Hallways and room smelled bad Dark bathroom Room's A/C unit uncleaned Overall Hotel did not seem well cared-for
Great property located very close and walking distance to UF and shopping. They are now pet friendly which makes it the perfect hotel for us for when we are coming up for an event or to visit our daughter.
The location is ideal, next to UF’s campus and not far from downtown. A very good pizza restaurant is conveniently located on the first floor and Target is just across the street. However, the building is old, the room furniture is in disrepair and the cleaning standards are very poor for a rate of $350/night. There was hair on the walls of the shower and behind the bathroom door, an old contact lense stuck to the countertop, an A/C unit you can’t turn off, an office chair ripped on the arm rests and seat, and a toilet that wouldn’t stop running. Overall, I’ve stayed in much better Holiday Inns. This one is at the bottom of the corporate care list.
Everything was convenient and properly handled if there were any issues.
Great n friendly staff. Very helpful. Inhouse dining great
Didn’t like the construction. The pool was nice but wasn’t the cleanest. The rooms were clean and spacious. Our bathroom had a hole in the wall of the shower, but it was clean. Right in the middle of town and very walkable. Overall, it was nice.
Honestly friendly staff from front desk, to maids, to van driver. An on-demand free shuttle to and from Gainesville Airport. Keurig coffee. Oranges, apples. A small super-quiet frig. Packaged muffins and pastries available. Location.
Location is the ONLY THING this hotel offers. Moldy and damp smell in rooms. Found another hotel for seasonal use. Will not return, not worth the location to have sinus issues.
Nice size room, adjacent to campus and excellent mattresses and pillows.
The best thing about this hotel is the location - directly across the street from the campus. Everything else looks pretty much like it did when I graduated - which was in 1980! This place needs a major refresh, although I guess the location is enough to keep them in business. The pizzeria next door is pretty good. And, the beds are fairly comfortable. Otherwise, unless being right across the street from UF is important to you, stay somewhere newer and less tired.
Not the nicest Holiday Inn I have stayed at and there is no breakfast included in the rate, however, it is very close to campus and the beds are really comfortable. It really needs an update, but serves the purpose and the staff makes up for the outdated decor. I would stay here again.
The hotel is located very close to campus - that's great. But the facilities (including rooms) are rather sub-standard (like in a 3-star hotel). Noise from a very busy intersection.
Easy parking, and convenient online parking and quick registration. Also, the hotel staff is very friendly, trying very hard to solve customers' problems. We feel at home. In addition, the coffee is very good.
