We loved our stay at this hotel. Good service, great location, nice breakfast area, clean and in close proximity to the start of the Hawthorne Biking Trail - a 16 mile one way bike trail through beautiful scenery. Also, very convenient to UF, especially if your kids live on the East side of the campus. We would definitely choose it... More

But more about that later. A thoroughly frabjous property is this Hampton. The staff never cease to amaze and welcome, even after dealing with masses of academically-tinged travelers. This was my third stay and the day crew turned a slight disappointment (olfactory hint of old mop water in the suite) into a Thing of Beauty. I mentioned it at the... More

This is a beautiful Hampton Inn, upscale compared to the usual Hampton Inn properties. Right out the door are great restaurants, a renovated theatre, and the Bo Diddly stage at the town square. The saltwater pool is tiny, but it fits the space that the hotel was built on. Plus, it has a switch to make a "current" to swim... More

I stay here every time I am in Gainesville. The staff is great. The location is perfect. Walking distance to many restaurants and bars and across the street they have a local farmers market. More

I stayed here for the NCAA volleyball semi finals and it couldn't have been a better place. It was right in the middle of everything. The room and bathroom were both big and clean. We ended up going to the Natural History Museum to kill time which was only about 15 minutes away (I highly recommend the museum as well).... More

I stayed at the Hampton Inn, GNV FL for the annual punk festival that happens on the last weekend of October. The stay was for 4 nights on the fourth floor of the hotel. If you're not going to the festival, steer clear of the hotels in Gainesville at this time of year. Positives: Comfortable beds. Helpful reception staff. Good... More

I've stayed here two times when visiting University of Florida for business purposes. It's in a nice location-near some upscale restaurants and cute frozen yogurt shop. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. Both times I've stayed my room has been spotless and quiet. I haven't had the breakfast since I'm usually in a hurry but the last visit... More

I arrived in Gainesville after a long flight, late at night. Ernestine greeted me at the front desk with a welcoming smile. The next morning I woke in terrible pain from a pinched sciatic nerve.

If only this hotel had a nice ‘club’ bar, with leather chairs, comfortable furnishings and a competent bartender to later escort one into a pleasant restaurant for dinner it would become one of my all-time favorites. As it is in the very centre of the refurbished, renovated “downtown’ district of this pleasant university town this lack of amenities actually inside... More
