This was our second time staying here and it was great for what we needed. The staff were friendly and helpful. The basketball area and pool were nice, especially for the kids. The breakfast was good and we were only 3 minutes away from the Alachua Sports & Events Complex which was great.

The only issues we had were the blinking light in the bathroom which would stop after a couple of minutes and some of the pillows were not too comfortable, but these were not a deal breaker. We would stay again.

Breakfast Ham was old and reused and dried out. Many bugs in 2 different rooms after being moved 3 times. I have photos of possibly 40 bugs on inside of our curtains on the pillows and on sofa and walls. Windowsills were covered with same bugs. They’re called love bugs and they are seasonal here in Fl. I can understand 3 of 4 coming in on your body or suitcases, but this was like a horror movie. The ceiling was leaking and caused a bubble under the paint. The mold smell was very evident. I have photos if needed. I am requesting a total refund, and I want my Expedia rewards points back.

We were only there one night, but we needed a large room to open and arrange the gear from our flight, and this fit the need well. Generally clean, comfortable, well furnished. Friendly, helpful staff. Easy paring. We did not care for the breakfast, but that is a norm for us with Homewood Suites. We were satisfied for the one night we were there.

Beautiful property , great room and accommodations . Breakfast also great with many hot and cold options . Overall great . There were wildfires in the area that night and lots of smoke in the air and I asked the guy at the desk how close the wildfires were and he didn’t know anything about them !!! Otherwise a great experience !

Property was nice and clean. The breakfast was honestly not great.

My complaint comes from the employees who charged me for our stay after I already paid through Expedia like 2 months before. Now I’m fighting an almost $400 charge on my card from Homewood Suites.

No ice machine on any floor but the first and it had no ice. And you have to walk half the hotel for that. Freezer did not work so what we thought was frozen was defrosted. They did bring us a shower chair. No sleep pillows for the pull out couch. Usually we have a good experience when we stay here but not so much this time. Maybe next time will be better.

The air conditioner was not cooling when we arrived. We advised the front desk clerk, but she was at first unconcerned, told us to give it time to cool down. But after 2 hrs, it only got warmer and warmer in the room. We had to complain 3 times and finally get a bit nasty before she agreed to have their maintenance engineer check the AC, and then he was there only 10 minutes after she called him (so why the delay?). The engineer told us the unit filter was so dirty that air was bypassing the coils, and it never would have cooled without service. And it only took him 15 minutes to fix. So, if it was that easy, we should not have had to get nasty with them to get it addressed. Other than that, the luggage carts were small and borderline useless, as all the tires were underinflated and would not roll well (or at all) when loaded. We did not care for the breakfast. We had to clean all the surfaces in the room on check-in, as everything was very dusty. And all of the dishes were still in the dishwasher and had not been run through the wash cycle. Other than that, the room was roomy and well-furnished and comfortable. But we would likely check other options before staying here again.

OK, the staff was excellent. Breakfast was great. I don’t think I had a better breakfast in from a hotel before one problem was we had no hot water in our room 414 and the manager when we found out, we had no hot water said she would make it up to us cause she could not get a plumber to come in at that time of night and the cost would be prohibited anyway, and I did notwant you to go through that , so just waiting to find out whether she will make it up to us !

I travel a lot for work and was a little surprised at this property. Obviously they knew there was a lot going on , hence the rates were highly raised. I had to not only ask for waters but show proof that I was a Hilton honors member. We had to ask for the bedding for the sofa bed. Then they said they were short staffed. So we had to wait . There were only 3 towels which is such an odd number of towels. Just dissatisfied

We were generally disappointed with this property. We got a 1 bedroom “suite” and given that it was a football game weekend in Gainesville, we understand demand is high, thus prices are high, but our room was tiny, didn’t feel comfortable or overly clean & the staff didn’t bring any level of excellence to our stay at $400+/night. On top of that, we left AirPods in the room at check out and when we came back for them (2 hrs later) we were told they were “gone” and it was only after we did our own searching with tracking devices did we find them in a housekeepers pockets. The AirPods were returned to us and maybe they were going to be turned in … but it left a bad taste in our mouths at the end of the weekend. Do better Hilton.

DIRTY. FILTHY. We checked into a room that had garbage in the garbage can, filthy, sticky tile with black grout, a black cotton ball under the toilet, dirty mirrors, makeup on the hanging towel, THEN I pulled down the comforter and there were clumps of bloody mucus stuck to the top of the comforter! I called to switch rooms and they were extremely helpful and nice, but they didn’t have another two bedroom suite, so they switched us two separate rooms which meant we, as a family, had ti split up. When I woke up in my new room, bc it was midnight at that point, I went to make coffee and the coffee cup was completely stained and dirty. Then I went to shower and it was a dribble of water, then when I toweled off, there was a clump of black hair stuck to the towel. It was quite literally the worst experience I’ve ever had at a hotel. I emailed corporate and they gave me points worth $40 toward my next stay. I sent them videos, photos, and descriptions, just wanting enough to cover that stay, but to no avail. The manager was friendly and helpful, but could only do so much bc I booked through Expedia and wasn’t able to refund me, but they should at least give me enough points to cover one future stay. I wish I could post the photos so show I’m not exaggerating.

We were able to get it to turn off by putting a toothpick in it...lol. The shower gel was a new bottle & I couldn't get the pump to turn so I could use it. Showered with shampoo.

My dad fell in the bathtub which was VERY slippery; the front desk had no idea how to handle the situation. They didn't have many supplies for the cut on his back. When asked if they had a policy in place for when this happened, he didn't really have an answer, told me that manager would call me tomorrow. When I got a call from manager, who took a report, I ask him also if there was a policy since the front desk employee didn't seem to know, he said they did however bc things like this don't happen often it may have been forgotten. This happened over 3 weeks ago now and nobody has reached out.

I would NOT recommend this property and will never stay here again. After checking in, we noticed some cleanliness issues with our room. I went down and talked to the front deck which told us they would be taken care of. No one ever came and handled the issue. We never would have stayed in the room had we known it wouldn’t have been recleaned. We went swimming the next day and there was an awful smell at the pool that MULTIPLE guests were talking about what smelled with urine and a dead animal. The fire alarm went off twice, once while my son was napping and once before 8 am the next day. The “kitChen” was stocked with 1/4 of a roll of paper towels and one spoon and one knife. Two of the disposable coffee cups were provided for our whole stay and were never replenished. I discussed all our concerns with the “manager” Jason, who said he would look into it all and promptly call me. We rechecked in while we were checking out to be told he was doing some paperwork and would call us. Never received the call. Save yourself some time and book at the staybridge across the road, you’ll be much happier.
