Top Fred Bear Museum Hotel Reviews

Staybridge Suites Gainesville I-75 by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The hotel was great! For travel planning purposes for other travelers I would say the only negative was the pull out sofa bed was not comfortable and made squeaky noise throughout the night when the person sleeping on the bed moved/changed sleeping position. Other than that it was excellent hotel to stay at!"

Super 8 by Wyndham Gainesville I-75 Hospital University Area

8/10 Good

"Some staff were challenging to speak with. Generally messy in hallways. Motel experience."

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Gainesville

"H"

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

8/10 Good

"We stayed here for UF Family weekend. We booked early, and the rate wasn’t too inflated. Things really book up around that time and there is price gouging, so we chose an affordable hotel. The staff was very kind and helpful and made us aware of amenities. They offered a shuttle for the UF football game. Your stay includes free breakfast. Coffee, fresh popcorn and cookies are available most of the day. The condition of the elevator and the carpet and chair in our room needed some attention. The hotel has a bit of a damp or musty smell. We went nose blind to it pretty quickly, though. I know moisture is a big challenge in Florida. The bed and pillows were quite comfortable, and my teenage son said he slept like a baby on the sofa bed, for which the front desk gave us clean sheets, blanket and pillow. Overall, a positive experience. We would stay here again."

Hampton Inn Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great experience."
