Gainesville hotels near Fred Bear Museum

Cons: In general, the room was clean, a few areas could have been cleaned better.

Cons: Being in Gainesville, it's typically full of young families. And with en-suite kitchens, it's also full of cooking smells and the sounds of kids. If you're into that, it's fine. If not--well, book higher floors where the noise level is lower. But wall insulation IS nice and thick!

Cons: Staff was very nice & very friendly. We enjoy the meal at a restaurant that the young lady at the front desk recommend as a personal favorite which was very nice. Room could have been cleaner, stepped on a piece of dog food in the room which made us wonder if it was vacuumed. Coffee machine carafe was dirty & spout cracked. Hair that wasn’t our already in shower & bathroom, not what I expect from a Marriott hotel.

Cons: Everything was great

Cons: The dining/bar area closed at 9 pm, the gym was small and smelled horrible

Cons: Rooms are small and noisy. We could hear people in the rooms next door . Not much insulation between walls of rooms .

Cons: Air conditioner blew on to the bed closest to it.

Cons: With Coronavirus not much

Cons: Clean

Cons: The room was dirty. The hotel desperately needs a refresh. My room felt more like a cheap roadside motel. It certainly was not worth what I paid for it. I do not feel like I got the best for my money.

Cons: The first room we were assigned had a stench and we asked to move rooms.

Cons: Fan in bathroom. Body wash, firmer pillows, friendly check in.

Cons: The stay was in May 2020, as we were coming out a COVID stay at home. There was no food service, the restaurants and bar were closed, and no room service. No facilities, e.g. gyn or pool, were available. There also were no room cleaning services during my 3 night stay...no clean towels (I had to ask the front desk), bed was not made. Disappointing for a Hilton. They did offer 1000 Hilton points. However, the price should have been discounted, noting the limited services.

Cons: Would have liked complimentary breakfast.

Cons: I was give a handicap room but my reservation confirmation was a normal room

Cons: You need to be a member to get free wifi. Yeah in 2016 this hotel does not give free wifi. Staff rushed our check in experience to get back to texting. The level of service at this location does not meet the standards that Hilton has set. Not worth the money. Buyer beware.

Cons: The information about menus and room service was not in the room. Also, when requesting hospitality package with toothbrush never arrived. Not dedicated areas to seat down and work or have coffee in between meals or meetings

Cons: Lack of any services, including room cleaning during the stay. The "breakfast" was limited.

Cons: There are many plugs available but no USB availability. They say they are upgrading and some rooms may be updated but ours wasn't.

Cons: The facility is really old and not clean. Furniture shows wear and tear on them The house keeping service is not very good. They don't clean well and they leave some I cleaned items like used glasses without exchanging them. They also do late house keeping service and they don't have an on call housekeeper if you need some cleaning at night which all four stars hotels do

Cons: The room was not cleaned to standards I’ve come to expect from a Hilton hotel. That alone wouldn’t have lost my business if the hotel staff had responded well, but when I talked to the clerk at the front desk, he was defensive. Made me feel like I was an inconvenience. My memory of this stay will include a toilet that didn’t flush right, not having a bar of soap for the shower, a big dark stain in the middle of the carpet, putting in a request for housekeeping at check in but not having housekeeping come. I will say that the hotel did send housekeeping to the room after I talked with them, but by then, I was back in the room for the evening. With Covid, I didn’t want housekeeping in the room while I was also in the room. The hotel was nowhere near full. If the clerk had immediately apologized and moved me to another room, it would have made all the difference. I definitely won’t rebook this hotel when I’m back in town in two weeks, and I’ll stick with Marriott chains in the future.

Cons: Chemical cleaning smell in room

Cons: Bar tender not quite with it. breakfast waffle maker a mess and needs instructions posted better.

Cons: The office used to have two computers and now has one. I had to wait a few minutes to be able to get some work done. Not a big deal but maybe something that could be addressed.

