Best Hotels near SFA Main Office, Gainesville

Mr. Leon Ford and Paula honestly were amazing. We booked our stay on Expedia and had accidentally put our stay for the wrong date. After staying on the phone with Expedia for over an hour, we had come to the lobby for help. They immediately were on the phone helping us. We were able to get our room for the night. They were so awesome and eager to help. This is by far the best staff I’ve come into with red roof and will be booking again with them as we come to this area every couple of weeks. Our check out experience was lovely and easy. Leon was super helpful and really all around an awesome person. I hope these 2 are recognized for their outstanding jobs and personality’s. Great job as a manager, in my opinion having staff like this makes the experience a great one! THANK YOU!

Worst experience ever. When we arrived we could already tell we were in for a treat. There were people standing around outside smoking all over the place. When I went into the lobby to sign in the lobby tv was extremely loud so the desk staff could sit and watch tv. We checked in with no problems. The trash cans all around the place were overflowing with trash and clearly had not been cleaned in many days. We walked into our room and it was not very clean. The floor looked and felt like it had not been mopped in weeks. There was no way we were walking around with shoes on. There was a hole in the wall and the shower area looked like it had not been wiped down in several months. We book a room with two bed but noticed there was only one towel. We went down to the front desk to get enough for the four of us, and were told we don't have any they are on backorder. That is was not her job to do the housekeepings job. We begged and pleaded and got two more towels and a bathmat to use as our fourth towel. Again people just hanging out smoking all over the place. As we were checking out, there was a pile of dog poop in front of the elevator that had clearly been there for awhile. Instead of cleaning it up they put a yellow caution sign over it.The mattresses were about as comfortable as a college dorm mattress. Very cheap. All of the counters had dust or a film on them. Not sure if I was cleaner walking in or leaving the shower. Worst experience ever.

We learned about Drury Inns from a customer of ours. She raved and raved so we had to give it a try. We had a trip planned and needed a half-way point to stay at. Location was right off of I75 so very convenient. The lobby was immaculate and the front desk people were super nice and helpful. We got there right when the dinner/happy hour was starting and were very pleased with that as well! Lots of great choices at breakfast too! The room we stayed in was immaculate and the beds were super comfy. Tried to book a room for another trip yesterday but, sadly, they were full and we had to stay at another place.

My wife and I were pleasantly surprised at how clean the room and bathroom was in fact, the entire facility inside was comfortable looking. we like the composite floors that were in the bedroom and bathroom and how modern things were. Even the TV had many channels which were acceptable viewing for that evening. We have stayed at Fairfield Inn in the past because of the quality standard and cleanliness of their facilities but I feel this was right up there with their operation. Even the complementary breakfast food quality was a pleasant surprise. Keep it up my wife and I feel we have a new choice of hotel to stay at.

A friend and I found this to be a great stopover on a 3000 mi. driving trip. The room was large, clean, and (most importantly) comfortable. As a newer hotel, it looked very attractive, with the latest in amenities and decorations. It is very easy to find, parking wasn't difficult, and check-in went smoothly. It is a short drive from a small shopping mall, where one can pick up forgotten items. For sustenance, we simply walked across the street to a casual eatery (Perkins), which was OK, though not as adventuresome as we ordinarily would choose. My sister, who stays here often, recommended this, and I'm happy to pass on her recommendation!

Prior to arriving at this beautiful hotel I spoke with the manager Travis, without hesitation he agreed to hold my son’s packages for his dorm until we arrived. The hotel is GORGEOUS. All the staff is friendly and appears to love working there. Travis thank you so much for taking care of my family and all the other gator families at the hotel. Because of your generosity and dedication to us we will be staying here the next 4 years. I don’t think I’ve enjoyed a hotel stay like this in years. Kudos Fairfield. Lisa Gold

The traffic is very convenient, the room is large, the price is acceptable, the breakfast is rich, the lobby is particularly clean and beautiful, the front desk staff is warm and efficient, free parking, the bed is very comfortable, there is a refrigerator and microwave, the decoration is new, the aisle is very wide, and the room includes breakfast , Overall feel first-class service, clean and comfortable, feel like home, it is worth recommending, I would like to live here next time.

We were very tired after driving for 2 days and decided to stay an extra night in Gainesville. We saw your hotel and decided to try it. We were very pleased by everything. The staff were so courteous and nice - the room was very nice with great amenities - and the breakfast was outstanding! Cereal and yogurt are usually my favs, but the biscuits and gravy, eggs and sausage caught my attention. Delicious! There was yummy blueberry muffins and coffee to top off breakfast. What a treat! We would definitely stay with you again! I've also been telling our friends how wonderful HOM is!

I wish I had read some of the recent reviews of this hotel before I had checked in. True, this hotel is under construction and I understand that and have no issue with it. It's the way the hotel is presented on both the Marriott and the Trip Advisor website versus the reality of the dank, dark and musty rooms and the poor customer service that's so disappointing. You can fix the rooms with renovation, but you can't fix attitude with one. When getting to the front desk, no greeting, no smile, just ”last name”? Handed me my key and that was that. As a Lifetime Titanium Elite, I would have at least expected how I would like my bonus points to be be used. Not the end of the world. I asked directions to my room and she pointed and said without looking up, ”Down that hall”. Nothing else was offered or said. Again, not the end of the world, but then when you go to your room and it's so terribly dated with an odor, it all adds up. This place has a long.long way to go to measure up to the standard I've become used to in the majority of Marriott properties. And now that I have read the recent reviews of this property, before the GM responds with the sorry for the issues but the renovation will solve the problem, I'm noy buying it.
