Positive: Cute, nicely renovated classic boutique hotel in downtown Gainesville. Close to UF campus and restaurants. The rooms have all been redone with new furniture, bathrooms & floors and they were clean. On site coffee bar & cocktail lounge whip was great! All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay again! Only thing about ALL the lodgings in Gainesville is that they raise the prices for big events: games, graduation, move-in wknds so book in advance if possible!
Negative: N/A
Summary: Classic small town boutique hotel, newly renovated with a cocktail lounge & coffe bar.

Negative: Could have used an extra pillow. I did like the small random pillows and used them. With all my pain, could have used a 3rd full pillow, but you guys did your job by including the smaller random pillows. I’ll ask for an extra next time

Positive: The price was good, it was quiet, and it was clean. The provided robe was nice, and the towels were big and fluffy. The front desk young woman when we checked in was very nice and helpful.
Negative: The little fridge in the room didn't work, and it was very tiny anyway. There was no microwave or hair dryer. The emails ahead of time made it seem as if there would be no one there to help check in, and I don't like or book air bnbs for that reason. Had too many negative experiences with problems with getting codes for entry, etc. , so I was worried I somehow got an air bnb by mistake. Make it clear that this is a hotel with front desk checking available.
Summary: Overall, a good place for the money. Quiet and clean.
