Top Fred Bear Museum Hotel Reviews

Hotel Indigo Gainesville-Celebration Pointe by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, well maintained property. Walkable to restaurants and shopping and parking is free and convenient. We only stayed there one night, but if I’m ever Gainesville again – this will be my top choice!"

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

8/10 Good

"The mattress was firmer than I like. It seemed that the breakfast eggs were either powdered eggs or pre-prepared yolk liquid. The separation of the stations was nice once I realized that was the setup. I didn't see any milk if the diner needed it for cereal or to drink."

Drury Inn & Suites Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"I had a beautiful room for my very brief stay. My room was perfect, clean and very relaxing. The staff were helpful. I'll be back again soon."

HOM Hotel Gainesville, SureStay Collection by Best Western

10/10 Excellent

"It was super clean and the staff helped me get the room i exactly needed with no problem. Super sweet. Breakfast was also a plus better then some ive had before but not the best ive had. If your looking for somthing quick and easy too stay in or just for a few nights 100% recommend."

DoubleTree by Hilton Gainesville

8/10 Good

"Check in staff was great but during check out there was 1 girl at desk, she was on the phone for about 15 mins. Didn’t even acknowledge me, I had to interrupt her conversation to ask if there was someone else who could help and she said no and proceeded to talk on the phone."

Staybridge Suites Gainesville I-75 by IHG

8/10 Good

"I like the atmosphere and the availability of breakfast. The quality of the food was marginal, so I didn't eat anything that was cooked. The cereal dispenser did not work properly and made a mess because someone crammed the cereal in which interfered with the proper operation. The desk in my room 376 WAS wobbly and needed repair or replacement."
