I was terribly disappointed, PIF before arrival for 9/6-9/8 for a wedding on 9/7 at 4pm. Due to rental car issues i didn't arrive until 10:30am on 9/7 to be told my room was canceled because i didn't check in at 4 on the 6th although i was paid in full until Sunday. Reluctantly asked to book another room and was told sure but you can't check in until 4pm and that's what time the wedding started i had to get hair and make up done by 2pm. I want offered any help at all....And no they weren't booked or full their was 4 cars in the parking lot...I was really hurt by this.. Had to drive another 14 miles out of way.. but thankfully i was able to find a room there with no problem at all.

I was a little skeptic of the location because of the distance from University but it was definitely worth the trip. So happy that the room was clean and spacious after a long day. The only thing bad was the cable did not work at the time.

Love this place! (It was our first time staying here.) BW Waldo is very clean & had a very nice scent in the building as soon as I walked in. The king suite we had was very affordable & roomy & i loved the bathroom! I was greeted with a smile & the front desk clerk was very friendly & helpful. The Dunkin Donuts and Pilot travel center wwre both in walking distance so that was definitely a plus! It also was only 25 minutes from Gainesville so we weren't far from the stadium for the game and so many other things.

The tv was not working, pillows were small and didn’t even come close to being sufficient for a king bed. Laying all 4 end to end didn’t get from one side of the bed to the other.