Cons: Rooms are a little dated (but still very clean). No fridge or microwave in the room we stayed in (not a huge issue, but could've been helpful, and many other hotels include them nowadays).

Cons: Nothing

Cons: This is a 2 to 3 star hotel at best with above average hotel rates. Owners and management need to upgrade the rooms and stop using caulk to cure 30 year old problems. Faucets and fixtures are from the 70's and should all be replaced. Has potential to be a great 4 star hotel. Would stop here again on business or leisure but not until the place has had a face lift.

Cons: The general manager, Tim, had scheduled parking lot renovation for the weekend we were there. When we returned to the hotel the majority of the parking lot was blocked off and we were unable to park near the entrance closest to our room. As the entire parking lot appeared to be blocked off I stopped my car at the main entrance and went to the desk to ask where I was supposed to park. When I was told that I would have to park on the far back side of the hotel, this would require a walk of more than 300 feet, I explained that I have heart failure, I need a new heart, and that I'm not able to do that. I asked why on check in I wasn't informed that I wouldn't be able to park close to an entrance by my handicapped room. At this point Tim came from the area behind the desk telling the desk clerk that he would handle this. he informed me that there were handicapped spots on all sides of the building, so surely I could find one to use. I attempted to explain that not all handicapped people are alike, so not all handicapped spots are alike, and what my physical limitations are, but Tim talked over me saying we can move your room. I explained again the purpose of asking to be by the pool was to be able to spend time with my daughters, and moving me to another wing made it impossible for me to spend time by the pool with them. I asked for a workable solution where I didn't have to pack up all of our stuff, move our room, and not be able to spend time with my daughters. Time then said he would have someone "hold" a handicapped space (again on the far side of the building) for me, I then pointed out that this was in fact illegal, and the situation currently made the hotel non compliant with the ADA. Tim frequently yelled at me during this exchange,pointed out that he was the GM so there was nothing that would be done. When I asked who the owner is he snapped "Wells Fargo bank" at this point I gave up on finding a workable solution as the chest pain had started, I went to my car, and drove to the far side of the hotel, maneuvering around the construction equipment, having one construction worker wave me through and another then drive a piece of equipment almost into me. I finally get in a spot, and we start the walk to our room. (Had I known about the construction I would have brought my wheelchair like I do when walking distances is required, the hospital loans them for visitors and I mistakenly assumed I wouldn't have a great distance to walk). Instead of being with my girls I went to bed. Since my diagnosis five years ago I take every chance I can to make memories with my daughters, and this trip could have been filled with fun memories for them, instead it was a stark reminder of what heart failure has taken from our family. Tim could have found a way to make the situation work with my physical limitations, instead he wanted to show me that he was the boss, and he made all the rules.

Cons: Noisy hallways, staff, breakfast was awful

Cons: The view from our room looked out at a wall 3 feet away. When I tried to make coffee the coffee maker smelled like it had been cleaned with nail polish remover. When I opened a box of their soap and there was a pubic hair on the bar. This was obviously a used bar of soap.

Cons: parking building access breakfast

Cons: The bathroom in side our room smelled like that a a gas station. It emitted an odor even after cleaned.

Cons: nothing really, you could tell it was older but they were in the process of updating the hotel.

Cons: There was a young lady whose argue with me soon as I get here, which made me very unhappy with her, but that's okay, and she work at the front desk, they told this hotel I would arrive late Wednesday, n the change me still for Tuesday, not fair, should be only time people stay, that's highway robbery!

Cons: Complimentary breakfast was poor in nature. No one tended when food was out. Food area was not clean and quite messy. Selection was poor at best. - fitness center was broken down. I was not informed of this when i checked in even though i inquired about the location of the fitness center. - Shower tub in room was dirty

Cons: Cleanliness

Cons: A/c needs updating, beds are rock hard

Cons: Its a little dated but for the value wo cares.
