Very noisy and expensive for what you get.

The check-in was extremely slow - system problems and then my payment cards would not be accepted. Room size ok but very noisy despite 'double glazing' - had to use ear plugs and noise cancelling headphones to get any sleep. At first glance the room looked clean but was dusty and corners were untouched. It was easy to get to, right by the main road which probably accounts for the noise. We had an easy journey to Gainesville raceway. Do not bother with a balcony room - nothing to look at, apart from the road and way too noisy! The one positive was the shower! In summary - expensive for what you get.

The shower drain was clogged so we had to stand in water while showering for most of our stay. We requested the drain be cleared and it was finally dealt with the last night of our stay. The standards of the cleaning staff are obviously low as the room itself was overall dirty. This property is very noisy due to its close proximity to the freeway. I would definitely recommend staying anywhere else in the area.

This Property is a DUMP!

This place was a dump! This place should have a zero star rating! The room was not ready at check in. Property and hotel were filthy. The bathroom was disgusting! Would NOT recommend this hotel and especially at the rate of $495. Very disappointed when hotels.com rated this property 7.8 Good. Not sure I can trust the ratings on this app.

The hotel lobby and bar area look nice when you walk in, but then when you go to the room and check out the bathroom that is completely disgusting. The shower looked like it hadn't been cleaned in a long time with dirt and grime on the shower floor. The floor of the bathroom was so dirty and sticky my shoes kept getting stuck. There were ants crawling all over the sink and counter. I was too afraid to discuss with management based on prior reviews and staying there alone as a woman. To top it off, it was a busy weekend and they charged over $500/night for the room. Would never stay here again.

Room did not have a guest chair of any kind and certainly not the loveseat pictured in the photos. Terrible shower design as the shower controls are on the wrong side. Instead of being able to reach in to start the shower without actually getting in, the door only opened on the far side and you have to get into the shower to turn it on. This means you get a blast of cold water all over yourself before you can escape waiting for the hot water. And if the hot water is too hot, you have to get in the shower again to adjust and possibly get scalded in the process. Totally stupid design that has a potential danger. The tv was the largest I’d seen in a hotel room.
