Top Cultural Plaza Hotel Reviews

HOM Hotel Gainesville, SureStay Collection by Best Western

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent and renovated hotel. Everything was nice, very clean and a great location. Highly recommend."

Drury Inn & Suites Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room. Good friendly staff. Nice location."

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

8/10 Good

"The staff was excellent, prompt, and extremely helpful! We needed help with the TV and the staff was very attentive and quickly solved the problem. The room had an odd smell and felt damp, but understandable in humid Florida! It was a convenient location and the AC was cold!"

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for UF Family weekend. We booked early, and the rate wasn’t too inflated. Things really book up around that time and there is price gouging, so we chose an affordable hotel. The staff was very kind and helpful and made us aware of amenities. They offered a shuttle for the UF football game. Your stay includes free breakfast. Coffee, fresh popcorn and cookies are available most of the day. The condition of the elevator and the carpet and chair in our room needed some attention. The hotel has a bit of a damp or musty smell. We went nose blind to it pretty quickly, though. I know moisture is a big challenge in Florida. The bed and pillows were quite comfortable, and my teenage son said he slept like a baby on the sofa bed, for which the front desk gave us clean sheets, blanket and pillow. Overall, a positive experience. We would stay here again."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Gainesville, FL

10/10 Excellent

"All good"

Hilton University of Florida Conference Center Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Only thing I didn’t like was the breakfast vouchers that essentially cover nothing so don’t feel like you’re getting any perk all I really want you to do is go down and buy their breakfast"

Comfort Suites Gainesville near University

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast but the trash bins by the elevators weren't cleaned out regularly and therefore smelled a bit funky."

Hilton Garden Inn Gainesville

8/10 Good

"don't get the breakfast.. it's the exact same food they serve for free except at this hotel they charge $19.35. it's definitely not worth it. everything else was fine. they only clean the rooms every other day"

Aloft by Marriott Gainesville University Area

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel but the breakfast was gross 2/10 plus we had to pay for it. If I am paying for breakfast it better be damn good. I have traveled to Europe and paid for hotel breakfasts spreads. This was just hard to swallow."
