Great place to stay!

This was my 2nd stay at the Comfort Inn , Gainesville University. I need a nice, restful place, close to I75 for a one night stay, as I travel on to Miami Beach. This place met all of my needs. The bed was comfortable the shower nice and hot , the popcorn and cookies was a nice bonus, Barbara at the reception desk was very gracious and helpful, and the included breakfast was delicious. I will certainly be back here next year, Lord willing!

Needs to be cleaner

I would have given more stars but the bathroom was very dirty with urine and toilet paper in the toilet when we came in the room and some red spots (not sure if rust or blood) in the bathtub. Let the front desk staff know and all they said was sorry and didn’t offer another room or a refund. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean other than the bathroom.

Before anyone goes into a hotel room it should have properly cleaned and have nice smell. Room smell was awful. I cleaned down everything and sterilize and sprayed everything. The smell was just bad. When making reservation I told I could pay on property then day before I was to go they called and said to keep room I would need payment. False advertisement, not good. I would never use any Comfort Inn never. Very old nothing updated @ all. Staff was very nice. I was not very happy stayed due such short notice and was Track Meet my grandson was attending. Comfort Inn needs to do better. Natalie was person stating all the above information .
