Highlights

Location: Walking distance to downtown Gainesville

Meeting Space: Accommodates up to 75 attendees

Pet-Friendly: Designated rooms for guests with pets

“The locally owned feel comes through, with a staff that seems to care about the little things; the small game room off the lobby and Keurig machines in the rooms underscore this impression. I noticed that the pool, open until late, and the pet-friendly policy add to the broadly welcoming atmosphere. Still, spotty Wi-Fi in some rooms is a potential drawback that could use attention.”
