Gainesville hotellia

Plussat: Staff and room were great. We have stayed in many hotels in Gainesville, this is one we keep going back to.

Miinukset: Air conditioner blew on to the bed closest to it.

Plussat: The room size, cleanliness and breakfast buffet.

Miinukset: Rooms are small and noisy. We could hear people in the rooms next door . Not much insulation between walls of rooms .

Plussat: Convenient location

Miinukset: The stay was in May 2020, as we were coming out a COVID stay at home. There was no food service, the restaurants and bar were closed, and no room service. No facilities, e.g. gyn or pool, were available. There also were no room cleaning services during my 3 night stay...no clean towels (I had to ask the front desk), bed was not made. Disappointing for a Hilton. They did offer 1000 Hilton points. However, the price should have been discounted, noting the limited services.

Plussat: Convince

Miinukset: Clean

Miinukset: I was give a handicap room but my reservation confirmation was a normal room

Plussat: Bed was very comfortable

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: The information about menus and room service was not in the room. Also, when requesting hospitality package with toothbrush never arrived. Not dedicated areas to seat down and work or have coffee in between meals or meetings

Miinukset: The facility is really old and not clean. Furniture shows wear and tear on them The house keeping service is not very good. They don't clean well and they leave some I cleaned items like used glasses without exchanging them. They also do late house keeping service and they don't have an on call housekeeper if you need some cleaning at night which all four stars hotels do

Plussat: Friendly staff

Miinukset: The room was dirty. The hotel desperately needs a refresh. My room felt more like a cheap roadside motel. It certainly was not worth what I paid for it. I do not feel like I got the best for my money.

Miinukset: Would have liked complimentary breakfast.

Plussat: Location is good.

Miinukset: You need to be a member to get free wifi. Yeah in 2016 this hotel does not give free wifi. Staff rushed our check in experience to get back to texting. The level of service at this location does not meet the standards that Hilton has set. Not worth the money. Buyer beware.

Plussat: Comfortable, convenient, friendly

Miinukset: There are many plugs available but no USB availability. They say they are upgrading and some rooms may be updated but ours wasn't.

Plussat: (1) Free internet, (2)complementary airport service, (3) every clean, (4) "walk through" design of the closet, (5) everying you need

Plussat: The rooms are great. The hotel is as close to campus as possible. The hotel itself is very nice, as evidenced by the people who got married there. The staff is wonderful.

Miinukset: I did not like that my room did not have a fridge.

Plussat: convenient location, friendly staff, clean and comfortable room

Miinukset: noisy air conditioner (sounded like a jet taking off)

Plussat: Have stayed with them before and will return in the future. Thanks!

Plussat: The pet friendly room was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly.

Miinukset: My room faced I 75. The noise was awful. I got little sleep. Although the review states this is a "pet friendly" motel, they actually have a limited number of pet rooms. This should be noted in the hotel description and reservations made accordingly.

Plussat: price location

Plussat: Breakfast was okay

Miinukset: The room was run down and in disrepair, & wrinkled awful carpet. It was rated as “excellent ‘, which I based my booking on, and it’s far from it. No restaurants within reasonable walking distance either.

Plussat: The room staff and free breakfest

Miinukset: The bed matress sucked

Plussat: The location was perfect for my needs: centrally located and near main thoroughfares. The room was comfortable and clean, though not spectacular (decent size, though the decor was a bit dated). The breakfast was above average. The price was good.

Miinukset: There was some traffic noise because it was next to the interstate, but rooms away from traffic were higher in price. I did not use the dresser because the drawers smelled like the previous user was a smoker and put all of his smelly clothes in there.

Miinukset: Bed bugs

Miinukset: There was never anyone the front desk. I had to wait a couple minutes and then obnoxiously yell "HELLO" for someone to come out of the back. They took my towels out of my room and found out they never replaced them AFTER I took a shower. It took them about 15 minutes for them to deliver clean towels. When they assigned my room card, I had to come back multiple times to the front desk since it wouldn't work at my door, which was really frustrating.

