Waldo Hotels with Gym

This was our first time staying at this hotel near gainesville. We were here for the first UF football game of the season and this was the only one available nearby that was affordable. (There were four of us adults and one toddler that were here for a family weekend.) The outside of the building was very new and modern so I was hoping the inside was as well. One can never tell from the online photos if it is true or not. As soon as I entered the hotel to check in there was a wonderful aroma! I don't know what it was but it made the check-in experience even better. The front desk staff was very friendly, helpful, made the check-in process quick. There was a Pilot Travel Center and Dunkin within walking distance so those were very convenient. This hotel was located on a quiet road about 25 miles from Gainesville so we weren't too far from plenty of things to do and places to go. ( I also would like to mention that St Augustine is only an hour and 20 minutes from this hotel so that was definitely a plus! There is a beach you can go to but we drove there to go to Buc-ee's and then ride the trolley since we didn't have a lot of time left. There are SO many things to see and do there and plenty of places to eat. We will definitely be back if we are ever in the Gainesville area again.
