"Great clean place close to VA hospital where my husband was having surgery. Staff was super friendly and very helpful when we needed to extend or stay because my husband needed to stay the night in the hospital. However, I do have to mention that I believe one of the staff was using the designated handicapped parking spot with no ads signage. I understand the parking lot was mostly empty but those spots should only be taken by disabled people."

"Great place to stay!"

Comfort Suites Gainesville near University

10/10 Excellent

"Located close to UF, clean and a professional staff"

Holiday Inn Gainesville - University Center by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly staff and very clean rooms."

Gainesville Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"The young lady at check in was so nice. Very helpful sign above the bed where the light switches are or the side table cause we had to sleep with it on cause we couldn’t find it but otherwise everything was amazing."

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."