Plussat: Easy check in/out, cookies and coffee in lobby all the time, hot tub and pool, free wifi in room

Miinukset: Woke up with multiple bites on my legs. Sheets were old and had holes and stains. Housekeeping service was variable. One day towels and sheets replaced, place felt clean. Other day bed was made but sheets not changed. Old and run down bathroom, paint chipping off walls, rust in sink and tub. Musty and damp smell in general. You can definitely tell this is a much older place attempting a rebranding. Needs an overhaul of the facilities, and an exterminator

Plussat: Staff was very pleasant. Clean.

Miinukset: Wish breakfast had some scrambled eggs. Instead there was some pizza egg thing.

Plussat: Free breakfast

Miinukset: Hotel IDF located right in highway. Rooms have poor isolation and cars noise is disturbing a good night sleep

Plussat: Very helpful staff. I had been waiting for a fax to arrive at the hotel number and in the mean time they let me use the business center even well after my checkout. This was very useful for me. They also carried the fax to the business center when it arrived.

Miinukset: Had to park a little far at night when I was least willing to walk.

Plussat: GUEST OFFICE SAVED THE DAY WE HAD A DRINK SPILL ON SOME FORMS THAT WE NEED MY WIFE RAN DOWN TO THE OFFICE SAVED THE DAY. THE BREAKFAST IN LOBBY IS NICE WE ENJOYED ARE STAY

Miinukset: USB CHARGING PORTS ARE 1.0A OK FOR A PHONE NOT A TABLET A TABLET NEEDS 2.0A

Plussat: Convenient location, easy parking, good hot breakfast every morning, quiet room, friendly staff. Perfect for business trip - one less thing I had to worry about.

Miinukset: Nothing really; reason why I have stayed twice now when on business.

Plussat: Free breakfast. Clean room. Polite staff.

Miinukset: The room had a slight stale smell, which even with the A/C on would persist.

Plussat: Staff was excellent. The lady at the check in went above and beyond helping my elderly mother to the room

Plussat: I enjoyed the breakfast buffet because it also had a nice selection of fruit and a wonderful fruit medley. Of coarse it had the regular breakfast items.

Miinukset: We really could not sleep well,because our room was attached to a adjoining room and that room kept there tv on all night loud. We ask for another room but there were no other non- smoking room available. I think they should work on sound proofing these rooms for people who would just like a good night sleep. Needless to say we were tired at our meeting next day.

Plussat: It was clean and comfy.

Miinukset: A bit pricey, but it was worth getting away for a few days!

Plussat: Everything in this hotel is Excellent. The best hotel for the price. We definitely come back.

Plussat: Staff was extremely friendly. Everything was clean!

Miinukset: There was an occasional dog bark. Never at night though.

Plussat: Close to main highway and loads of food options. They are also pet friendly with no extra charge so dogs and cats are fine.

Plussat: Front desk employee was very nice and efficient

Miinukset: Tv wasn’t working. Bed was terrible. Sheets and cover eere terrible.. rooms felt stuffy

Plussat: Everything. Nice friendly staff. Excellent location.

Plussat: Room modernized and looked new. Near lots of food and shopping.

Miinukset: Hotel is in a very busy area. Mattress not bad but could be more comfortable.

Plussat: Staff was friendly and very accommodating.

Miinukset: Very basic, no breakfast, cockroaches in room 203, so we asked to move to another room.

Miinukset: No breakfast offered.

Plussat: Rooms was very clean !nd the floor was great to walk on.

Miinukset: Everything was good

Miinukset: Heater didn't work! All night was cold!!!

Miinukset: 1st room the heat didn't work, shower still had soap bubbles on walls, and hair in it. Beds had hair under covers. Changed rooms; heat worked, but this room too had hair on shower walls. Beds were worn out and lumpy, as we're the pillows. Will never use a red roof again

Plussat: Pet friendly, comfortable beds and good location.

Miinukset: The first room we were put in smelled strongly of chemicals, so we switched. The second was musty and damp.

Miinukset: Room smelled musty like there was previous water issue.

