We stayed a couple of nights for a graduation ceremony at the hotel. We booked a king suite room and received a VERY spacious room. The reservation came with a convenient continental breakfast which included many food choices, at well timed and convenient hours. The hotel is situated in a place where you can get by foot to restaurants, but... More

When I needed to find a hotel in Gainesville I ended up reserving a room at the Hampton Inn based on all the positive reviews here on TripAdvisor, and I was certainly let down. Unlike other reviewers here, I didn't find the staff to be friendly and helpful at all, just the opposite in fact. And the hotel was anything... More

Best hotel to stay while in Gainesville! Whether for a game, graduation, or a business meeting! Staff was amazing: helpful, courteous and friendly. Rooms were spotless and bedding was super comfortable. We travel via Hampton Inns and I would totally recommend this one!

After accidentally booking a room for the day before, the front desk made sure to get me a room for the night and at the same rate....Then offered me a beer and snacks that are complimentary in the lobby in the evenings.

Beautiful downtown location away from the Archer Road traffic and close to campus and quality restaurants. Near historic area, shops and cultural activities. Safe for a stroll. There is charge for using the parking garage but its minimal.

This is a very nice hotel - I stay at the Hampton Inn a lot for business travel - it's where most of our company tends to put their money as well. On a recent personal trip, however, it was a Customer Service nightmare that still hasn't been resolved. First, the parking arrangement is good ONLY if it works. The... More

I sincerely apologize for the issues you had with the parking garage on your recent visit to Gainesville. We don't stamp tickets for the garage, we actually have a call box at the exit which dials the hotel directly and the front desk can lift the gate. Again, I apologize for the inconvenience and if you'll contact me directly at... More

Hotel was spotless, staff totally on the ball and overall a really great experience in Gainesville for a recent work stop. Front desk staff, including 2 young ladies (can't recall names) and a gentleman names 'Josh' all helped make my life a lot easier. Sounds like a cliche, but was so true.
