Super 8 Motel

Nice hotel for the price. Comfortable beds, clean room and bathroom. Good free breakfast in the morning and overall a good experience

Made last minute plans to come to Gainesville and booked this hotel in a rush without doing my normal, obsessive amount of research. I booked because the price was low enough that is removed all guilt I might have felt about taking the trip AND the location was perfect for where I wanted to be while I was in Gainesville. Once the dust settled and my confirmation was in hand, I started to get nervous that I might have made a rash decision. Those fears were all laid to rest when I pulled down the street where the hotel is located. Several other hotel chains are located on the same street, that is VERY close to everything and felt very safe. I felt even better when i parked and went into the lobby. It had obviously been recently — and very nicely, rennovated. THEN, I saw the set up for the free breakfast!!! Another pleasant surprise! The room was nicely appointed and clean. Comparable to other, higher priced rooms I have stayed at in other parts of the country. Staff was lovely. Room had many of the amenities you wouldnt think you would get at this price point — hair dryer, iron, safe and a humidifier. Internet works well and is free. Breakfast this morning exceeded expectations — bagels, toast, cereal, fresh coffee, and a waffle machine. They also have a computer for guests to use. Super8 you have impressed me — I normally don’t even think to stay in Super8’s — but I will be checking them out from now on!!!

Over all this place is pretty nice. Found it thru
and booked a 2 queen bed room for 50 dollars. (It’s off season and no football games were occurring) the hallways are carpeted but the rooms are laminate wood (or really cheap wood) and are super easy to clean up spills. I de used to stay another night but had to switch to a 1 king room which was also nice and clean. Each room had a TV, wall A/​C unit, single serve coffee pot, safe, ironing board, desk and chair, and all the usual stuff (the king had a chair and ottoman instead of a second bed.) the bathrooms were typical. It served its purpose. The staff was friendly AND THE BEST PART after I checked in I went to my room and 30 min later the front desk called the room and asked if the room was okay. (Never had that happened, they opened the door for guest recovery if something was wrong) the room does include a Continental breakfast and includes two types of cereal, toast, mini bagels, orange/​apple juice, oatmeal, coffee, Belgium flip waffle iron, apples, and condiments. I would completely recommend. Also about ½ mile from 75 and super convent with a target across the street, Walmart 2 miles down the road and chain restaurants all over.

This motel was fit our needs. We needed a place to stay the night before a trip to Shands Hospital for a procedure at 7am. Had made reservations at a different motel and found that place unsatisfactory.
Super 8 price was good room big and clean. Nice breakfast for husband. Only problem was the pillows, wish I knew of a substitute for those pillows that are like bolders!
