Top Paynes Prairie Preserve State Park Hotel Reviews

Drury Inn & Suites Gainesville

"Very clean spacious room that was well equipped with a small fridge, microwave and coffee maker. The kickback in the evening with drinks and buffet style dinner is handy. We also enjoyed the hot fresh popcorn and sodas as well as the hot breakfast buffet."

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

10/10 Excellent

"Nice and clean"

Comfort Inn Gainesville - University Area

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed here twice over a week. Both times were nice and friendly. The rooms was clean and comfortable. I would totally stay here again. And being pet friendly was very nice as well."

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."
