Comfort Suites Gainesville near University

10/10 Excellent

"I liked every visit to this property. But, I needed some laundry detergent and they were out. I know some times supplies run out."

Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida

10/10 Excellent

"There's a good variety of food everything was good. The room was kept clean with new towels and sheets while I was away. A late checkout option would be helpful."

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

10/10 Excellent

"The facilities were clean and the staff was excellent. Perfect place for gator game day with the complementary shuttle from the hotel to the stadium and back."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Gainesville, FL

10/10 Excellent

"Quick and easy to the interstate and close to good dinning options."

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

8/10 Good

"It’s the red roof ya know. This was still a nice stay mainly because of the staff being so friendly, we all enjoyed the pool my daughter especially and they allow 1 pet to stay for free so we were able to bring along our dog! We did have to request a new room our first night there - the one they originally gave us was extremely broke down and honestly shouldn’t be allowed to be rented out until the several Required repairs are complete, BUT they didn’t give us any hassle. Just went back down to the front desk requested something else and they gave a cleaner/better room on the same floor which made moving easy peasy. I’ve stayed here before in the past and it’s always an ok experience as far as quality goes, but you can’t beat the rate + location + great staff & the pool was clean and cool which makes up for quality in my opinion."
