Top Downing Lake Hotel Reviews

HOM Hotel Gainesville, SureStay Collection by Best Western

10/10 Excellent

"For value this hotel in Gainsville, FL takes a lot of beating. Good breakfast, beds, shower, towels and free parking together with some good eateries and bars within walking distance"

TownePlace Suites by Marriott Gainesville Northwest

10/10 Excellent

"We loved that our room had a kitchen suite including pots, pans, dishware and utensils. Love to cook! The dishwasher was the icing on the cake. Room was clean and the ac worked well - especially since it was 97 degrees outside! See you in a few weeks."

La Quinta by Wyndham Gainesville

8/10 Good

"Overall the room was clean. Housekeeping seemed to miss the small things, coffee stains on the cubby and spider webs on the lights. Breakfast was good and the coffee was the best I’ve ever had at a hotel (I like a strong coffee). The downside was other hotel guest yelling on their phones while walking up and down the hall, and others playing grabass pushing each other out of the rooms (they were from a restoration company staying at the hotel) can’t blame the hotel for that."

Quality Inn Alachua - Gainesville Area

8/10 Good

"Staff was great. Rooms are aging and aren't "clean in the corners", but acceptable for the price. Pool was great, but a net for removing bugs would have been nice. We picked 1 up after the first day, as pool bugs are expected, but should be netted daily, or at least a net available, Beds and bedding comfortable. Great water pressure and hot water. Ice Macines and laundry have been updated. Breakfast was the low point. We were there for 5 nights, and there were no eggs or meat restocked on the buffet any day that we were there. Pretty much waffles, apples, and cereal. We had to leave the hotel daily for an acceptable meal. This is my experience this year which has improved (other than breakfast) from consecutive stays over the last 7 years. ."
