Top Duckpond Hotel Reviews

Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and comfortable room. Very convenient to UF"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Alachua - Gainesville Area by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was wonderful. It was clean and spacious. Based on this wonderful experience, we booked another Holiday Inn Express in Tallahassee, Florida. It was awful. What a difference from this hotel. We would definitely stay here again."

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

8/10 Good

"Room was clean and comfortable. Location was excellent for what we needed. Parking was simple and convenient. Front desk was polite and helpful. One bed in the room was comfortable, and one was not. Mattresses seemed worn out. Breakfast was sufficient. Breakfast attendant had an attitude and was unaccommodating. All in all, a good experience. I would definitely stay here again."

Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown

10/10 Excellent

"We love staying there whenever we do a long drive and Gainesville is on the way. The staff is always super nice, we love the location and how walkable it is. The rooms are nice and clean, love that there is no carpet in it. It could get loud at times, there’s a bar across the hotel for college students so… but they are nice enough to give you earplugs at night. Other than that super happy."
