Gainesville Homestays

We learned about Drury Inns from a customer of ours. She raved and raved so we had to give it a try. We had a trip planned and needed a half-way point to stay at. Location was right off of I75 so very convenient. The lobby was immaculate and the front desk people were super nice and helpful. We got there right when the dinner/happy hour was starting and were very pleased with that as well! Lots of great choices at breakfast too! The room we stayed in was immaculate and the beds were super comfy. Tried to book a room for another trip yesterday but, sadly, they were full and we had to stay at another place.

We are not only Diamond members but also frequent guests at this particular Hilton. There was an issue with our AC leaking and we tried to reach out to the front desk staff. When they told us it was fixed but wasn’t, Danielle took the issue into her own hands. Kindly moved us to a new room close by and personally made sure we were taken care of. Thank you Danielle again for making sure, in these uncertain times, your guests were personally handled and your follow up was exemplary!! For those higher-ups, Danielle is a total asset to the Hilton team!! Because of employees like her, we will be back!

This hotel has its okay aspects and its not so good aspects. First the good...The hotel is a bit older but has been somewhat renovated and is sufficient. The location is close to everything including I-75, and surprisingly quiet inspite of being close to the interstate. The beds were quite comfortable, and it was reasonably priced. The not so good... Digital key does not work, front desk staff was less than friendly, informative, or helpful (with the exception of Ami who was a friendly new hire), We stayed 2 days and there was no housekeeping for refreshing of clean towels. We were later told housekeeping had to be specifically requested but this was not mentioned at check in. When we requested new towels, we were asked to bring our dirty towels to the front desk to swap. Completely unacceptable and unsanitary! There were several hot options for breakfast and it was standard for Hampton. I will say this hotel is NOT a bad option but there are definitely BETTER options in Gainesville. I would only book again in a pinch!

My two teens and I stayed at the Super 8 for a weekend in March 2022. Our room was updated and clean. We especially appreciated the nice laminate flooring, as there's nothing grosser than old hotel carpet. The beds were comfortable and we all slept well. There were no noises or smells in our room. The bathroom has been renovated and sparkled with bright new tile and fixtures. The only suggestion I would make is to switch the water pressures of the sink and the shower. Low pressure in the shower was challenging, whereas I nearly blasted myself through the wall when I turned on the sink. Minor annoyances at most. The kids swam in the pool, which was clean during our stay. I can't comment on the complimentary breakfast because we did not partake. The location is perfect... you are an average of five minutes from dozens of restaurants and stores and right next to I-75. All in all, it was worth the bargain price.

This property was easy to access, front desk staff was friendly. Room was clean. Very average. The werd thing is that our room had a fridge/coffee hutch placed over the heating/cooling unit. We looked all over the room for a thermostat, but there wasn’t one. Then I noticed that the controls were on the unit, which was blocked by the hutch. I had to get down on my knees and use the flashlight on my phone, reaching through a tangle of electric cords every time I adjusted the temperature. Strangest layout I’ve ever seen at a Marriott property, and I travel quite a bit.

Ms Asia has been a very big help to me when it comes down to me needing things for my stay. She’s always in a good spirit and Is very helpful. She is one of two of my favorite workers. She’s very Great.