Miinukset: No washcloths in room. Food on top of fridge, linen smelled like smoke and linen was not changed, sheets crinkled as if someone had just got out of the bed, did not even stay left before midnight.. It was the worst stay for $160

Plussat: The rate

Miinukset: Bed was hard, small pillows were very flat, room smelled like someone had smoked in it

Plussat: Kitchen with refrigerator was great for our needs. We were on a moving haul and needed somewhere to stash our freezer items from the old home. There are plenty of places to eat and shop, if you needed to, nearby. Plus the location right off the interstate is great for getting on and off the road in a hurry. We were also able to find a spot to park our 26 foot moving truck. Perfectly good place at a good price if you just need a place to crash.

Miinukset: Trash was overflowing from outdoor trashcans.

Miinukset: rust on exterior door, room was never cleaned, hair on shower certain, room smelled like mold

Plussat: The staff was courteous. The Breakfast was done very nicely.

Miinukset: The hallway carpet needed a good cleaning or replacement.

Plussat: Clean, quiet spacious room.

Miinukset: It's been over a week, and I still have not been refunded my $100 deposit for "incidentals!"

Plussat: The restaurant Gators Den

Miinukset: Outdated

Plussat: The hotel was close to family; the staff was friendly.

Miinukset: The bedding was not very comfortable. It wasn't soft; there was no extra blanket in the room. The following night I was at another hotel and the difference was noticeable.

Plussat: Location was right off the interstate, hotel was clean, room was nice.

Miinukset: Pillows were uncomfortable, and breakfast could have been better, $100. Incidentals charge held on credit card for too long.

Plussat: This trip was covered by the University of Florida, So I couldn't beat the price. The Staff were friendly and the overall impression was very positive indeed.

Miinukset: The building feels older. Everything works like you'd expect, but would not be my first choice location to take formal photos.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: There were dirty towels in the room and the a/c did not work. Told the staff about it and they said that maintenance would be there to fix and they did not fix it. Completely ruined the trip. Will not book here again. May only use hotels.com for one more trip (free night stay) and then be done. Very unhappy. No idea how this is a 3 star hotel.

Plussat: I loved the wood floors.. I would stay again

Miinukset: the Bathrooms need to be updated lot of rust and patch work, and roaches bathroom ..( not cool) Visit was 11/18-11/20 room 216

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: We forgot our orthopedic pillow in the room, and the hotel was absolutely not helpful with us trying to recuperate that pillow. Also requested an accessible room in the lower level because there is not an elevator in this hotel. Guess what??? Yes, they send me to the second floor. It was extremely hard and slept with chronic pain in my back and legs after all the stress climbing the stairs to the second floor.

Plussat: We liked the wood floors, pillows, cleanliness, all the basic amenities.

Miinukset: Cleaning chemical smell upon entering our room. Front desk check in guy said OK to my paying cash upon check out and proceeded to charge my card upon check in without telling me. Manager apologized.

Plussat: The beds seemed clean and the floors were fairly new laminate

Miinukset: There were a terrible musty smell through the entire hall. The outlet in the restroom was pushed into the wall and not supportive of a phone charger. When the front desk called to confirm everything was "perfect" we informed them of the smell and outlet and he didn't tell us anything helpful. When we asked about the smell later that night he told us it must have just been the air fresher they spray. The rooms were gross, the floor was sticky and moist, and other guests wee complaining also. We didn't even try the "free breakfast" since when we checked on we saw a large amount of the food still out from the morning before we checked in.

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: The room smell smoke even if I reserved a non smoking room

Plussat: The staff, location, and parking are nice.

Miinukset: The beds are rock hard, I had a roach crawl out from under the bed, and the toilet was not level. I don't know how to not make a toilet level but they figured it out.

Plussat: Room was really nice. Really close to stores and a few mile down from campus and downtown.

Miinukset: The fact that they didn't tell me that my room was a smoking one. when we went into our room you could smell the smoke, my boyfriend open a window to see if it would help eliminate the smell. We had to go febreze because we couldn't take the smell.there was iron or iron board again my boyfriend had to go to the front desk and get one.

