Thanks to this Econolodge our travel day ended much better than we thought. We had reservations at the Newberry Inn to stay the night on our trip to Disney World. We needed three rooms and the Econolodge gave us a great rate, the rooms were very clean, and a very well presented continental breakfast the next morning before we got... more

The rooms were very clean, the front desk agent was great, and they had everything they promised. Completely opposite of the Clarion. I will definitely be returning, this time I'll book with this hotel. more

We traveled to Gainesville to attend our nephew's graduation. We had planned a family reunion of sorts and had reserved our rooms about 10 months prior. We got a great deal and were so excited. We told all of our family to book at the Clarion so we could all be together. Well, the Clarion "lost" 4 of the 10... more

When reservation was made, we understood the total rate was $170.00 for 2-nights. What a shock after we checked out and noticed it was $170.00 for each night !!!! And we had booked 2 rooms for family., running our total up to $680.00 instead of the $340.00 we had anticipated. I realize now that it was "price gouging" because it... more

We needed a room for only one night and didn't want to commit to the 2 night minimum stay most hotels in Gainesville have on football weekends. We should have realized when the Econo Lodge West had plenty of rooms available the day of Gator Growl that there may be some issues. Anyway we booked the room and headed to... more

I've stayed here the past several years for the three days of the Gatornationals drag racing weekend. Nice place, Very clean, nice staff, good location with several good restaurants nearby. Also close to good shopping. Ask for a 2nd floor room if possible. The 1st floor rooms get alot of noise from the rooms above. You hear every step on... more

I booked this hotel very early on because of the price for the weekend of Gatornationals. Then I started reading reviews and had great trepidation about staying there. We decided we would go and, if horrible, find someplace else to stay. We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The staff was very nice and helpful. They stated that the rooms... more

After a few hours in the room, around 11pm, 4 roaches came into view. One on the bed, one came from behind a picture crawling in the bed, one on the TV furniture and finally one that flew at me from the side of the bed. After hastily dressing, packing, the night clerk could only repeat "we do not give... more

Thank you for your comments. As we discussed on the phone, we have a contracted pest control service that has been servicing the property for many years. We would have loved an opportunity to rectify the situation had we been notified prior to your check-out. However, since the room was used and you did stay the whole night in the...

Stayed here during a hurricane evacuation and checked out after one night. We were on the first floor and every move that was made above us could be heard. The foot steps and the squeaking floor drove us crazy. When we finally fell asleep we were awoken several times by one or two rings of the phone. No one was... more

We stayed for one night on our way to Disney World last week. It was somewhat old, but it had been updated and it was very clean. Also the room was a nice size. Convenient to some eating places, including the Waffle House for a quick breakfast. I believe the cost was $59 plus tax. more
