old holiday inn nothing remains of former glory days
Bbqman3341on 14/06/2016 04:21unkept appearance form street leads to worse conditions inside. dirty lobby helps explain room conditions . do not stay here. we didn't after looking at room. unsure how they stay in business but this place should be closed or at least made to conform to code.
Worst Motel in 50 years of traveling
travellerone2016on 22/05/2016 19:45Lobby dirty and unkempt. Should have backed out then. To his credit, the clerk asked if we wanted to see the rooms first (we should have). Elevator broke while we were in it. (No inspection certificate or max load information in elevator) Was trapped in the elevator for 15 minutes. Room was dirty and stank. Carpet was soaking wet in front of the bathroom. Shower curtain rod broken and hanging down. Mold on the walls. Smoke detector gone, had been ripped out of the wall, just wires hanging out. Most of the motel is permanent residents, a noisy, shoddy-looking bunch. Just nasty overall. Can't believe that the Gainesville health department hasn't shut this place down years ago - maybe they want to concentrate all the trouble in one place. STAY AWAY!
Just WOW
Jason Hon 23/08/2015 19:02I didn't expect much from the lowest weekly rate in town but this is ridiculous. I understand in the process of renovation but still no excuse for rude staff, dirty ( dirty diapers ) parking lots and walkways.
No WiFi unless you want to go sit in lobby and then nothing after 8 when they lock up. Door knob fell off in my wife's hands and has not been fixed after 3 days. Advertised HBO and doesn't have it. Pool is closed for whatever reason.
I would love a 10 minute conversation with the new owner. Renovation is great but presentation ( cleanliness ) and providing what you advertise ( WiFi , Pool, HBO.....) should be first. Then start fixing what you don't see or expect.
This place should be closed down and sure does not need to show pictures that it don't look like
Karen Gon 20/05/2015 18:32Went here in May 2015 I searched motel on line and called for the week end we went was Mother's Day weekend no one had any rooms so I reserved here cause pictures didn't look bad wrong when we got there went to room it looked like the people that was staying there lived there it was nasty I mean it was not clean had a awful smell the room next to us had a hoarder in it things was staked to the ceiling and his bed had stuff half way up to ceiling and he was laying on top of it look like drug people and prostitutes were there there was no way I was going to stay there the guy was nice enough to give my money back for both nights Thanks to my Awesome God cause I was praying I would not lose my money and I would have sleep in my Truck before I would have stayed there but it was my spouse my handicap mom grandson and my sister but we to end up finding a handicap room only one anyone had but cost 200.00 for 1 night but it was well worth it to not have to stay in my truck with all my family please do not waste your time at this place it is really a bad bad place and Gainesville needs to condemned it and close it down I don't even know how it could be open I thought they had to be check by health department but I can tell you this place is not fit or clean enough to be open this place don't even deserve a 1 but that is all I could give it needs a minus 1000 or more
Absolutely DISGUSTING
tat2edmom5on 19/04/2015 16:45My family is staying here for a two week vacation that started two ago. In these two days it has been nothing but hell!! I booked the room in advance but paid with cash in person and for the two weeks. The first night the drunk man next door harassed myself my children and my husband everytime we tried to step foot out of the room. The drunk idiot proceeded to follow us into our room sat down and continued to drink . We got him out of our room and called the cops. Nothing was done. Every time we went outside to smoke he would cuss and threaten us. The room is infested with bed bugs my son is getting eaten alive. I demanded a new room but was told nothing is available. Demanded my money back and was told no refunds. There is no WiFi no swimming pool no breakfast no pets ( I booked the room due to allowing pets got here with my pet after paying 100 deposit and was told no more pets) no fitness center no anything the hotel advertised . Nothing but drama aggravation and filth. I'm surprised this place hasn't been shut down it sure needs to be.
