Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Gainesville, FL

10/10 Excellent

"The housekeepers should have checked behind the furniture prior to clearing it for the next occupants. The windows are not noise-quiet; we heard police sirens; motorists doing wheelies, and etc., during the nights. The parking was great. I Unable to eat breakfast due to a medical procedure next morning."

"The hotel was great! For travel planning purposes for other travelers I would say the only negative was the pull out sofa bed was not comfortable and made squeaky noise throughout the night when the person sleeping on the bed moved/changed sleeping position. Other than that it was excellent hotel to stay at!"
