Underwater Home w/Game Room ~6 min to Stadium & Downtown / 2 King Beds &Fire Pit
We had a great stay in this house. Very cute decorations…very well done. The house is older but very comfortable. A perfect amount of space for the 3 of us. Located close enough to everything but also far enough away from the craziness.

Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida
If you’re looking to stay near campus for a game and you appreciate an art deco/modern feel, this is it. The bar is swanky as well and the staff was A-1.

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands
Very average hotel with subpar amenities. I stayed 4 nights and received no turn-down service. Would recommend as an affordable very short-term stay.
