Hampton Inn & Suites Gainesville

The hot breakfast would have made the stay worthwhile by itself: fresh red potatoes, waffles, muffins, fruit, and plenty more, all replenished and served in a spotless area. They even had brown bags for breakfast to-go if you were in a hurry, a thoughtful touch. The lobby was shiny and spotless, and Anna, the general manager, was an absolute doll.

I paid over $220 for the “king studio,” and it didn't feel worth it. The room wasn't very clean or special, and there was no housekeeping during my stay, not even a towel or coffee restock. Dogs barked a few doors away both nights, and hallway noise went on until early morning. Breakfast was just okay, and the pool area was badly unkempt. I'd stayed here before and it wasn't great then either. I gave it another try, but won't be back.

We came to the area to visit casinos in Oklahoma! and this hotel was beyond top notch. I got a spacious, enjoyable suite on the top floor at the end of the hallway, where it was peaceful and quiet. We'll definitely stay again next time we're nearby.

We barely heard anything from the hall or other rooms, even with people talking, doors shutting, and TVs on. The window shade gave us privacy, a panoramic view, and helped keep the room cooler. Every surface in our room sparkled. Breakfast was hearty, with eggs, meat, waffles, fruit, cereal, and muffins. The staff were friendly and even suggested the zoo when we asked for a fun thing to do. There was ample parking, with lots of trees to keep the car a little cooler. Highway work made the service road bumpy, but that’s temporary.
