Hyatt Place Gainesville Downtown
The location is amazing. The downtown area is restored and has great restaurants, cafes and boutiques. Hotel was nice, unfortunately we missed the breakfast, which is supposed to be great… We had to find parking, because of the location. But a garage was not that far away.

Comfort Inn University
The back door electric lock has been broken for 3 weeks and didn't lock. According to the front desk clerk, the owners were too cost cutting to replace it which creates a security risk. Otherwise a nice clean place to stay.
