It has a very nice, airy, grand reception area. Parking is plenty. The only thing negative is the condition of the bathroom. It needs to be detailed. There are a lot of smudges on the walls and rust on the tub and sink. The sink drains very very slowly.

This Hilton rocks!

I have stayed at this Hilton a number of times over the years. One time I booked less expensive, but changed last minute as I feel safe at this Hilton. Then on this stay, they noticed my door was open and no personal belingings were in the room after I had checked in. (I had never gone up.) They called me to assure I was OK and not in trouble. Housekeeper left it open. I was impressed by their caring and vigilence for guest safety.

I went for my nephews graduation from University Of Florida Gainesville. The room was over $700/night. Did not include breakfast. Room had worn minimal towels. Shower had mildew on walls. Bathroom ceiling paint was bubbled and shoddy looking.

Not to Hilton standards!

My first impression, I thought it was very expensive for what was offered. For starters I was given a handicap accessible room with a small and uncomfortable shower. The shower floor was slippery and not practical. The front desk was very serviceable and nice. The overall feel of the hotel was pleasant BUT not up to "Hilton" standards. The room had no drinking water, not even for the coffee maker. The fact that the front desk only gives you one bottle of water when requested, is not good practice or good service. The bed was comfortable, and the room was clean. The drinking water situation was not good at all. This must change in your hotels. My feeling was I paid too much money for a property that didn't provide adequate service and comfort to their patrons. You have my contact information. Feel free to reach out and we can discuss further. Thank you and have a great day.

I checked out yesterday May 3rd around 10am from room 219. After 3-4 hours we realized that we left my husband's blue Blazer, a blue button down shirt and toiletries bag. It amazes me how poorly the hotel has responded to this issue. No one has been able to answer us about the items. We called housekeeping non stop no one answers the phone and the mailbox is full so we con not leave a message The only ones that have been trying to help are the front desk people but not even them have been able to figure out how to get in contact with housekeeping Again it was just hours when we realized that we left the items in the room but more than 24hrs passed since we have tried to reach out to the hotel with not resolution this is just unacceptable that no one has been able to respond to us and the more time passes probably harder to find our belongings.

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.
