A great place to stay if you are visiting UF for a visit, orientation, or parent’s weekend. Located in the student union, rooms are clean and spacious, but it is not a fancy hotel. Continental breakfast is provided on each floor (near the elevators), which is very convenient. Parking is provided but you have to navigate stairs, so drop off... More

Stayed one night in Gainesville and wanted to stay n campus. We arrived at about 3:30 on Friday afternoon. Our directions said to use one of the 15-minute spaces in front of the hotel. All spaces were occupied (for over 30 minutes in most cases) and there was literally nowhere to park to check in. I ended up dropping my... More

Front desk was very pleasant and accommodating. Accommodations were not ritzy, but were expected for price point. Room was clean but dated. A fresh coat of paint would go a long way. Parking access is inconvenient, especially if you have heavy luggage and arrive late, since stairs are the only option when the Bookstore is closed. Very quiet. Typical student... More

If you have ever been to Gainesville you would know hotels around campus are few. The Hilton is over priced and the holiday inn is worn out so the union is your only choice without having to stay at the highway. The room is clean and bed comfortable. The furnishings are nice as well. The room smelled a little musty... More

Stayed for one night so my son could visit U of F. Check in was friendly and helpful and the location can't be beat for doing things on campus. As the hotel is in the student union you have access to the food court and bookstore. Room was very basic but clean and it had a nice balcony facing the... More

The views of campus are amazing. We had a corner room on the 6th floor looking the Swamp and Century Tower - awesome! The room was very clean with nice furniture, but a little small. There is a complimentary continental breakfast which was good, but a little limited on selection. They only had yogurt, oatmeal, cereal, bagels, coffee, tea &... More
