Top Columbia Rise Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Alachua - Gainesville Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The location was great. Everything was just a short distance from the hotel. The staff was friendly. My kids enjoyed the pool. The room was clean."

High Springs Country Inn

10/10 Excellent

"On the outside, this place looks like a 1950's-era roadside motel, so our room (116) was a pleasant surprise. It was clean and looked like it had been remodelled recently - new floors etc. The AC is a basic unit on the wall but that's what you'd expect. It worked great to mitigate the July Florida heat. The room itself was quite spacious and the beds were comfortable. There was a mini-fridge with a small working freezer, and a microwave, There was a decent rack for hanging clothes. Parking was good. I would have two suggestions for improvement. One would be to add some shelving or furniture where people can put their stuff. This place caters to cave divers and I imagine they share rooms. With all their gear, I bet they'd appreciate more places to get things off the floor. My other suggestion would be to use some of the extra floor space to enlarge and upgrade the bathroom. It's quite small. The sink is a tiny wall hanger with barely space under the faucet to wash your hands, and no counter space to keep toiletries. The shower worked but it was difficult to control the temperature. One note - we had three people and there was only one set of a bath towel, washcloth, and hand towel. I had to go ask at the desk for two more sets, but the clerk was very nice about getting me more when I asked. Overall, I would recommend this place to anyone travelling the area on a budget. We used it because of its convenient location relative to Itchetucknee State Park."

Cozy Log Cabin Retreat on the Santa Fe River – Nature, Kayaking & Relaxation!

10/10 Excellent

"The property was amazing, and the cabin was spacious, comfortable, and very clean. I wish more people could see this slice of what Florida really offers. We will return, for sure. This was a gift for our grandchildren, and they absolutely loved it all, especially the fishing and kayaking. The location was super convenient for taking them on the Ichetucknee River tube run--a must-do while that close. We appreciated having wood for the fire and the kids made s'mores on our last night. It is remote, so we cooked all our meals while we were there, but found what we needed to fix all our meals in the well-stocked kitchen. As a coffee drinker, I brought my own Keurig cups but I thought it was super nice to have a great assortment for guests. There are so many "little" things that make this a great location."
