Hotel Indigo Gainesville-Celebration Pointe by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room and facilities, helpful and pleasant staff. Easy checkin and checkout."

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Surprisingly good facility! Efficient and friendly front desk. Room was very nice. First time traveling with a pet, so received a "pet friendly" room, no carpet and nice area near a wall for our doggy bed. Quiet even though the Interstate was about 100 yards from the window. We often stay with Red Roof, and this was probably the nicest one we have stayed at."

"We needed a quiet location to stay while my husband recuperated after surgery, and this fit the bill. The property was quiet and comfortable, providing all of the amenities we needed. The location was convenient to Shands and local shopping."

Pool Access! UF + Game Day Base in Gainesville

8/10 Good

"The first impression of driving through the complex was very dirty and under some improvements. The property we stayed at was in the Z building are the way back to the last apartment on the second floor 15 steps thru several speed bumps. The pool is very close to the apt which looked clean but we didn’t use. Self parking it was not assigned. We didn’t have a problem parking and appeared to be safe. No problem checking into to property and contact with owner and property manager. The apartment was very clean and spotless. It was nice having 2 bathrooms. A few sewer flies and small ants in bathrooms but no problems washing them down the drain. We mostly just used the bedroom and tv in bedroom. When I sat in living room and tried to watch the tv I found that the tv screen must have been broken and showed half a screen so want useable. There is everything you need in the kitchen and everything worked and clean. I don’t know how old the complex is but it seemed tired and ready for upgrades. It served its purpose for us and we had a good time with our friends and the weekend."

The property was very clean, comfortable, and well maintained, which made us feel right at home.The location was excellent, within walking distance to several great restaurants, very close to Whole Foods, and conveniently near the university, mall and everything we needed during our visit. Having so much nearby made the stay even more enjoyable and stress-free.We had a wonderful experience overall and would highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the area."
