Quality Inn Gainesville near University

"We will definitely stay here again."

Depot Village

8/10 Good

"Our biggest issue was the setup of the bathroom. With no shower curtain or door, anytime we took a shower, the floor and everything else in the small space got wet and made the floor slippery. The hot water didn't last long either. The only other issue was there is nowhere to just sit in the living space other than two small stools at the bar. Would love to have had somewhere to sit other than the bed."

Value Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Was a very clean room and quiet"

Grand Two Bedroom Two Bathroom Apartment with Balcony by The Scholar

10/10 Excellent

"Only would be improved if the blinds were darker. Some street noise but slept just fine."
