Top Downtown Gainesville Hotel Reviews

Best Western Gateway Grand

10/10 Excellent

"It’s an older property but the price was right and the night auditor has been there forever and he’s super nice and helpful. There’s a Dairy Queen and several restaurants nearby. The DQ is within walking distance."

Hilton University of Florida Conference Center Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean. However, it would make the room more enjoyable if they would invest in a dehumidifier. Because the area is so warm, humidity can cause a sort of odor in the rooms. Keeping the a/c on can make the stay too cold rather than comfortable. Check in was easy however it seemed the room was currently being utilized when I checked in. However, they were able to upgrade and accommodate with a better room. Overall, the staff were friendly and helpful, and the facilities were clean."

Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown

8/10 Good

"Room was clean, but very warm when I first arrived. Front desk rep said A/C only runs when someone is in the room. I was worried it would still be 79 degrees when I returned at night. It cooled down nicely, even without me there. :) I only stayed two nights so did not have room cleaned/serviced, but the cleaning staff provided me with new towels when I caught them cleaning other rooms. The breakfast is always good. Would definitely stay there again, only on off game weekends though because the hotel is too expensive during game/event weekends."

Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay in hotel Eleo, it is very close to the Florida University veterinary hospital and to the campus. We had breakfast and had dinner at the restaurant every day, we were sitting with our dog in the outside patio. The bathroom was spotless clean and the front desk and valet very accomodating."
