- MMMrs Letsgo (Mrsletsgo)2 days ago5.0I did not remember to take thr deserved pictures. The rooms are spacious. The beds very comfortable and the different types of pillows make all the difference. The staff are friendly and smiling. Great location. We will be back.
- DSDeepen SinaiJan 5, 20264.0Downtown environment. Rooms were chilly even though we had the heater set to High. Breakfast was custom made with multiple egg related options. Limited vegetarian options were available.
- TKTony KindrattJan 4, 20265.0Me & my family had a great stay at this hotel. It's within easy reach of the Gators Football & Basketball stadiums. It has a Publix Supermarket next door and a Pizza restaurant attached which was very helpful. We were also guests of the day which was a very pleasant surprise. I'm a travel agent booking corporate clients and will always recommend this hotel if it comes up.
- DIDr. Priyanka Ingle-JadhavDec 27, 20255.0Visiting GNV just became so much more fun - nice place for a layover or a quick stay! Cristine at front desk gave us complimentary breakfast! The breakfast was freshly made and was a heavy brunch for us— kept us going till late afternoon! Thank you very much!
- CMCraig McCaffertyNov 25, 20255.0Great hotel, Good customer service, brilliant location, free parking. Rooms are modern finish, really nice, huge by European standards. Only downside is a noisy but working GE AC unit. Hotel does a nice breakfast choice, with two drinks for BnB guests, open 6-10 (11 on weekends). Also has a small grocery store at reception, parking is included, and adjoining piesanos pizza and bar. Short stroll to publix supermarket next door, bars and food along the street. Pool was good catches the sun till 5pm although it wasn't heated it's warm enough to stay in after the initial shock. It seems to be busier on weekends with the biggest draw being the Florida gators, which stadium is a 20 minute stroll through the college. Would recommend if looking for a place in Gainesville pretty central, plenty of parking.
