...this is one of my favorites. Nearing my 250th day away from home this year I’ve stayed in ‘em all. Anytime I even get close to Alachua this is where you’ll find me. If it’s summer I’ll be splashing in the pool, or just a grilling away all year long. They have a great fire pit. The staff is friendly & I can always expect a great extended stay rate. With king size beds that are big enough for a man & soft enough for a woman everyone should be pleased. Most rooms have a work desk for when business needs getting done.
As a working man I sometimes get too lazy to grill, so I just head across the street to Sonny"s or down the block to Kazbor's Grill. Close to everything I need without the bustle of Gainesville, just 15 minutes away. I'll be hear throught the New Year, come on down & get a rib.

We booked a room for one night at this hotel via the Travelocity. com website. We chose it for the price and the convenient location based on the fact that it is one of the Choice family of hotels.
We arrived at the hotel at 3:45 p.m. (15 minutes before official check in time). The front desk told us that our room was not quite ready yet but that we could wait and it would be ready shortly. After several trips to the room to check on their progress, we finally were able to take occupancy of the room at 5:15.

The air conditioner was not running so the room was quite uncomfortable as this was a hot, humid day in Florida and the door to the room had been standing open for at least an hour and a half.

After the football game, we placed some items of perishable food in the refrigerator. The next morning when we started packing up to leave, I opened the refrigerator only to discover that it had apparently quit running sometime during the night and all of our food was ruined.

When I took my shower, the water temperature was difficult to adjust. The water would come out of the faucet at the perfect warm temperature but when the shower was turned on it was scalding hot.

My husband found a live cockroach in his bath towel.

The housekeeping staff pounded on our door at 9:30 a.m. when check out was clearly indicated as 11:00 a.m.

The electrical outlet apparently meant for the coffeemaker was not working so we had to set the coffeemaker over the sink while it was brewing the coffee. Clearly an unsafe situation.

To be fair, I must include that the room itself did not appear dirty or in bad repair so we were disappointed when we discovered all of the above equipment problems. However, the biggest disappointment was the total lack of acknowledgement on the staff's part that it ended up taking a full hour and a half for us to get into the room. I would caution travelers considering staying here to sit down in the lobby as a constant reminder to the front desk personnel that you are still waiting to occupy your room.

  • Liked — The location was convenient and affordable.
  • Disliked — The staff's apathy about getting our room ready for occupancy.

Management response from Alachua Quality Inn, General Manager
(Management representative)
18 Oct 2008
I would like to apologize for your less than exceptional stay at the Alachua Quality Inn. We strive to provide our guests with nice clean rooms and friendly customer service at an affordable price.

As a member of Choice Hotels we stand by our 100% satisfaction guarantee and would have loved the opportunity to adress the following with you prior to your departure.

In an effort to combat the Florida "critters" like the palmetto bug you found we have our entire property seviced by Terminex . Our air conditioners are turned off to use less energy and from time to time this does cause a small inconvenience to a guest, please understand that this is done to comply with the Florida Green Lodging requirements. It is our goal to have rooms available for guests to check in as early as 4:00 however on a Gator home game weekend with 90,000 fans in town checking into approx 5,000 hotel rooms short wait times can be unavoidable.

Once again I apologize for the inconveniences and would love the opportunity to accommodate your lodging needs on your next visit to the Gainesville area.

Hospitably,

Angel Fletcher
General Manager
Alachua Quality Inn

This is an old Holiday Inn that has been converted to a Quality Inn. While it was clean and well kept, there was certainly nothing special about it. For one thing, they need more and more accessible plugs. Breakfast was pretty dismal. The desk clerks were warm and friendly. For the night, just passing through it seemed a bit pricey and not a very good value. Look elsewhere if you can.

I booked my room at this Quality Inn, for my daughter's graduation from UF. I called the hotel and spoke with Katheryn Porter and requested an early check in due to the time my daughter was graduating. They went above and beyond to have my room ready for me. The room was spotless and comfortable. All the employees that I came in contact with were very polite and extremely helpful. They had such pleasant personalities. I would definitely stay there again and recommend it to my friends. Katheryn Porter, I thank you and your employees.
