice hotel with a great hot breakfast, nice pool, spa, and patio, and really comfortable rooms. While it might seem far from the center of Gainesville, not being near Archer Road and all the traffic of that area made it super easy to get around where we needed to go. We'll definitely try to stay here again.
