"My husband was at Shand‘s for open-heart surgery. I am so happy that I found this Condo. It was perfect to go back-and-forth from the hospital as it is only about 5 to 7 minutes away. it was super clean, stocked nicely, and the washer and dryer made it perfect. The communication from the owner is great. All kinds of shopping and restaurants are within 5 to 10 minutes from the condo as well. I would highly recommend this for anyone going near Shands or UF."

Top Gainesville Hotel Reviews

Comfort Inn University

10/10 Excellent

"Great room. Simple breakfast buffet. Coffee and juice with fresh fruit. Eggs and sausage. Some cereal and bread options."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Gainesville, FL

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. Breakfast was really good and a variety of choices including hot food. All the staff was super friendly and helpful. Rooms were clean. Beds were a little uncomfortable but not bad. The location was great. Close to the interstate and lots of shopping."

Best Western Gateway Grand

8/10 Good

"Great location, beautiful hotel. We enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The gym was also impressive for a hotel gym and we made good use of that. I liked that they left coffee, tea and water in the lobby 24/7. Continental breakfast was standard but the omelet bar was a nice add! Property was nicely kept. My one complaint would be that we requested an extra pillow and towel from the desk and it was never delivered to the room."

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

8/10 Good

"Overall, I think the hotel is nice. The staff was nice and I didn’t get any weird smells or anything. I think the beds need to be updated because I can feel the springs when I sleep so it makes it for a harder day or even harder to sleep in besides that and no one coming to our room to make our bed. Everything was great."
