Great stay!
This was a lovely experience for my family & my dogs. Yes it’s older & yes it’s by the road… but it’s a very affordable, clean, comfortable place to stay in a great location to be able access all sorts of things within minutes. The staff were super friendly & the room was perfect for the dogs. If we need to travel to Gainesville again, we would definitely stay at the Guest Lodge again!!

Good but bad drive
The hotel was nice. The only thing that’s not great is the drive way is right in a curve and it’s scary getting out of their drive way with oncoming traffic.

Everything was good except……the dumpster truck coming at 330am and slamming the dumpsters waking us up. Also the walls are super thin between the rooms, so you can hear everyone around your room’s conversations. Have stayed here many times and will continue to do so when traveling to the area.
