Pet-friendly Hotels in Gainesville

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!

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.

The only best thing I can say about the hotel was that Monday 2-13 and Tue 2-14 the day staff was very pleasant and went above. The rooms are so noisy, doors slamming, people talking loud in halls. people walking so heavily above that I thought they'd come through the floor. We checked in Sunday night and the room seemed nice but Extremely noisy, the AC unit gurgled all night and the exhaust fan never turned off. The fridge didn't work so we lost our food that was brought in for the next day. The front desk moved us to another room before we took my granddaughter to hospital for surgery. Coming back this room was even worse for noise. Very overpriced. I had no other choice than to stay as My granddaughter was in the hospital. I've gotten no rest and no member of management compensated us for the food lost or even apologized. I am extremely sorry to have stayed here. It's not for sick people or elderly. The management doesn't seem to acknowledge there is a lot of issues.

The overall feeling is still good, do not talk about traffic conditions abroad, no car really can not go out, parking here is very convenient, the hotel's surrounding environment is still relatively good, there is a small pool, room facilities in general, but also clean, the front desk Handling check-in and check-out are quick. Although the breakfast is simple, the taste is still in line with Chinese taste. If it is not too demanding, it is a recommended hotel.

This hotel was very nice and clean with friendly front desk staff. I liked that we could turn up the fan in the room to block out outside noise. I didn’t like that ice was unavailable on our floor. The bathroom, while nicely turned out, was a black hole with the dark wallpaper absorbing all the light so it made seeing well to do hair and makeup a challenge for my daughter and me. The most surprising thing was the awful breakfast that the hotel offer. They should be embarrassed for charging people for it. The fruit bowls were empty, the bananas were green and the eggs we asked for were overly salted and soaked in butter. The rest of the offerings were very meager. I would definitely eat somewhere else.

Worst experience ever. When we arrived we could already tell we were in for a treat. There were people standing around outside smoking all over the place. When I went into the lobby to sign in the lobby tv was extremely loud so the desk staff could sit and watch tv. We checked in with no problems. The trash cans all around the place were overflowing with trash and clearly had not been cleaned in many days. We walked into our room and it was not very clean. The floor looked and felt like it had not been mopped in weeks. There was no way we were walking around with shoes on. There was a hole in the wall and the shower area looked like it had not been wiped down in several months. We book a room with two bed but noticed there was only one towel. We went down to the front desk to get enough for the four of us, and were told we don't have any they are on backorder. That is was not her job to do the housekeepings job. We begged and pleaded and got two more towels and a bathmat to use as our fourth towel. Again people just hanging out smoking all over the place. As we were checking out, there was a pile of dog poop in front of the elevator that had clearly been there for awhile. Instead of cleaning it up they put a yellow caution sign over it.The mattresses were about as comfortable as a college dorm mattress. Very cheap. All of the counters had dust or a film on them. Not sure if I was cleaner walking in or leaving the shower. Worst experience ever.

Mr. Leon Ford and Paula honestly were amazing. We booked our stay on Expedia and had accidentally put our stay for the wrong date. After staying on the phone with Expedia for over an hour, we had come to the lobby for help. They immediately were on the phone helping us. We were able to get our room for the night. They were so awesome and eager to help. This is by far the best staff I’ve come into with red roof and will be booking again with them as we come to this area every couple of weeks. Our check out experience was lovely and easy. Leon was super helpful and really all around an awesome person. I hope these 2 are recognized for their outstanding jobs and personality’s. Great job as a manager, in my opinion having staff like this makes the experience a great one! THANK YOU!

Absolutely bad review. This bad review is not for hotels, but for Ctrip. Ctrip is becoming more and more unscrupulous. La Quinta and Days are two completely different hotels. Ctrip actually confused the two hotels. This hotel is Days, and the hotel next door is La Quinta. And this hotel has been open for more than ten years. When I booked it, it was shown that the hotel will open in 2019, and when I booked, I used a photo of La Quinta. After arriving, they found that they were completely misled. They complained to Ctrip. They only replaced some photos and cancelled the opening hours. Although Ctrip paid 400 yuan symbolically, it still feels that such a large company, whether it is your mistake or intentional, is seriously misleading to users. Because they are abroad, they are too lazy to talk to them. Everyone must pay attention when booking this hotel. Besides, on other platforms, these two hotels are completely separate and are two different hotels. Ctrip uses La Quinta in Chinese and Days inn in English is completely irresponsible and unprofessional.
