Pros: 1) The hotel is in a great location. 2) Free shuttle service to various locations in Gainesville, including the airport (pick-up and drop-off) is a real bonus for those with no car. 3) free internet service with two computers and printer in lobby for those without laptop; free wifi service in rooms. 4) Room is of adequate size and... more

Pros: Clean Great location if you're visiting the school Great service Free drink coupons at the restaurant if you're Priority Club (try the chicken philly, it's fantastic) Cons: Old Musty smelling rooms Fitness room is barebones A decent value, and even though it's older, not a bad place. more

This is a fairly old Holiday Inn (It would have to be -- it was there when I was a student! Go Gators!), but it has been completely refurbished and is very nice. It isn't elegant, but it is modern and clean and a good, solid choice. The location is UNBEATABLE -- right on the corner of University and 13th... more

Our stay at this hotel was great. My husband was having surgery at Shands & the hotel offers complimentary shuttle service to & from the hospital. The hotel was clean and the service by the staff was impeccable; they went above & beyond to meet all of my needs while I was there. I would not hesitate to stay here... more

This hotel is a older hotel but right next to the University. I stayed here for business in Hawthorne, FL and it was a straight shot. You get vouchers when you check in for drinks and breakfast at the hotel restaurant so not a bad deal. Front desk staff were very friendly outgoing and helpful. Had trouble last time with... more

We are seasoned travelers and did not expect much. However, we were pleasantly surprised. The staff is exceptionally friendly and accomodating. A late check-out request was "no problem". The location is great--walking distance to everything. The rooms were clean. It served our purpose of a place to sleep while we looked at the school perfectly. Keep your expectations reasonable and... more

Housekeeping was in a hurry to get me out and if I left my room after they did my floor they were not coming back. I complained twice and on the second time the manager gave me a free night out of 7. The 5th floor rooms were redone and nice enough. If it wasn't for the location I doubt... more

Friendly staff and good rooms. Multi million dollar renovation could have been directed a little more to improving the condition of the bathrooms as it really loks antiquated. Good location but again it is Gainesville! The whole place is barely 5-10 miles! They have a friendly pick up service from the airport and to the hospital. May return if price... more

I stayed at the hotel for one night prior to surgery at UF/Shands hospital, then my mother and friend stayed for a full week after my surgery until I was released from the hospital. We chose the hotel mainly due to their shuttle service to the hospital, and their closeness to the hospital. They couldn't have been better hosts to... more
