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.

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.

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.

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.
