HOM Hotel Gainesville, SureStay Collection by Best Western

10/10 Excellent

"Great location, close to everything. Clean room and excellent breakfast. Friendly people and easy check in and out."

Holiday Inn Gainesville - University Center by IHG

8/10 Good

"The staff were amazing. The pool however was not! It was FULL of green algae and definitely needs a facelift. Not sure why it wasn't done considering they spent some time upgrading the pool deck and furniture. There was also an attempt to upgrade the rooms but one odd thing we noticed is they left the bathtub but no way for it to function as a bathtub. It only had a shower head which was odd. Great location if you're visiting UF."

8/10 Good

"The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We witnessed one staff member offered to drive some people to their destination due to the significant cost of a rideshare. They were trying to arrange. The rooms were clean. Adequate towels. Mini fridge a microwave functioned great. Window AC unit function adequately. Furniture had some wear. We didn’t use the pool but it looked nice and clean. There’s a single laundry unit for pays you go on the third floor and ice available. Our stay was quiet at night even on a busy day due to all of the guests staying there for events going on in town. Parking was easy adequate space even on a busy weekend. We did not experience the breakfast. Be aware that the hotel does not have elevators, but there are two stairwells to access the halls for the rooms. Reminds me of Europe traveling. Not a problem for us but could be for others. The only downside was someone was smoking outside of the hotel and the window unit brought this into the room. There are plenty of signs that request people to smoke over 25 feet away from the building, so I’m not sure what else could be done to prevent this. For the value and service, we would stay here again."
