Good place, super easy check in and friendly staff. Room was not as clean as I expected from a Hilton, probably due to the age of the hotel. There were no water bottles in the room, which I thought a basic amenity.

One Night in Gainesville

I was in town for a baseball game at Condron Ballpark and was glad to see that the Hilton is an easy walk to the stadium. Easy to find, easy check-in, friendly staff, easy parking, quiet and comfortable room, and a terrific No Name Lounge for drinks and light fare. My second time staying here and I'd recommend it without question.

One of nicer properties in gainesville great for UF related events. Easy access and parking. Shula’s steakhouse onsite one of best restaurants in town. Negatives: it’s tired. Rooms need furniture updates, beds not very comfortable, feels understaffed but those working were very nice and working hard.

Very disappointed with this stay. When I booked online i specifically asked for 2 rooms with one room with 2 queen beds and we were given rooms with only one bed. A roll away was unexceptable as the point of booking online is to get what you book for due to the people in your party that are traveling with you. No other rooms were available to move to.
