Top Gainesville Hotel Reviews

The Guest Lodge Gainesville

10/10 Excellent

"Great little place!! We will be back!"

Hampton Inn Gainesville

8/10 Good

"We were traveling on a budget and this met all of our needs. Our kiddos loved the continental breakfast, the room was sufficient for a young family of 4, and we were exceptionally thrilled when the front desk attendant on Saturday 6/13 opened the pool just a few minutes before 10am so my kiddos could enjoy it while we had the time. My only complaint was that our bathroom sink was very slow to drain but I shared that with staff and feel confident it will be handled."

Rustic Cedar Cabin On Lake Lanier with Private Dock

8/10 Good

"We are checking out today and the property was as listed in Vrbo. When we got here we had no trouble accessing the property. It’s quite a hike from the house to the lake. So be prepared. We took stuff down with us so we weren’t having to go back and forth to the cabin a lot throughout the day. Me and my kids and dogs all enjoyed this property. It was really a great stay. Jeremiah was easily available by phone if we had any questions. The only bad thing was the grill was so dirty when we got here. But Jeremiah apologized and I was easily able to clean it. All the little things that you don’t think to pack, he has in the cabin. Cabin was clean when we arrived. The view from the private dock was amazing. We were able to swim and fish right from the dock. It was just a good stay all around. Much needed vacation. Walmart and restaurants are a 15 minute drive so that was also very nice."

Super 8 by Wyndham Gainesville

8/10 Good

"Don't expect anything fancy. I chose this location due to it's proximity to NE GA Medical Center and the price. It was more than sufficient for a one-night stay. Room was clean, good hot water in the shower, cool A/C. Bed was comfy enough. It was a little noisy in the morning. The front desk staff both at night and at check-out were super nice. They do take a $50 deposit on top of your room rate that is supposed to be refunded.. it has been 5 business days and I have yet to receive that refund. I will be contacted the hotel directly to check on that."