Plussat: Nothing..

Miinukset: Everything about this place.. My mom and I were in Gainesville to bring my dog for radiation therapy and the vet hospital was not able to start her treatment last week so we only stayed 1 night only.. And They won't refund our money for the days we didn't stay.. Place is creapy an indoor motel that's "dog friendly" so you have to bring ur dog inside and up stairs.. Would Not Recommend This Motel To Anyone!!

Plussat: Breakfast was good Clean Good value

Miinukset: No carpet in room

Plussat: Very clean well maintained friendly staff breakfast- simple but sufficient Value

Miinukset: thin walls

Miinukset: Woke up to front desk manager pounding on my door and other doors in the hallway. Apparently they had overbooked and needed the room immediately. Every other hotel I have stayed at has allowed a one hour grace period for checking out so I asked about that. Staff informed me that due to overbooking I would need to leave the room as quickly as possible. When I checked out less than 5 minutes later without having the chance to shower or clean up, I mentioned this one hour grace period with other hotels but staff was dismissive and had a bad attitude. No plans to stay here again and will strongly reconsider before booking at other Super 8 locations. I ended up having to shower at a nearby gym where the customer service was much better. If you are trying to save money by booking with this hotel, consider that you may end up actually paying more if incidents like this one happen again.

Plussat: Ease of location

Miinukset: The room smelled very stale

Plussat: Nice staff and well kept facilities. Convenient location downtown

Plussat: Friendly and accomodating staff with clean rooms and comfy beds.

Miinukset: Nothing.

Plussat: The location was excellent, and the staff was friendly. The room was very nice. Pleasant breakfast.

Miinukset: I had to call the desk because the TV wouldn't change channels. Had to unplug and re-plug. Then it was fine.

Miinukset: Managers treats

Plussat: Room seemed clean with some updates.

Miinukset: Reserved two queens nonsmoking but what I was given was two doubles and smoking. Days inn was able to switch but said I was 'lucky' they had an open room. Thin doors and single pane glass with aluminum frames led to noisy rooms. Don't be fooled by the fancy facade at front of hotel. This is an old cheap building.

Plussat: The hotel just became a Quality Inn last week, as I was told. The room had been newly painted and the bathroom/vanity was new with nice tile, granite counter top.

Miinukset: No headboards on the bed and older-looking dresser and desk, which looked out of place in the newly painted room and updated bathroom.

Plussat: Sharing parking lot with 24 hour Walgreens gave better sense of safety than other options close to i75.

Miinukset: The fact that none of the lamps had actual switches to turn on, there were actual cigarette holes, and "unknown" stains on the actual blanket, UNDER the comforter that I already pulled back, these were on the blankets they want you to use to sleep with. So, being exhausted, I decided to just pull that blanket back too, lie on the sheets, close eyes and fall asleep. Then, as I did, I kept feeling itching, things jumping on me from the "clean" sheets. Yup bed bugs. Pure filth! When I asked the lady for money back and told her why, she didn't look surprised at all, and processed my void, with outa problem. Which was easy and nice, but how often does she hear these complaints, if it didn't alarm her at all?! It seemed like she wasn't shocked at all & knows exactly the filth that is going on there. Too bad since it's location was top notch.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Beds

Plussat: The staff was friendly and the breakfast wasn't terrible.

Miinukset: The cleanliness of the rooms, specifically the carpet. There were a lot of suspect individuals living there. I wouldn't venture to the pool after sundown and I'm a pretty big guy

Plussat: Leaving

Miinukset: The cleanliness of the hotel was subpar. There were dirty towels left in the room from the previous guests. There were dead bugs killed on the walls. The water pressure in the shower made it so I had to stand there for 30 minutes wasting water.

Miinukset: Very thin walls. Could hear more than I wanted to next door. Very dirty. Black hairs on the shower walls. Prepaid for 2 nights. Left after the first night

Plussat: it was a place to sleep and the air handler worked well. they are trying to make it a better place. it an old hotel, so you would have to see the rooms after the remodel.

