The only downside is the parking. There is no parking at the hotel and the area might be difficult ...

DoubleTree by Hilton Gainesville
The room was spotless and the staff were great. My only problem the parking lot had no handicap parking the most direct route from the parking lot to the hotel entrance was over a high curb stone and down another high curb on the other side. Or you had to follow the driveway around
