Top Downtown Gainesville Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown

8/10 Good

"Overall a good stay, nice room, decent breakfast, good location"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Alachua - Gainesville Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay! The hotel is newer, very clean, and well maintained. The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming, which made our stay even more enjoyable. Everything was great, and we would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a nice, comfortable place to stay. We would happily stay here again!"

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Surprisingly good facility! Efficient and friendly front desk. Room was very nice. First time traveling with a pet, so received a "pet friendly" room, no carpet and nice area near a wall for our doggy bed. Quiet even though the Interstate was about 100 yards from the window. We often stay with Red Roof, and this was probably the nicest one we have stayed at."
