10/10 Excellent

"Great place for short stay"

Drury Inn & Suites Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is great in every respect including the price. On top of everything else, they offer a complete free high-quality buffet from 5:30pm to 7pm that easily replaces a dinner, at least it did for us. Next time I travel, I'll look for Drury Inn."
