Camellia Rose Inn — Hotel in Gainesville

I have never paid so much to feel so unwelcome somewhere. PLEASE STAY ANYWHERE ELSE!||||My family and I evacuated for milton and this was the only place we could find at the time. When we arrived to the property we had to park in the street a little ways away because there are only a little bit of room to park but no marked spots. The property is around a kind of sketchy area so there are several homeless people walking around and asking for money. Once we finally got into the property there was no one to be seen and the first person to engage with us was another guest who had no idea where a staff member was. When we did finally see someone, they were very upset that we were even there and then pointed us to our room.||For the price, the room was very unimpressive and had a shared balcony right out the very thin window of the room. The cheap renovations done to the interior of the home completely ruin the charm of staying in an 18th century home. The room had no closet and only contained one small dresser which the top half was locked and unusable giving is only 2 small drawers to put stuff in. But there were 3 chairs for some reason.||For our late lunch we decided to order burgers from downtown and i would just walk and pick them up. On my way i decided to find a spot to enjoy some of my medicine since i am a mmj patient here in florida and finally had a small break. Once i returned my family enjoying them outside when we were quickly approached by two dogs that were off their leashes belonging to other guests. We didnt really mind this since we have two dogs staying with our parents while we evacuated, however the guests didnt really like that i smelled so heavily so they decided to complain to the staff saying we were smoking in our room, even though they interacted with us outside. The innkeeper decided to follow up with that complaint at 9pm when my baby was asleep by coming up and knocking loudly on the door only to tell us “not to smoke in the room”. This was the first time we had seen another staff member since our arrival and it was only to follow up on someones complaint.||The place says no pets, however instead of reprimanding the vacationing guest breaking those rules they decided to harass the family with a baby. Accommodations were terrible, we had to call 3 separate times for sheets because the rooms dont have their own ACs. Quiet hours are ignored, and not enforced (same people that complained loudly arguing through the night, and throwing/dropping beers).||UPDATE for businesses reply:||1) I never smoked on the property at all, but the other guests happily chainsmoked on thenpatio tight behind our window. All smoking was done in my own vehicle away from the property. Unfortunately i do not think any of the inns rules apply outside of the property. Your innkeeper even acknowledged that he could not see or smell any signs of smoking when he was at our room at 9pm.||2) we were never shown to our room, and PAID FOR EARLY CHECK IN.||3) Was literally told by your team we would have to cancel through Expedia.||4) Service animals are required to be on leashes and identified as service animals. Also a service animal wouldnt approach a stranger...
