Pros: location, price, vibe. Cons: loud outside the room door, old A/C unit had a mind of its own, wasn’t unclean but looked like they rushed through it and missed a bunch of things.

Great little hotel in the heart of Gainesville, newly renovated! My wife and I stopped in cause we were passing through, we enjoyed walking to some great restaurants at night and enjoyed the coffee in the morning. Good place for a quick stay! I love how they took an old motel and made it new again with tons of character.

The hotel was great! I did feel the skimped out on replacing the A/C. Although they worked fine they did not match the new feeling of the rest of the hotel. The lounge/bar is fantastic! Great coffee great drink and chill vibe.

A good-sized clean room with an attached bathroom and a comfortable bed. A few things that would improve the experience include an electric kettle, a fridge, hooks in the bathroom, and ideally a blowdryer--these things are among the basic amenities in most hotels (the kettle and the hooks in particular). Overall, this place definitely works for a short stay. The staff were nice and accommodating.

The renovation of the property is impressive! The staff was very kind and welcoming. The office/bar area is a nice amenity, room was clean and the parking is easy. Unfortunately, the air stopped working in the middle of the night and it was hot. We couldn't get it to work and there is no fan. The mini-fridge is only big enough for 2 cans. Bring a cooler.
