Top Gainesville Raceway Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Gainesville - University Center by IHG

8/10 Good

"The staff were amazing. The pool however was not! It was FULL of green algae and definitely needs a facelift. Not sure why it wasn't done considering they spent some time upgrading the pool deck and furniture. There was also an attempt to upgrade the rooms but one odd thing we noticed is they left the bathtub but no way for it to function as a bathtub. It only had a shower head which was odd. Great location if you're visiting UF."

Sweetwater Branch Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful 1800’s inn and grounds, and incredibly sweet staff! Our room was spacious, nicely private even though in the main house. Extra fluffy towels, plenty of charging / electric considerations, and scrumptious hot breakfast. Coffee on the upper balcony was a delight with the huge oak tree’s birds and squirrels. Wonderful stay!"

Hampton Inn & Suites Gainesville-Downtown

2/10 Terrible

"For the amount of money we spent for two nights for graduation weekend. It is a shame that this hotel is not up kept better. The room I stayed in smelled like feet, no one came to clean. Actually, someone came in the room and made up one of my bed, left the other bed unmade and gave me new towels, thank you for that. Just because you can get away with charging people these prices for this type of hotel does not make it right. Do better Hampton Inn. It’s a disgrace. And I definitely will not be staying here ever again. I rather sleep in my car."

Gainesville Lodge

6/10 Okay

"We were given a room key upon check in and, when we returned much later, someone else had been checked into that room. It’s always an awkward moment when you walk into someone else’s room while they’re sleeping at 1 AM. No amenities to speak of (vending, ice machine bucket, etc.). Furnishings were decent, pillows were terribly hard. Room was clean but very very loud. Not a great part of town. We definitely will seek alternate accommodations next time."

Best Western Waldo Inn and Suites

6/10 Okay

"I have stayed at BW Waldo twice yearly for the last ten years and have enjoyed my visits. Good breakfast and the staff is always accommodating. But this year was a big disappointment in as for the three days I was there, THERE WAS NO HOT WATER. It didn't matter as to the time of day or night, there was never any hot water. I complained to both house keeping and the desk management but to no avail. House Keeping mentioned something about a problem with a pilot light, but obviously everyone knew there was a problem but didnt seem to have a solution. Greatly disappointed and will need to consider other properties in the future "

Campus Inn by Hotel O Gainesville - University Area

4/10 Poor

"The only contact I had with staff was through a small bank teller type window while I remained outside. The first thing the clerk demanded was a fifty dollar cash deposit. I guess that should have been my notice this was not the kind of place you would visit with family. The motel looks like something from an old 1960 movie set. The room entrance door had a strong spring which would prevent a child from escaping in an emergency. The floor felt sticky and a few of the light switches did nothing. The shower/tub was dripping, and I could not stop it. The sliding door at the back of the room could not open, and it was covered by cloth , but half of the door was covered by a sheet of plywood. When I arrived around 3 in the afternoon, there were more cars in the parking lot than when I returned shortly after 10 pm. Maybe the hotel clients are hourly guests. I should have known better than to book outside a major hotel chain."
