Econo Lodge Gainesville Downtown Area

"Staff was helpful."

Hampton Inn Gainesville

8/10 Good

"I would like to brag about how excellent the staff were! Both front desk representatives that I encountered were beyond helpful and incredibly kind. We checked into our room quite quickly and noticed a strange smoke/mildew smell upon entering. The mini fridge also seemed to not be working. The representative didn’t hesitate for a second and said she would get us a new room and she was sorry and it was an issue with a previous tenant and they thought it had been sorted. She was very apologetic and so easy to talk to. The hotel itself, I have absolutely no complaints about. We had issues with cable and entering through the back door but it was due to all the hurricane craziness and the power going in and out. The staff being so accommodating left a wonderful impression and I would absolutely recommend."
