Gainesville Lake Alice Hotels

"Breakfast buffet and cafe both need some significant overhauls for food quality and selection. "

"Overall a great stay ! "

"Breakfast disappointed big time!"

"Fine experience overall. The elevator smelled terrible."

"The best thing about Hotel Eleo was its staff. The bed wasn't so bad either. But the worst thing was that horrible Nespresso coffee maker. When first booking the room and seeing the amenities, I ordered my favorite coffee in a Nespresso pod to use. Terrible. Foamy and bitter - no matter which brand of coffee used. But the nearness to Shands was such a plus and the availability of the shuttle service to the hospital 24/7 certainly outweighed the bad coffee. And with the Opus coffee kiosk in the hospital lobby, I was ok. I had breakfast one day and then lunch another day at the restaurant there. Both were great. And William, the bartender/server made me feel as if we were old friends. If a visit to Shands was ever in the future, I would stay at the Eleo again...but I'd pack my little Keurig! "

"Room was basic but clean. Beds were comfortable. "

"This review is to be a warning to other consumers. The pictures of this property as presented on this site, are not a true presentation of this property. They are embellished and not real. This property is a total dump!!! It is an old and very disgusting hotel that has tried to improve its look by renovating the rooms and lobby with cheap materials and cheap remodeling. First of all, the hotel exterior is enough to make you vomit and scared to even go inside. Indoors have such a terrible smell, that you might as well go to a motel or hostel. You won't be able to breath. The so-called "remodeling" was done to cover up the low-quality rooms, but it is absolutely terrible. There are cracks and stains and mold everywhere. The beds are gross with stains too. If all this was not enough to turn you away, beware of the COCKROACHES IN THE ROOM!! I have pictures of all of this and will try to post them here. I stayed in this hotel only because it was half price of the other places, and i still regret it. I might be scarred for a long time, it was so disgusting!! Yuck "

"Meds are good. Lodging was good. Wouldn't recommend eating in the restaurant"
