This review is for the Holiday Inn Gainesville. We were given room 314, which was far from what we expected. The hotel is undergoing construction, which wasn’t disclosed at the time of booking. We had requested and paid for a King room but were instead given a double. The 3rd floor hallways smelled musty and moldy, the bathroom light was broken, and the shower had almost no water pressure. The room itself was poorly maintained, with visible cracks on the walls and ceiling. When I asked to change rooms, I was told there were none available. I ended up checking out and booking another hotel. Essentially, I paid for a weekend stay (Friday to Sunday) at a hotel where I didn’t stay. I booked through Hotels.com, I’ve been told I have to request a refund through them. I use Hotels.com for all my bookings, but unless this issue is resolved, I will no longer use their service in the future. I have attempted to contact their customer service multiple times via phone and virtual chat, with no resolution. This experience has been incredibly frustrating, and their lack of support is unacceptable.

Room was pretty dirty and run down. The workers at the hotel were fine - I had no issue at all with service - but the property is very, very run down.

When we arrived, we were told our room was cancelled but there was never an email or phone call to us regarding the cancellation. Also, we got an email earlier in the day stating that our room was ready and if we had any preference. Luckily, they had extra rooms for us but the room that we got didn't have a refrigerator or wifi and was still in the middle of a renovation so there was no door frame and other things were missing as well. I expected some sort of discount for the inconvenience but nothing was provided. Finally, the front desk lady was not very nice and didn't really care about our frustrations or concerns.

The hotel is under renovation, but the room is from 1980 and should not be rented!

During hurricane, we are staying without power. Our flight was postponed that is early morning to afternoon. We were asking for late checkout because half of city was no power. The staff said we should check out 11 am. Next time, I never use this hotel.

This property overbooked the rooms on a football game weekend where the rooms were inflated to $900/nt. They offered to accommodate 8 people into 4 king rooms rather than 2 double queen rooms but were requiring us to pay even more for the additional rooms needed due to their negligence. The staff was rude and ultimately cancelled the reservation all together when we argued that we should not be charged more to accommodate our group.

Sometimes action speak louder than words, we reserved and paid in full for 2 night stay for a room with 2 queen beds in this Hotel because of location! Upon check in we were told that Hotel is going through renovations and were told that 2 beds are not available, so we settled for a king bed for 3 people They offered to bring a rollaway bed. At first they gave us keys for the wrong room, then I went downstairs and said they made a mistake and gave us the keys for the right room. As we entered the room, it was a corner room with windows all around covered by shades. The room had a musty smell and had a feel of a hospital room, not a hotel room. We called Expedia to see if we could cancel our reservation and book at a different hotel; Expedia reached out to the hotel management to see if they will waive the cancellation fee, which was higher than the total price that we already payed for the room. Hotel management refused. We realized that we would not stay there and booked a room in a different hotel, willing to take a loss rather than to stay in those conditions. We stayed at the Comfort Suites Inn and had a wonderful stay.

I wanted to love my star here. It was very close to campus, the ONLY plus. There were homeless people out front, and one chased my son and tried to take his chain off his neck. There were Creepy construction people staring at me in the elevator. There was blood on the ceiling of one shower, mold in corners of the shower, grime on the da user and black grease marks on the bed skirt. They used a strong smelling disinfectant that smelled horrible. The staff was very nice and I felt bad for them. Not their fault, but this place was very dirty and had homeless people around day and night

Under heavy construction and limited parking. The check-in process took too long. The first room they gave me was never cleaned. Towels on the floor and the bed u made. I believe they will return to better standards after construction but right now I would not go back.
