Top University Heights Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

10/10 Excellent

"Great staff. Well worth the price and good location."

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

8/10 Good

"The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The drapes did not fit the window very well so the sun light flowed in much earlier than we wanted. The shower was due for replacement but the water pressure was good. Their AC and small refrigerator worked well. It was not fancy but it was what we needed."

Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel staff were professional and welcoming. Room was clean and well organized. Breakfast was excellent. I have never encountered a hotel like this. If I will to visit Gainesville Florida again, this will be my hotel to spend the night. It’s a hotel like no other."
