We stopped here for the night on the way to visit family for graduation event, this was our first time at this hotel. We usually stay at one of the Choice Hotel family to earn points in their loyalty program. While there wasn't anything special here, there wasn't anything wrong either. I wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

This was our second time to stay here as we travelled south once again. Easy access from the turnpike, comfortable, clean rooms and a satisfying breakfast to get us on our way the next morning. Recommended!

Rooms are very clean, beds are comfy, and breakfast is great, they have a hot breakfast every day. Also very quite, nice pool etc. Directly off the interstate, close to shopping, gas and food. I stay there everytime I go to Gainesville, wich is probably twice a year.

Friendly clerks, spotless and quiet rooms, near everything. What more can you want? Even had fun (and good service) with Addie at the desk. I can't remember a negative, unless you want gourmet breakfast food. What they serve is adequate to get you back on the road.

Where should I begin? This hotel was our last stop on the way home from New Orleans and it was our fifth hotel and by far the worst. Check in was very fast but weird as we were given our room keys wrapped in a piece of torn paper (see picture), never have seen it before. Well, we went to... More

This hotel was perfect for us. The hot breakfast with eggs, sausage, and waffles was delicious! It was clean, well lit, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was easy to access from the Interstate and close to the University where we had a scheduled activity. Will most definitely stay there again.

We were greeted warmly by hotel staff who were friendly and informative. The room was very quiet, clean and well kept. The bed was nice and the shower/tub were also good. The morning breakfast was done nicely and accompanied by a selection of newspapers. The hotel is located just off I-75, convenient located to all Gainesville places as well as... More

Always choose a Comfort Inn to stay in when we travel and have always been pleased but not with this particular hotel. Stayed here in June 2012, their rooms (2 of them) were humid and wet even with the air conditioner running. We ended up checking out but had to check back in the next day, hoping a new room... More

We were in Gainesville visiting a friend at Shand's just this week. Our original plan was to stay at the Holiday Inn since it was so close and I have been there before, but we were talked into the Comfort Inn because of the price and its proximity to the interstate. I looked it up on Tripadvisor and saw the... More
