“Best Western Gateway Grand has the bones of a great stay near Gainesville's attractions, particularly for those visiting the University of Florida. I noted the sports grill and bar as a plus, and the pool area looks inviting; however, reports of cleanliness issues give me pause. While spacious rooms and included breakfast are appealing, I would confirm recent improvements before booking.”
