Top Thomas Center Hotel Reviews

Hampton Inn & Suites Gainesville-Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel, loved the location"

Sweetwater Branch Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at this beautiful hotel was amazing. Great service by all staff. Excellent food and spectacular grounds."

The Gator Manor – 6 Bedrooms Walk to UF / Stadium

8/10 Good

"house is huge! just what we needed. Everyone had their own room and bed. Keep in mind this is old florida home. Lots of character, but its an old home so dont be expecting anything fancy. We loved it. The first level is amazing for hanging out as a family. Each floor has its own a/c thermostat. There are lots of sidewalks so we took walk around the neighborhood."

Underwater Home w/Game Room ~6 min to Stadium & DT

10/10 Excellent

"The house was in a perfect location for everything we were doing dropping off our daughter for college. Quick access to restaurants and the apartment as well as shopping for move-in supplies. The host was great and the theme of the house was fun. We love the pool table and the beds were comfortable so we got a good night's sleep as we say goodbye."

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."

!!Duck Pond Charming 3bed 2 bath house!!

10/10 Excellent

"Convenient and quiet location, has good parking, spacious historic house."
