Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida

"Good services"

Comfort Suites Gainesville near University

8/10 Good

"Good services"

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Well worth the price and good location."

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The drapes did not fit the window very well so the sun light flowed in much earlier than we wanted. The shower was due for replacement but the water pressure was good. Their AC and small refrigerator worked well. It was not fancy but it was what we needed."

Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff were professional and welcoming. Room was clean and well organized. Breakfast was excellent. I have never encountered a hotel like this. If I will to visit Gainesville Florida again, this will be my hotel to spend the night. It’s a hotel like no other."

WoodSpring Suites Gainesville I-75

8/10 Good

"I have stayed in several Woodspring Suites and always satisfied. I don’t need fancy, just need clean and safe. The mattress in my room might need to be changed. The room was a single and I think the bed was a full or double, wasn’t a queen. The mattress was a little more “worn” on the side by the bedside table. The other side remained more firm. Otherwise, no complaints. Front desk was always pleasant and helpful."

Hampton Inn Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"This whole place is great. Best ever for the inexpensive price. Everything excellent and even had beer on tap in lobby area. Great breakfast. Best 105 dollar hotel in the USA. Highly recommended"
