I am challenged to respond to this…my first experience at the property encountered cockroaches in the bathroom and near the AC; the beds, however, were SUPER comfortable and the (shower) water pressure was great! In the SAME room, 90 days later (second visit), I did not see roaches…but encountered bedbugs. I was immediately switched to another room, and had great beds, great AC, very helpful handicap accommodations (for me), but there were multiple “Rollie-Pollie” bugs on the floor behind the toilet (they don’t scurry and weren’t bothersome). I swam in the pool which was nice - and overall like the property. I simply wish the bug problem would be addressed. I would like to return in the future. I do think the staff is aware of the bug problems and, otherwise, are very hospitable.

This was the perfect place for us to stay overnight. Great price and clean. It is an old style motel, and it has been refurbished and was excellent! The location was good with a few restaurants very close and a couple very new apartment complexes across the street. We will stay here again.

I know often times we look for name brand hotels, and you get the cookie cutter stay but I was searching for an affordable quick getaway, and I saw the Guest Lodge online and it looked nice, so I tried it. This place was amazing. If you are looking for a clean, quaint, friendly place with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay, I whole heartedly recommend the Guest Lodge. All I can say is it felt like a community, a family run business, and a place that felt like home.

The staff members were nice, however after sleeping on flat pillows and hard bedding, we woke up to a huge roach in the floor. Had another small one come out from hiding while in the shower. We went to get to advertised breakfast and they had no hot food at all. Everything was kept behind the counter. The orange juice and yogurt was hot and the banana was bruised. Definitely not the 8 out 10 hotel that was advertised. I would not recommend staying here.

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel while attending the NCAA Championships. The property was clean, well-maintained, and had a welcoming atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The staff were friendly, helpful, and made us feel right at home throughout our stay.

The hotel did an excellent job accommodating the large number of guests associated with the championships. There were two NCAA rowing teams staying at the hotel during our visit, yet everything remained organized and comfortable. Despite the busy weekend, the environment was calm, friendly, and enjoyable.

We truly appreciated the hospitality and would gladly stay here again for future events. Thank you to the entire team for making our visit such a positive experience.

The room was damp but the beds were comfortable. The floor needed replacing where there had been water damage. The coffee selection was poor. There were only 2 pods, one Eight O’ Clock decaffeinated and one Pumpkin flavored caffeinated. There were no other pods in case we each wanted coffee and not everyone likes flavored coffee. The shower curtain didn’t close completely so water got in the floor. I feel if the floors are not going to be carpeted then there should be options for rugs by the bed. But that’s just me. I was pretty disappointed considering the reviews were pretty good. I don’t think I’ll be staying here again nor recommend to anyone unless these things are not an issue for them.

We stayed at The Guest Lodge as we were watching our daughter row at a regatta at Lake Lanier so the location was perfect. However, it took 6 different key cards to get into our room. The staff were extremely helpful with this matter and had maintenance look at it. The problem still persisted but after several attempts we could access our room. The room itself was clean, though felt a little tired. We used the fridge, however by the morning everything was frozen, even after adjusting the thermostat!
Breakfast was behind the reception desk so we couldn’t help ourself which was fine, but I would say not ideal, but a minor point.
There is a pool to use which looked clean and well maintained though we didn’t use it.
It is an easy 10 minute walk into Gainesville with a selection of restaurants which again, perfect.
In general a convenient place to stay with very helpful and polite staff. It was perfect for our needs and with regards to our room, probably a one off and problems that can easily be fixed!

Very convenient to the hospital complex and great restaurant options within walking distance from the motel. Convenient parking, attractively furnished, clean rooms, and lovely, helpful staff. We had to be at the hospital very early (5:30 am, Yikes!) so we didn't have a chance to have breakfast there either time we stayed there, but the breakfast offerings look good and the dining area was spacious and convenient to the rest of the motel.

My family of four had the pleasure of staying here and I was pleasantly surprised. I wasn't expecting much at first because it's called a lodge, but this place exceeded my expectations. Everything was clean, cute, and very well maintained. The beds were comfortable, which is important. Water pressure in the shower was excellent- something that definitely matters when you are traveling! The staff was friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even better. They also offer a complimentary breakfast. It wasn't a huge spread but had everything you need to start your day- bagels, waffles, muffins and coffee. Be prepared to wait a few minutes because the breakfast is behind the desk where you are not allowed. The staff member will get you what you want. Overall, it was affordable, and enjoyable. If we ever travel back to Gainesville, we will stay here again, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting Gainesville.

Very clean and quite sufficient. Good bed. We were given the Ada accessible room which happened to be adjacent to the main road both of which were unfortunate. Also we did not see housekeeping until the day before we left ( 4 day stay) we were not fans of the limited and inaccessible breakfast but it would get you going for the day. One morning they had run out of coffee at 8:30am. For the most part it was a very pleasant place to stay at a very affordable price. Accommodated our VERY late arrival with grace- thank you John.

Guest Lodge met all of our expectations and needs again. This was the third or fourth stay and the only issue was an emergency water line repair which the staff quickly and clearly communicated when the repair was to be made. It did not impact our stay. Parking is great if you’re brining a bass boat!
