Staybridge Suites - Gainesville I-75, an IHG Hotel

The room was spacious with a full-sized refrigerator, 2 burner cooktop and dishwasher. Everything was very clean, but there was no antiseptic smell which I appreciated. The bathroom was so clean, that I even took a bath...which is NOT something I will typically do in a hotel room AND I felt comfortable sitting and relaxing on the sofa. The airconditioning was quiet and worked perfectly...thermostat on the wall. I was on the 5th floor away from the elevator as requested and my room was very quiet. I was near the road, but could not hear any traffic. The fitness room was well equipped with multiple treadmills, stationary bikes, ellipticals, dumbbells and a cable machine. The pool area was clean and lived up to what I had expected from the pictures and, even though it was hot, there were many shady spots with cabanas, umbrellas, or trees. The breakfast was typical fare for hotels of this type, fresh fruit, yogurt, eggs (a little salty for me) waffle makers, etc. But nothing special. The kids in the breakfast area seemed happy with their choices.

My family and I stayed there due to the hurricane that was coming. I think we probably looked and went back and forth from hotel to air b&b for almost 2 days. Finally we decided to go with a hotel and low and behold I had Genius level 2 and it showed me Staybridge, I liked the way the hotel looked and it was the only one that had the King Suite available and I needed 3 of them. I booked on line and then called to see if I could have the rooms close together, They had already did that for me!! I was blown away, never has a hotel done that on their own!! This one did! Not only was the hotel Beautiful, rooms and bed comfy and the breakfast amazing, but the entire staff was awesome! So nice, helpful, caring, and you could just tell they liked what they do! I def will be going back. Even though I live around the corner from the hotel, That's how much I love it and it will be my little mini home away from home when I just need a min to myself to breathe! : ) OH and another thing, the pool was open til 10 pm, I even saw people in there after that time too!

Convenient location to Univ of Florida. Good breakfast. Not only efficient and friendly staff but they were happy people. Everyone we encountered in Gainesville was happy. There was an outdoor area and pool that were utilized well. The grounds were well kept as was the interior. Would stay there again and would be disappointed if we couldn’t stay there. It was also super close to restaurants and shopping.

The staff were absolutely the best. Service desk, housekeeping and bfast staff. All so friendly. They went above and beyond for us. Even my chihuahuas loved them. Had to be there because hurricane Helene. I was so stressed and from the minute I walked in, the kindness was so soothing. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay.

Several things I liked about my stay is the breakfast (especially important when having multiple family members), pool/spa/outside area, late check out, if there was an issue, it was addressed promptly and with ease, friendly/knowledgeable staff, available parking, clean/neat room (including having Dove soap, hand wash, lotion, shampoo & conditioner), LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.
