Room was clean and nice but the water wasn’t very warm, wifi wasn’t great and the room was a bit chilly even with the ac unit trying to keep it warm. Otherwise though the staff was great and the place itself was good. Definitely a couple things that could use some work though.

I would honestly ignore a bad review, the guy who runs the place was really nice and Bilingual. The room was spacious, clean, and bedding was very nice. My boyfriend and I were pleased with our stay & enjoyed staying in High Springs. It’s also a block from our go to dive shop in the area.

I was here for the first time and was very well received by Maria.modern and clean rooms.Stay would be very good if it weren't for the inconvenience at check out with a staff member. a gray-haired girl who was extremely rude about the check-out time.I was with my son who was just 2 years old and my wife was very welcoming and offered a discount that was offered to me because I was a diver and a soldier and which I did not accept, I was scolded for refusing a short late check out for our son.The biggest irony is that as the Wi-Fi signal is not good, we were left with our son in the waiting room for time to get our receipt.Unfortunately, there is no point in the owners being friendly and investing in the facilities if the manager, attendant or whoever is so rude, irrational and arrogant.never !

My friends and I were there this weekend, and we had an amazing experience. The Blue Gem was truly a Gem. Best motel I stayed in. Room is spacious, clean, staff was wonderful, and generous. It’s 14 mins away from to Ginnie Springs and walking distance to the strip where the restaurants and shops are. When we come back, we will definitely staying here again! Thank you again! ?

Our room was spotless, everything we needed & more. Felt safe, nothing to upset ‘two old ladies traveling alone’! Beds are comfortable, plenty of linens and the price was right.

The desk person was very nice and helpful. I spent a quiet evening in my room. I was about to turn off the light to go to sleep and saw something crawling in the bed beside me. IT WAS A BED BUG. I got up and started looking and found 6 more at various stages of life! I immediately packed and went home to Gainesville.

The rooms were great, smelled great, the staff was wonderful, the parking was easy, they had a awesome little play area for kids. We didn’t stay long enough to really enjoy the room, but I would definitely go back to this hotel. In fact, the next time we have a getaway to Itchetucknee Park, we will make a point to stay at this hotel for several nights.Nearby activities: Itchetucknee

Stayed at this great motel for a night after enjoying High Springs. The bedroom was very comfortable and clean. The motel has a common out door space with games of kids (or not!) The service is very kind. Will be back if ever in the area again!

We stayed here as an overnight for a family trip to the Springs nearby. Its location is great- 15-20 minutes from two different springs. The town has great small businesses and is definitely great old town Florida.The Motel is family run and they have sunk a lot of time, effort, and money into the place. The room was SO CLEAN, the beds were VERY comfortable, and the new pavilion was a great time! My only complaint is the AC window unit. However, the weather was great and once the AC ran for a while we were fine (two tween boys and two adults).We will be making this trip again and stay at the property for sure!Rooms: The rooms have been redone- new carpets, bathroom upgrades, etc.Nearby activities: Great little town with good restaurants, brewery, coffee shop!Safety: It seemed very safe and clean.Noteworthy details: The new pavilion provides a nice place to grill or eat local pizza (Prohibition Pizza was amazing!) and play games with the family. There was lawn chess, corn hole, large connect four, and a few other games.

Our stay during July 4-6th was great! The Blue Gem is a very cozy and beautiful motel. Francisco welcomed and made us feel at home. This is a great place to stay when visiting High Springs or passing through and need a place to rest for the night. If your lucky you can find yourself relaxing under the gazebo and a enjoy listening to the rain on the tin roof.Rooms: Very nice and the beds are comfortable. The bathroom is beautifully decorated with a modern look.Nearby activities: Ginnie Springs is very close.Safety: Safe place to stay.Noteworthy details: Right outside of the office you'll find the ice machine, a water station to refill your water bottle and a stand with clean towels should you need more for your room. The office offers coffee and snacks and a beautiful seating area to drink your coffee.
