Top Lake Alice Hotel Reviews

Hilton University of Florida Conference Center Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"So many options for entertainment and dining without even leaving the hotel."

Drury Inn & Suites Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Great location & staff!"

Comfort Suites Gainesville near University

"The hotel is nice"

Hotel Indigo Gainesville-Celebration Pointe by IHG

"H"

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for UF Family weekend. We booked early, and the rate wasn’t too inflated. Things really book up around that time and there is price gouging, so we chose an affordable hotel. The staff was very kind and helpful and made us aware of amenities. They offered a shuttle for the UF football game. Your stay includes free breakfast. Coffee, fresh popcorn and cookies are available most of the day. The condition of the elevator and the carpet and chair in our room needed some attention. The hotel has a bit of a damp or musty smell. We went nose blind to it pretty quickly, though. I know moisture is a big challenge in Florida. The bed and pillows were quite comfortable, and my teenage son said he slept like a baby on the sofa bed, for which the front desk gave us clean sheets, blanket and pillow. Overall, a positive experience. We would stay here again."

Aloft by Marriott Gainesville University Area

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel but the breakfast was gross 2/10 plus we had to pay for it. If I am paying for breakfast it better be damn good. I have traveled to Europe and paid for hotel breakfasts spreads. This was just hard to swallow."

Cozy UF Condo Near Shands UF on Archer

10/10 Excellent

"My husband was at Shand‘s for open-heart surgery. I am so happy that I found this Condo. It was perfect to go back-and-forth from the hospital as it is only about 5 to 7 minutes away. it was super clean, stocked nicely, and the washer and dryer made it perfect. The communication from the owner is great. All kinds of shopping and restaurants are within 5 to 10 minutes from the condo as well. I would highly recommend this for anyone going near Shands or UF."

Serenity Haven: 5 Min Walk to UF Campus!

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous house. Everything we possibly could want was there. Meals with a big family were so much better than fighting the graduation crowds at restaurants. Walked to the ceremony too! Definitely would book again"
