Top Gainesville Hotel Reviews

La Quinta by Wyndham Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Great place. Very spacious. Good breakfast."

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Surprisingly good facility! Efficient and friendly front desk. Room was very nice. First time traveling with a pet, so received a "pet friendly" room, no carpet and nice area near a wall for our doggy bed. Quiet even though the Interstate was about 100 yards from the window. We often stay with Red Roof, and this was probably the nicest one we have stayed at."

"The hotel lobby was nice and clean. The front desk allowed me to check in 15 minutes early, which I greatly appreciated. The room was clean and comfortable with plenty of pillows and towels. I will definitely return."

Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown

8/10 Good

"Our room has some areas that had not been cleaned properly. There was food debris on the floor around the refrigerator. The only negative about the Hotel is that there is no parking other than a parking garage ($30 a night) a few blocks away or street parking after 8PM. You have to compete with restaurants and businesses for street parking. We needed to leave the hotel at 5am and it was a dark and uncomfortable walk to the garage. A valet would have been nice."
