HOM Hotel Gainesville, SureStay Collection by Best Western
Staff belligerent after just one mild criticism. Someone also entered my room & left it OPEN, no less, with “respect privacy” sign on the door. No clear delineation between lobby & breakfasting area for people with dogs. Bathroom super-functional, beds & pillows comfortable.
