Me and family had a great time staying at the Hampton Inn in Gainesville’s. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The rooms was very clean and comfortable.

We were there to help move in my daughter. The hotel is right off Archer Road exit. Easy to find. Plenty of parking. The hotel and rooms are little older style but did the job. The rooms ar comfortable and clean. They had daily room service which was nice to come back to the room after long days helping with move in and shopping for essentials. Rhe hotel had daily complimentary breakfast but it was the same everyday. No big deal especially for quick grab and go. The room had microwave and mini fridge...standard features in most hotel rooms. Overall pleased with our stay and good value for the money.

Had a good time in Gainesville

Hampton Inns are very consistent. The room is nice and the free breakfasts are great. The only two negatives were the A/C and the housekeeping. They ran behind one day and couldn't get the bed made and the towels changed. So I asked one of the housekeeping staff if she could give me towels and she said no. So I had to go downstairs to get them. The A/C was set on 76 and it was very hot outside so I tried to turn it down. It would come on for 15 mins and then turn off without having brought the temperature of the room down to the desired setting I'm not sure why. But overall, I would stay there again. The desk staff was very nice

My stay was a terrible experience. The room had a strong smell of smoke, and the bathroom had an unpleasant sewage odor. It was located directly in front of the parking lot, making it very noisy throughout the night. The room itself felt extremely outdated and poorly maintained. Disappointing overall.

Hotels.com is doing false advertising because the room was not looking like the pictures online The room was looking very dark and the furniture looked nothing like the pictures and looked so old and outdated and the cleanliness is questionable since there was a dead cockroach in the room

The manager, Kathleen, is wonderful. She checked us in and treated us like we were family. In the room, I’d say it needs glassware or something other than the paper coffee cups for iced beverages. The paper ones were disintegrating. I love that they have self pour taps in the lobby for wine and beer, though I didn’t partake this time. We had a situation where my wife slipped and fell on the recently mopped tile by the elevator bay. No major injury, but the front desk agent, Juliana, and Kathleen handled it so well. We are very impressed and appreciative.
