Dirty bedding
Dirty! The sheets had blood stains on them and a pillow had snot on it. We were moved to another room because the front desk man said he had no help working to get us new sheets. The new room also had blood stains on the comforter. Disappointing stay!

Good for a quick overnight, but wouldn’t stay agai
Came to Gainesville for a tour of UF. Don’t think I’d stay here again… when we got off the elevator, the area was being used as storage for sofa beds - they were stacked up along a wall. Our room was very humid even with the A/C on. I find that the coffee maker and ice bucket being located IN the bathroom where the toilet is, is rather unsanitary. There was a hair stuck to the wall outside the shower and a used bath towel hanging in our closet.

Poor service and poor clenliness
The hotel is in a ggod location, within walkable distance to stores and restaurants, but it is a old hotel. The carpets were dirty and the hot water did not work at all. I moved rooms to one with cleaner carpets, but the internet connection was poor. Nobody was able to fix this. It seemed this was not their problem.
