Great hotel, friendly staff, excellent location. Enjoyed the discounts at the nearby restaurants. I unloaded luggage when I arrived and I parked my car in the garage then didnt have to worry about it all for the duration of my stay. Also enjoyed the complementary beer and wine put out for the guests. Great Breakfast as well. I recommend this... More

Nice facility and good location. Staff/management refuses to provide free upgrades to Diamond level Honors members even when there are available rooms. Need to bump up the breakfast staff on full occupancy weekends.

Thank you for posting a review on your recent stay with us. We're glad you enjoyed our hotel. Unfortunately there were no upgrades available due to the fact that we were sold out for The University of Florida graduation. Also, when you use HHonors points to make reservations we are unable to change the room type on your reservation. Hampton... More

Made a reservation at this hotel the morning of our last minute decision to runaway for a night. We had never done that before. Tossed everything in a suitcase within one hour and drove there. Got a great price for such a central location where you can walk to whatever kind of food and drink you want. Parking garage very... More

We booked our hotel block for our wedding here because I had been to the hotel several times and was always very impressed with the decor, staff and cleanliness of the hotel. You really can't get a better location in Gainesville with so many restaurants/bars to walk to and other activities going on downtown. The staff is always very friendly... More

This would be my top pick of hotels to stay in Gainesville, Fl. It is in the heart of downtown With tons of food options and things to do. Pretty new hotel, I have stayed here twice. Very clean and friendly service. I would recommend this hotel for anyone going to visit Gainesville, Fl or nearby areas.

This is a new property in downtown Gainesville, close to all city and county offices. It is also walking distance to some great restaurants and bars. It is 13 blocks from the University of Florida Campus and 20 blocks from the Gators' football stadium, Florida Field. Parking is a bit difficult. There's a garage next door with access through your... More

I could not have asked for a better place for the reunion that I was planning. From the very first meeting with Megan to set up group rates, things moved along smoothly. She increased the rooms when needed and we ended up with 30 people staying together on the same floor. Pretty incredible!! The desk staff was more than helpful... More

Checked in at 12:30 a.m. and checked out at 9:00 am, so I can't comment much except that the rooms were nice, flat screen TVs. Bed was very comfortable, bedding was comfortable.
