Top Fred Bear Museum Hotel Reviews

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Miss Shirley - a breakfast attendant was an excellent addition to the stay. She made sure everyone got greeted and taking well care of . She was truly a jewel 💎 Her smile and attentiveness was undeniable ❤️"

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands

8/10 Good

"They gave us an ADA accessible room (which we don't need) without asking if that was okay with us. We requested a different room but were told there was no other room available. Because of that, our bathroom mirror was a bit too low for us. My husband had to bend down to see his face in the mirror. They should put a larger taller mirror there that can work for both disabled and non-disabled people. Also the light fixture above the mirror was off center and too low. That didn't affect functionality of the bathroom but it looked strange and not aesthetically pleasing. The breakfast room was clean and there were plenty of tables and choices but I didn't feel there were any very healthy options. Fruity yogurts with added sugar, tiny boxed cereals, scrambled eggs, sausage, toast, bagels and a make your own waffle station with several topping options. Also juice and coffee and a few fresh fruits. We took some apples to go to eat later for snacks. We took some apples to go to eat later for snacks and they were delicious apples. L We didn't use the pool, it looked okay but pretty basic. Cookies, coffee, tea, and popcorn in the lobby was a nice amenity when we returned at the end of our long days. The elevator is slow and our key cards had to be scanned in the door lock anywhere from 4 to 8 times, every time, in order to work. The first time this happened we thought they were programmed wrong so went back to the front desk. Overall the staff were kind, friendly and helpful."

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Surprisingly good facility! Efficient and friendly front desk. Room was very nice. First time traveling with a pet, so received a "pet friendly" room, no carpet and nice area near a wall for our doggy bed. Quiet even though the Interstate was about 100 yards from the window. We often stay with Red Roof, and this was probably the nicest one we have stayed at."
