Top Gainesville Hotel Reviews

Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida

10/10 Excellent

"Newer and clean with spacious rooms and dog friendly"

Hilton University of Florida Conference Center Gainesville

8/10 Good

"I recently stayed at the Hilton in Gainesville and had a mixed experience. The hotel itself is beautiful, very well-maintained, and tastefully decorated. My room was clean, the bed was very comfortable, and I had a nice view of the city. One of my favorite features was the lovely courtyard with a beautiful tree surrounded by mature trees draped in Spanish moss, which created a peaceful and inviting atmosphere. Unfortunately, the service did not match the quality of the property. The front desk staff were not very attentive or welcoming. Both at check-in and check-out, they seemed bothered to assist me rather than providing a friendly greeting or making me feel like a valued guest. I also had breakfast at the hotel's restaurant, and the experience was disappointing. The service was slow and inattentive, especially considering the high prices. The coffee tasted old and muddy, which was an unpleasant start to the day. On a positive note, the hotel is conveniently located just a short drive from many excellent restaurant options, making it easy to find better dining nearby. Overall, I would recommend the hotel for its attractive accommodations, comfortable rooms, and convenient location. However, I hope management focuses on improving customer service, as a more welcoming and attentive staff would make a significant difference in the overall guest experience."
