Holiday Inn Gainesville - University Center by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff was very welcoming. The rooms are nice and clean. The parking is a plus! The hotel is conveniently located across the street from the university."

Sweetwater Branch Inn

8/10 Good

"This would have been 5 stars except for one little thing--which can be a big thing to certain people. Need to watch out for the use of fragrances when cleaning/stocking the room. There waa a strong rosy smell and possible a laundry fragrance. That's not good for people who are fragrance sensitive."

AC Hotel by Marriott Gainesville Downtown

8/10 Good

"The room pretty clean, but needed some more towels"

Gainesville Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was perfect !! The staff incredible!!! I loved it"

Depot Village

8/10 Good

"Our biggest issue was the setup of the bathroom. With no shower curtain or door, anytime we took a shower, the floor and everything else in the small space got wet and made the floor slippery. The hot water didn't last long either. The only other issue was there is nowhere to just sit in the living space other than two small stools at the bar. Would love to have had somewhere to sit other than the bed."
