Downtown Gainesville Hotel Deals
Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown
It’s a really nice hotel, the best bed to sleep on. The only thing we don’t like is parking; we have to pay the parking fee. Also, there are several homeless people roaming around . Just have to be careful, but otherwise everything’s really nice at the hotel.

Hampton Inn & Suites Gainesville-Downtown
Great location! Able to walk to many restaurants and bars! Definitely showing wear and tear. Cleaning leaves a lot to be desired. Would stay here again just for the location and price.
