“freshmen management at this conferenence center”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 23, 2013

at least you can sit in a beautiful lobby while u are aggravated by poor service checking in.
this property is physically beautiful. all the amenities one could want. the food service top notch as well as the quality of the food. in fact-the best homemade potato chips ever tasted, and i have tasted many!
i usually identify the hilton brand with excellent service, but at this location the management is really below par. they were clearly understaffed to handle the quantity of guests at check in,(2 barmitzvahs and a wedding) both at the front desk and the bellperson desk. it's not like they didn't know so many people were coming. hopefully the front desk management and housekeeping services can catch up to all the good things here.

Room Tip: lots of partying people, so not too close to the elevator..

“great location, kids friendly”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 22, 2013

First time in Gainesville, first time at Hilton UF. Front desk employees more or less helpful as what to do for kids around. They didn't have map or flyers for activities... OK... last week before Xmas but... And there was Mr. Wajih. He was so great with the kids and than very helpful and always with a smile. Rooms are great, specially having adjacent rooms with the kids.

Room Tip: if traveling with kids, 2 rooms with a door between the rooms.

“First visit”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

This was our first visit to the Hilton UF. We came for a bar mitzvah. It was very busy in the hotel all week but we were very pleased with the service throughout the hotel. Especially Mr. Wagih William who accommodated use with every request we had. Every time we needed something he was right there and he kept checking on us at breakfast and we even saw him late at night at the bar. We would also like to say Melanie at the front desk provided great service during our check in and accommodated us throughout our stay. Thank you and I hope we will be back soon.

“Perfect for Gator games”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 19, 2013

Excellent choice if you're headed to any UF sporting event (or obviously anything on campus) as the hotel is close enough to the stadium/arena/etc. but far enough away to get some solitude once you're ready to go to bed. The property is well maintained, rooms are spacious and comfortable and there is a restaurant on site. The staff is super friendly and helpful. Would definitely consider returning.

“pay for every thing ! No free internet”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed February 15, 2013

Nice location if want to be by the college, other than that , nothing around. Restaurant is horrible with only 10 things on the breakfast menu. ( most hotels have a free breakfast with more to serve). and at that it will cost you at least 16.00/person . Charge for printing, internet etc. next it will be a shower and a pillow.?

Room Tip: shop, take an umbrella if it rains

Jason K, Front Office Manager at Hilton University of Florida Conference Center Gainesville, responded to this review
February 19, 2013
Good afternoon RobynH,

My name is Jason Keltz and I am the Front Office Manager at the Hilton University of Florida Conference Center and Hotel. I am writing to you in regards to your recent stay with us. I want to personally apologize that you did not enjoy your stay with us.

Our breakfast buffet while at a charge has many things to offer and I can assure you that it is more than 10 items. We have all different kinds of fruits and yogurts, we have an omelet station, and we have eggs, bacon, home fries, biscuits and gravy, different types of muffins, waffles that are made to order and many other great and healthy options.

We do charge for the Internet in the room, as do most other Hilton Hotels and many other chain hotels, but we have complimentary Internet in our lobby. We also have a business center that is located in our lobby that has 4 computers and a printing station that is free to use 24 hours a day, so I do not know who tried charging you to print are why you thought there was a charge.

Again, I am sorry that you did not feel that your stay at our hotel was at the level we want all of our guests to feel when they stay here us. I hope that when you come back to Gainesville, you can experience everything that our hotel has to offer. I thank you for taking time out of your day to share your feedback with us. It is comments like yours that can make our hotel a better hotel.

I hope you have a great rest of your week.

At your service,

Jason Keltz
Front Office Manager
