Hilton Garden Inn Gainesville

Definitely a five star beer brewery. They have all types of beer and he place is out of this world. Hidden in swamp forest the view is the little lake is breathtaking
Dogs allowed
Cool place to chill

This is a clean and nice hotel. In the past month I have stayed here on three separate occasions. The staff is very friendly and nice. They are respectful, and courteous.
The hotel management has gone out of their way to place a large emphasis on the cleanliness of the rooms. In each of my three stays, I had the pleasure of staying in three separate rooms. Each room was very clean. Even inside the drawers.
My only reason for giving this hotel a three star rating is v cause the walls between rooms are very thin. During One of my stays I was kept awake till 3 am because there was a party in the room next to me. You could hear loud conversations and tv.

I would stay there again but definately not a perfect hotel. When I checked in with the family I was offered JELLO SHOTS! I realize it’s a college town and realize that some people might love a free drink or shots. but I thought it was really funny to be offered that with a child in my arms. The room was super clean. The tv by 2015 standards. The shower was excellent. Linnens good. But had a few problems getting a good night sleep. For one, the window mounted ac system was super noisy and the in room fridge sounded like a jet airplane. We ended up unplugging the fridge. The ceiling and walls were also really thin. You could hear people walking and moving stuff around all night. Made it hard to get a good night sleep. We had perks that provided for free breakfast. Which was definately a good breakfast and great way to start the day.

I reserved a room four months in advanced and was told I would be able to modify the reservation up to 24 hours in advanced. When I tried to do this you doubled the price of the room. Essentially charging me the same price for one night that I would have paid for two. Beware stay at mariott instead!!! my friend booked only one night and got the rate of $ 139 for a Saturday night. I also notice the price went down to $ 119 but I was quoted $ 199. Beware!!!

Stopped here on a college tour to University of Florida with a group of 20 young girls and they were very accommodating with out group. The check-​in and check-​out process was extremely quick and easy which was very helpful. The host was friendly, answered our questions, and helped us get to our rooms very quickly after a long day.
The one problem I experienced was getting into the room. The key worked fine, as the green light would show to enter but the door was stuck and my the lady I shared a room with almost broke her hip tryin to push the door open. Anywhooooo… The rooms were spacious and the bathroom was also very spacious and looked as if had just been remodeled. The bed was extremely comfy and the fact that the AC kept the air circulating was a big plus as hotel rooms get a bit stuffy.
We took advantage of the breakfast (I think it was $ 9 a person) and the food was decent. They even had a cook to order situation where you could order an omelette or French toast. Good job Hilton Gainesville!

Despite our request for non smoking rooms and confirmation about availability we surprisingly find out that manager Trisha assign smoking rooms to family with 3 years old kid. She called us low priority customers since made reservation via Expedia. I wonder what her next step? Make separate entrance for customers with kids? I never met more Hateful person in my life. Surprise that Hilton even keep people like that. Her best explanation was that she personally always stay in smoking room with her child. I will never again stay at Hilton.

The hotel is nice and clean, however., the food (Steak Oscar $ 25) was horrible and so was the wait! We waited for our food for almost an hour and got my food with cold crab meats on top and no hollandaise sauce and fried onions like the menu said. The waitress didn’t even come to check on us while we wait on our food for almost an hour. The restaurant was under-​staffed! The duty manager was apologetic and gave us free breakfast coupon for the next day. It was a nice gesture but what I really wanted and expected is a decent food and service which I from the Hilton Hotels family. I’ve always stayed at Hilton UF when in town – but there were no rooms avail for whatever reason! Never again for this hotel!

Not a five-​star hotel, but it doesn’t have a five-​star price tag either so no complaints there. Located just outside of the heart of Gainesville, this little hotel is situated away from all the hustle and bustle but still close enough that getting around isn’t difficult. Room was cool and clean upon arrival, beds were GREAT, front desk provided free waters on two occasions, and the room had a mini fridge, which is more than you get in a lot of places. Slept soundly all night, but I did have an annoying light near my window which made me wish they had blackout curtains I could draw together. Otherwise, great stay.

