My room was nice and clean. The problem I had was the barking. I was on the second floor, and I can hear dogs barking all around me. I'm not a dog person. I asked the attendant if there were rooms away from the dogs on my arrival. The front desk attendant said there was dogs on all the floors. That was disappointing. I was tired and didn't want to go through booking a room at another hotel. When my wife and I traveled, we stayed with WB a number of times and aways had a room away from dogs. My wife passed on December 26th. I was gone most of the day planning and setting up for her memorial service. Needless to say, I didn't get the rest I needed. Would I like to have a refund? Yes, I would. Even a partial one would help.

They were more than kind (had a pack of cookies for us on entrance). They did not overprice their bottled waters (0.50 cents). The pool area was very nice and clean, saw a pool-man check chemicals, towels at the pool to use as many as you wanted and a basket to return dirty ones to. Housekeeping brought new towels in a bag and hung on our door (3 day stay) because he had "don't disturb" sign up. Offered hot breakfast which was fairly good, and even had someone cooking up omlets in the dining area. Allowed dogs, but very clean anyway.

Night clerk that checked us in was awesome. Very kind and accommodating. Morning clerk for checkout was ok. We had no hot water in our room (#206) and we let the water run so long I felt guilty about wasting it. She did not offer anything for our inconvenience, just that she would tell maintenance. We didn't get showers. And the sofa smelled like cheese. The TV is also very annoying to try to use. But, the bed was comfy. The breakfast was good. They even had a waffle station and an inlet station. So that was nice. It was worth the $100 we paid but a hot shower would have made this a 5-star review.

This is a well-kept, beautifully landscaped pet-friendly hotel. Our bedroom and bathroom were meticulously cleaned and the bedroom was spacious. The bed was comfortable. The pool and hot tub were also clean and operational. We highly recommend this hotel and if we are ever back in Gainesville or nearby, we will stay there.
