Top Florida National Scenic Trail Hotel Reviews

Comfort Suites Gainesville near University

8/10 Good

"Breakfast staff were helpful and friendly. Most of the staff were nice. Room was 90% clean"

Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida

10/10 Excellent

"Wonderful and well maintained property. All staff were very friendly and helpful."

Hilton University of Florida Conference Center Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. However, it would make the room more enjoyable if they would invest in a dehumidifier. Because the area is so warm, humidity can cause a sort of odor in the rooms. Keeping the a/c on can make the stay too cold rather than comfortable. Check in was easy however it seemed the room was currently being utilized when I checked in. However, they were able to upgrade and accommodate with a better room. Overall, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were clean."

Gainesville Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Staff was super nice and helpful. Great location"

Sweetwater Branch Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at this beautiful hotel was amazing. Great service by all staff. Excellent food and spectacular grounds."

Home2 Suites by Hilton Gainesville Medical Center

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was just okay, otherwise enjoyed the hotel stay. Would stay there again."

Depot Village

8/10 Good

"Our biggest issue was the setup of the bathroom. With no shower curtain or door, anytime we took a shower, the floor and everything else in the small space got wet and made the floor slippery. The hot water didn't last long either. The only other issue was there is nowhere to just sit in the living space other than two small stools at the bar. Would love to have had somewhere to sit other than the bed."

Value Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Was a very clean room and quiet"

Grand Two Bedroom Two Bathroom Apartment with Balcony by The Scholar

10/10 Excellent

"Only would be improved if the blinds were darker. Some street noise but slept just fine."