There doesn’t seem to be many Clean, fairly updated hotels near Archer Road and I-​75 but this hotel is both. I have stayed here twice in the last 6 weeks with my service animal, he was treated at UFL small animal hospital and the staff here treat us well.
My rooms have always been clean without smelling like chemicals!
The staff is great, Eureka in particular is one of the kindest women I’ve ever met (ever!!) and working in a hotel, she is a big reason I stayed a second time! The food is ok (I’ve had much worse hotel food) but it’s hotel food, not a lot of creativity, I’m sure the chef is limited.
Overall it’s one of the best places to stay in Gainesville and if I need to return this is where I will stay.

They changed the TP! Softer. Must have read my review? Thank you! Makes a big difference.

A great way to wrap the two book tours with a great stay at HGI Gainesville. Very clean, quiet and comfortable. The buffalo chicken sandwich was wonderful and the staff was top notch.

CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN CLEAN! Comfortable rooms, comfortable beds, nice staff. Work out room is small, but I brought the zumba and they let me use an early empty conference room for an impromptu class. Staff is happy to see you and help you.

Out of the way but, still a solid Hilton property. That pretty much says it all.
The service is fine and the rooms are fine and the food is fine. Ok. Yawn. Stop reading now because I can’t write any more about this unremarkable but safe property.

So I hear footsteps?
Garden Inn isn’t my favorite Hilton brand, but the couple I’ve stayed at in the past year were clean with friendly and well-​trained staff. This one in Gainesville is all that. The breakfast in the morning is of good quality — certainly a few notches above any Homewood Suites, never mind a Hampton. But this property had a huge problem — we were on the third floor, and all night long, we heard this guy on the floor above us walking around. He either didn’t sleep or there were multiple people in that room, and at least ONE person was on an all-​night pacing mission/​vigil, or I was imagining everything. I did not get a good night sleep. Come to think of it, it’s a wonder that this isn’t a problem more often, but this time it sure was.

Clean rooms and great, friendly staff. Can’t ask for more than that.

Dated Rooms
We stayed here on our trip because we had stayed at another Garden Inn that was very updated and nice. However it was the contrary on this Garden Inn. Very puke rooms that are 15 years dated. It was average for being clean, but the décor was hard to get over. I wouldn’t recommend to be honest.

Hilton website said this was a newly built hotel. Front desk said it is over 5 years old and they are doing renovations starting on 4^th floor. We are on second and it is dated… Not terrible but not what I was expecting after booking online and looking forward to a new hotel.

Hotel décor is new.
Bed are great!
Staff service and the breakfast café were awesome! There is a line cook there who is happy to make you an omelette of your choosing.
Room service is handled by Texas roadhouse which is definitely ok by me.
My only complaint (and the reason for the subsequest 3 stars) is that the walls in this place are made of tissue paper. I’m thinking that they guy upstairs was either:
a) running wind sprints most of the night
or
b) trying to catch his pet Gerbil
The gentleman in the room next to me was in the washroom quite a bit.
And lastly, the woman across the hall must have watched Finding Nemo at least 2 times.
Either way, I’d stay again.

Spent one night after driving all day. You cannot find a fault with this hotel if you tried. Exceptional customer service, quiet dark room, the best bed I ever slept on. I always make fun of people who say they use of take the soap and shampoo from hotels. I took the soap and shampoo! Loved the quality of everything here.
Where can I get a bed like that?

Beware! If you book this hotel online through expedia or
, you are not guaranteed a non-​smoking room, even if the room is listed as a non-​smoking. The tobacco smell of our room was unbearable, and apparently four other online booking guests who had yet to arrive were also stuck in smoking rooms despite a non-​smoking preference.
Despite the hassle, the front desk staffer was extremely helpful and considerate with finding a different hotel. This would be a one star review were it not for his much appreciated help.
