The Guest Lodge Gainesville

Surprisingly there was continental breakfast with a nice eating area. I wasn't expecting breakfast. There is also a small area by the registration desk that has necessities for sale in case you forgot to bring something; there were frozen foods for sale for the microwave. I've never seen that before! A pack of crackers and bottle of water were left for us on the top of the microwave in the room. A nice gesture. The pool-side was nice! There were sitting areas all around outside the hotel. The place, in and out, was very clean! And staff was friendly and helpful.

I don't have much to say in this area.

The staff was friendly and the room was very clean.

Everything!!! Location was also perfect.

Shabby edges in the room...and a frozen roach in the room freezer

The staff was very nice, and the hotel is located in a good area close to many restaurants and things to do.

The room seemed clean and smelled good, but a roach was crawling on the wall while I was watching TV. I killed it, but after that, I was worried more roaches would come out soon. I couldn't sleep well, and the bed was too hard and uncomfortable.

Clean and everything is near the hotel

Break fast at the front desk and they give you what you ask looks like in prison. Honestly first time I saw that!

Eventhough the hotel is not modern, they try really hard to give it that comfy feeling. The seating area by the pool with chairs on the landing to the door mats and hanging baskets. The room had everything I could need, bed was comfortable and fresh towels daily.

Excellent location and great price. Poolside room was nice.

The room was not the most clean especially in the bathroom corners.

This gem of a hotel is like stepping back in history and being reminded of how service used to be in the good old days. The staff all seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs and are delightful to chat with. I would like to recognize John who was my breakfast host for the 2 mornings I was there for going above and beyond and looking after me so well. My room was across the carpark in the 2nd building and was spacious, clean and comfortable. I was traveling with my dog and was able to make a nice little loop around the property with him able to enjoy the grass and the outdoor area. The little touches like the hanging baskets, flowers on the tables in reception, games for people to play and a lovely pool area make this hotel stand out. Also that the rooms have a full fridge / freezer which meant I could properly freeze my cooler block. This hotel is such a refreshing change from staying in chain hotels! Well done team

The central location right on the main road means it can be quite loud with traffic noise (not the hotel's fault)
