Top Cultural Plaza Hotel Reviews

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

8/10 Good

"The mattress was firmer than I like. It seemed that the breakfast eggs were either powdered eggs or pre-prepared yolk liquid. The separation of the stations was nice once I realized that was the setup. I didn't see any milk if the diner needed it for cereal or to drink."

Drury Inn & Suites Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"I had a beautiful room for my very brief stay. My room was perfect, clean and very relaxing. The staff were helpful. I'll be back again soon."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Gainesville, FL

"Check in staff was great but during check out there was 1 girl at desk, she was on the phone for about 15 mins. Didn’t even acknowledge me, I had to interrupt her conversation to ask if there was someone else who could help and she said no and proceeded to talk on the phone."

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."
