Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel"

HOM Hotel Gainesville, SureStay Collection by Best Western

8/10 Good

"This is a decent well maintained mid budget hotel. My only criticism was we arrived after 10 pm and a semi truck was taking a whole row of parking spaces and the solution since there was no parking was that I could park next door at the Cracker Barrell??? Not ask a truck to move."
