Top Lake Alice Hotel Reviews

DoubleTree by Hilton Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Great experience"

Comfort Suites Gainesville near University

8/10 Good

"I wasn’t very happy after my stay because I was charged $24.50 after checkout. I prepaid for the room and was asked for my credit card at check-in for a security deposit. After a week, the amount wasn’t credited back, so I called to find out when we could expect a refund. I was informed that was a parking/safe cost. There was no mention of this when we checked in or online when I made reservation. I questioned the person who answered and they said they would look into it and call me back. There still has been no return call."
