GNV-Filter: Not your average hotel/motel in Gainesville, Fla?
I am flying to Gainesville later this month and am seeking a hotel or motel in the downtown area. All I can find are high-priced B&Bs or large anonymous corporate hotels, most of which are located not in the city center. Is there anything that is smaller and centrally located? I would prefer to not be out in the sticks, or by the University.
Thanks in advance!

I don't know where you're going to sleep, but if you don't take the time to buy a pizza at Satchel's, you're doing yourself a horrible disservice.
Gainesville's a really cool town. Take the time to explore a little, if you can.

I'm from Gainesville, and I'd second PhoBWanKenobi's comment: Gainesville's a bitty town, despite its huge student population. You could probably do the CouchSurfing thing there with great success, if that's your cup of tea. The Holiday Inn is a good central location. There's also a couple of hotels on Archer Road, I think, that aren't too far away from downtown and not directly next to the University.
Good luck!

If you get bored while you're here, feel free to send me a MeMail. I'd be glad to buy an out of towner a beer or two.
