Underwater Home w/Game Room ~6 min to Stadium & Downtown / 2 King Beds &Fire Pit
We had a great stay in this house. Very cute decorations…very well done. The house is older but very comfortable. A perfect amount of space for the 3 of us. Located close enough to everything but also far enough away from the craziness.

Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida
Really nicely designed and well maintained. Rooms very comfortable. Be aware if driving - it’s valet only parking at $25/day which is very steep for Gainesville

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands
Room was clean. Couldn’t get the temp exactly but it wasn’t too much of an issue. Check in was exactly at 3, couldn’t get in earlier. Breakfast was good. Best thing I can say is that I would stay again if needed.