Miinukset: beds needed to be replaced. light fixtures needed cover out let broken plates rooms needed better care.

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Everything

Plussat: Everything there was great, it may be my go-to hotel when traveling. Very spacious

Miinukset: Arrived only to find out they couldn't honor our reservation. Told us they were sorry.

Plussat: Nice pool, waffle maker on the breakfast bar, good size fridge/freezer. Housekeeping ran the dishwasher - non of the usual extended stay / condo rental guest responsibilities. Friendly desk and breakfast staff. Animals welcome for a fee, but they will be evicted if they cause a problem for the neighboring rooms. Self service laundry cheaper than a laundromat. Spacious room with plenty of surfaces and outlets. Good light and very effective blackout shades. Great water pressure and stable water temperature. Clean! Real dishes and glassware at breakfast and in the room and it was all very clean. WiFi worked.

Miinukset: Breakfast scramble and breakfast sandwiches came cold in cello wrap with a microwave oven for reheating. Fridge was not completely quiet. Smoke detector (?) flashed every minute or so. Aggressively softened water left me feeling unrinsed. Signs explain default housekeeping schedule, but housekeeping showed up when unexpected and asked me to sign an opt-out form when I declined service that day.

Plussat: In addition to the facilities being so much nicer than expected, the staff was incredible!!! Without exception every staff member we encountered was polite, helpful, resourceful, and courteous.

Plussat: Modern clean new

Miinukset: Did not like the 75 pet fee. My dog didn’t shed or make a mess or destroy anything. Should I have been charged 75? No. Should have been a deposit

Plussat: The breakfast was great.

Miinukset: Our room and bathroom were so outdated and dirty. Dirty carpets, dirty tub, dust around the room. I expect much better conditions for $250/night.

Plussat: I like the courteous staff especially the desk attendant at the desk in the evening, he exhibited great customer service and was very friendly. The bed was comfortable as well.

Miinukset: The bathroom in side our room smelled like that a a gas station. It emitted an odor even after cleaned.

Plussat: location value

Miinukset: parking building access breakfast

Plussat: The cleaning staffs, they are very nice!!

Miinukset: There was a young lady whose argue with me soon as I get here, which made me very unhappy with her, but that's okay, and she work at the front desk, they told this hotel I would arrive late Wednesday, n the change me still for Tuesday, not fair, should be only time people stay, that's highway robbery!

Miinukset: Complimentary breakfast was poor in nature. No one tended when food was out. Food area was not clean and quite messy. Selection was poor at best. - fitness center was broken down. I was not informed of this when i checked in even though i inquired about the location of the fitness center. - Shower tub in room was dirty

Plussat: comfortable beds, very nice updated rooms, decent breakfast. mini fridge was a +

Miinukset: nothing really, you could tell it was older but they were in the process of updating the hotel.

Plussat: Very comfortable rooms. Clean and staff was friendly. The breakfast had lots of items to choose from. We only stayed 1 night, but the kitchen was equipped nicely for a long stay. And the layout for the one bedroom was convenient traveling with a teen.

Plussat: Wonderful all suite hotel near I-75 in Gainesville. Extremely good location from he school and next to a least a dozen restaurants and good shopping for college needs. Very clean, nice pool, gym, laundry and very large units including full kitchen with full refrigerators. Highly recommend, reasonable price, very clean and lovely staff.

Plussat: Excellent rooms, breakfast and service, accepts pets. Comfortable room with sofa and kitchen area. I would stay there again.

Miinukset: In general, the room was clean, a few areas could have been cleaned better.

Plussat: Wonderful, homey yet hip feel to this place. It's quite vibrant, with comfy rooms and kind staff. Pool, teeny fitness center really makes active folks feel at home.

Miinukset: Being in Gainesville, it's typically full of young families. And with en-suite kitchens, it's also full of cooking smells and the sounds of kids. If you're into that, it's fine. If not--well, book higher floors where the noise level is lower. But wall insulation IS nice and thick!
