Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown
Very well laid out room. Clean room as well. Free breakfast was great but didn’t appreciate how it was open to everyone- even non paying guests off the street.

Drury Inn & Suites Gainesville
Only stayed for one night and it was great! They offer breakfast & dinner with your stay and the food was good. The room was clean and smoke free (which is a big thing for me).
