Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"Everything was to perfection."

Best Western Gateway Grand

10/10 Excellent

"I typed all of this and then decided to come back up to the top to tell you; stop looking at the other hotels and stay here. You won’t be sorry. I usually don’t leave reviews, but the hotel was very impressive. It was clean, spacious, quiet. The pool and hot tub were very nice also. You cannot find a room this nice, for this price…anywhere. Quality Inn wanted $20 less, and half of the front windows were busted out and covered with plywood. Crack heads and homeless all over the place. I have nothing against homeless people. I’m just saying, what a difference 3 miles and $20 made. I highly recommend this BW hotel. "
