We stayed five nights and only got room service one of them. Not exactly a big deal but I missed my complimentary coffee in the morning, and clean towels would have been nice. Making our own beds wasn’t a huge problem. The wall HVAC unit made strange gurgling sounds sometimes but was functioning. Other than that it is an older property which has been more or less maintained in acceptable condition. We selected this place largely because of price and you get what you pay for. But the beds were so nice and the bathroom had bed redone and was so clean and sparkled I would definitely stay here again

A fantastic place to stay when going to watch the Gators play!! Beds are very comfortable. AC was good for the room size. Lots of space in the rooms. Definitely a steal for the money. They even have an app that controls your check in and check out. Also it’s the key for your room. Definitely will be staying again! Go Gators!!

Overall nicely renovated older motel. A few things about our room: the “GFCI” outlet over the sink was labeled “no equipment ground” (?); cracked tiles on the bathroom floor; I couldn’t get the TV to tune in any of the channels; stained bedspread (eww). Also kind of pricey for what it was. We paid $150 per night in early November. However the bed was comfortable and the air conditioning worked: my two non-negotiables.

Overall I was glad to stay at this motel
Overall I was glad to stay in the motel. A late football game @ UF necessitated a motel stay as driving home super late at night wouldn't have been fun or safe. The price of the room was fair. The motel property has been updated nicely. We had no issue getting into the room with the electronic key sent directly to my phone. We never had to go to the office/front desk to check in or out. I am very impressed with the updates to this really old motel that was getting more & more run down over the last several decades. The main portion of the room was updated & clean. That being said the bathroom needs to be at the top of list for an immediate priority update. The shower & tub insert were certainly replaced but it doesn't appear anything else has been touched. Very old, grimy looking tile on the floors & walls, old sink, old toilet, old mirror, old tile mounted soap tray & tooth brush holder (ick-get rid of them all together), old window, messy paint job, old light, etc. The bathroom needs to get taken down to the studs & completely renovated. Due to the age of the bathroom nothing looked clean b/c how can a decades old room possibly get cleaned well enough to sparkle, especially given the property was previously owned & managed by different folks. As I said above, overall the property & the main portion of the room were updated & clean & I was glad to stay at the BlueGem Motel.

A bad day in paradise
I did not stay. I got there early. I had to leave the East Coast before the hurricane Milton got there. The front desk said my room was not avaliable yet. Understandable. I waited. Then people started to check out, and I heard cancelations. The front desk lady said she would ask the manager if I could have one of those rooms. When the manager arrived she was unfriendly, frankly rude when she scolded me for being there too early, and said she could not assign me any other room bc I had reserved through Hotel.com. It was a little too much to handle in a devastating hurricane uncertainties. I canceled my reservation and left.

We could not stay because of Hurricane Milton damage to our home. Instead awaiting the passing of the storm here we needed to rush home to salvage the flooding in our home.
