Overall I was in Gainesville with my RV and got this room. It was a busy weekend and the room was terrible. Old filthy flooring was the main reason… But I had water shoes to shower with. Never go back to that hotel

Ok not sure if aware but for a non smoking rooms there was still the smell of marijuana first I thought it was a lady outside and the A/C but know there’s fans in the bathroom ! Which means they were blowing it up in the fan in the bathroom which doesn’t make me a detective but just annoyed customer!

This place is just OK. Was able to sleep and shower and go on about our day. Had trouble with the TV. Phone didn't work so had to go downstairs for help. Gave me some tips to fix it on my own. No breakfast. Good location close to I75, shopping and restaurants.
