    Having coffee in the room with a comfortable mattress made our stay enjoyable. The large desk allowed us to catch up on work without distractions.

    clean updated room
    comfortable bed

    This place was just a well-suited match for a quick stopover in Gainesville with great value. The room was very clean and updated with a large flat screen, microwave, and fridge that made my stay comfortable. Make sure to check in early since it might get busy later at night.

    quiet atmosphere
    outdoor space
    family-friendly
    uncomfortable furniture

    The location is strategically away from heavy traffic, making it easy to access local attractions while maintaining a quieter atmosphere. The outdoor space includes grills and picnic tables, providing options for family-friendly gatherings, although the gator theme could have been more pronounced.

    Unfortunately, the absence of fitted sheets was a game changer for comfort—waking up directly on the mattress isn't exactly a pleasant experience. Noise carried through the walls, especially from a group of rambunctious kids who made it rough for anyone trying to sleep. The lack of a mini breakfast and a coffee station in the lobby left something to be desired for early risers. Additionally, the furniture shows its age, with lumpy beds and uncomfortable chairs reminiscent of sitting on lumber. Navigating to the second floor via outside stairs isn't ideal either, especially for those hauling luggage or with mobility issues.

    Family with children could do worse

    This place had a pretty nice swimming pool which my kids couldn't get enough of. The free breakfast was surprisingly good with yogurt and muffins that got us ready for the day.

    Not exactly a bargain but I guess you get what you pay for.

    modern decor
    cozy atmosphere
    thoughtful accessibility
    bedside lamps
    dim lighting

    The decor and atmosphere at Gator Town Inn are modern yet cozy, feeling more like a friend's home than a hotel. The staff made me feel right at home, and I appreciated the thoughtful accessibility features.

    More bedside lamps for better lighting, please!

    convenient location
    comfy atmosphere
    efficient check-in
    noisy surroundings
    inadequate breakfast

    The check-in process was really smooth, and the staff was genuinely friendly. My room felt clean, and the bed was comfortable enough for a good night's sleep. I enjoyed the location, as it’s just a short drive to some local attractions. However, the lack of fitted sheets was a bit disturbing. I woke up several times because the flat sheets kept slipping off the mattress. Also, I felt really let down by the noise from some guests. Kids were running around and being loud, making it hard to relax. I understand it's a family-friendly place, but the parents should have managed the situation better. I had to take my baby for a car ride to calm her down. I did appreciate having several restaurants nearby, which made dining options convenient. The breakfast selection could definitely be improved. it was quite basic and didn’t offer much fresh food. All things considered, I think it has potential, but there are definitely areas that need attention.

    clean room
    secure parking
    dated decor
    poor towels
    uncomfortable pool

    The experience was generally positive with a very clean and comfortable room, enhanced by a sense of security from the well-lit parking lot. Its proximity to local restaurants and nearby medical facilities was a significant advantage. However, the dated feel of the room and the need for better-quality towels slightly detracted from the overall comfort. Additionally, while the pool area was lacking, I appreciated the easy check-in process.

    comfortable stay with some minor issues

    The location of my room was very convenient, right next to the ice and soda machines. This allowed me to focus on my homework without distractions, which I appreciated during my two-night stay.

    Comfortable stay with friendly vibes

    I stayed here for 3 nights and had a good time overall. The room was super clean and had a comfy mattress. Loved the coffee in the room. There was a nice picnic area outside for chilling. The only thing is that the old building creaks a bit, but it didn't really bug me much.

    limited towels

    The room had a pleasant vibe, was clean, and provided decent amenities but the strong smell of cleaning products was overpowering. However, the overall experience was enjoyable with a nice and accommodating staff. Small drawbacks include limited adult towels and some moldy linens.
