Top University of Florida Hotel Reviews

Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Great overall experience"

Drury Inn & Suites Gainesville

8/10 Good

"Great hot breakfast, nice beds and bathroom. Cable TV access was nice. Only not so great was the staff."

AC Hotel by Marriott Gainesville Downtown

8/10 Good

"The cons first: 1. The company that runs their valet service. - They refused to bring my car around when asked. Made me walk to their dirt/ mud parking lot across the street to retrieve my luggage. - their manager got defensive the next day, asking me why I didn't take my luggage earlier. I am not sure how that is any of his business. - Their job is to park and retrieve vehicles. 2. Minor - water pressure could be better but overall shower was good. The pros: 1. The hotel is clean and maintained. 2. The staff were great - esp Nisha (sp?). Friendly, Knowledgeable. Really gets the customer service component of the hotel business. Give her a raise! 3. Location. walkable to campus venues including the Swamp. Didn't use pool or sit at the bar, so no comments for those."

"Great location, clean and comfortable."

3 min walk to UF stadium, Tailgate, 10 guests

10/10 Excellent

"This house was great for large groups! You simply can't beat the location - a quick walk to the stadium and midtown. Our host was super accommodating and even was able to help us score some extra tickets to the football game! The only thing I would note is you do have to move your cars by Saturday morning if you're in town for a gameday, as the host sells parking in the backyard of the house. It wasn't really disruptive to us at all though! "
