Top Downtown Gainesville Hotel Reviews

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

4/10 Poor
"This place is a definitely one night stay. We got price gouged because of the Morgan Wallen concert. But every hotel in the area was taking advantage of it. As far as the room it smelled liked bad body odor and cigarettes. If I'm not mistaken this was not a smoking section of the hotel if there is even any. The bathroom door was rotten borrom right near the tub, and water leaks somehow from the shower in that area it was all over the floor we had to put towels down unaware of where it was coming from. The bed sheets smelled as if they didn't change them, and same with the pillow covers. If it wasn't because we got there around 3:00 in the morning from the concert I would have just left. I'll never stay at this place again."
