Gainesville FL Travelodge

Just what we wanted

We were there for a football game and were looking for a place to sleep and it was exactly what we wanted. It was clean, it was convenient, and it was priced right.

old but clean

a great option for staying for gator games. the hotel is old, but they keep it clean and the staff was friendly.

nothing horrible, needs improvement

dirty floors/carpet, broken safe, and broken door (no chain lock & door got stuck, often)

Need Better Mattresses

Not too bad for the price. Had a problem with the mattress. I could feel all the springs. The mattress didn't have enough padding. If I decide to use again, I will bring a folded up comforter or something to sleep on. It was fairly clean. Just my night stand had several drippings that could have been wiped down towards the bottom. Everything else was ok for the price range.

3 star...really?

When I pulled up to the hotel I thought "oh boy this is not gonna be good". All room are entered from outside balcony walk way. When I got in the room I notice the door looked as though it had been kicked in at some point. The lock was scetchy at best. The Tv was small (15) In the morning the continental breakfast looked like it was from the vending machine but I ate my NUTRI GRAIN BAR and Orange anyway. The light in my bathroom (floresent tube) was flickering dim to bright but mostly dim to none. It was only then I spotted the roach cross the floor. The pool however was as advertised. This is NOT a 3 Star hotel but it was exactly what I was trying to avoid

Clean room but repairs needed

I stayed for two nights and the room was clean, bed comfortable and all the regular things worked normally. I brought my laptop but I was hard pressed to find an available outlet to enjoy the free wireless Internet. Finally had to unplug one of the lamps, not too big a deal. The room didn't contain an iron or ironing board, but I was able to get one from the office. The bathroom door hinge was broke so it wouldn't close the door without using alot of strength and then opening it made alot of noise also, not helpful when others are sleeping. Finally, got back to the room at about 3pm and the outside door wouldn't open. Got a new room key from the office and it did open but seemed to be a bit stuck at the top. I did get in and then realized I forgot something in the car and when I tried to open the front door again, it was stuck fast at the top and would not open. Obviously this was because the door expanded in the afternoon sunlight (my room faced the setting sun) but I couldn't get out of the room unless I broke the door. Called the office and the gal said she would send someone to fix it. Waited an hour, no one came and called again. Gal at the front desk didn't understand and was ready to give me another room when I emphasised strongly that I really can't get out of the room at all. She finally understood and told me that the maintenance staff had left for the day but she would send the General Manager. He came quickly and after a few moments was able to pry the door open. Squired some WD-40 and confirmed I could open it from the inside. He was nice but the experience was not what you would call spectacular. I would go there again because the room was nice but if I had a repeat of this experience, I would go elsewhere.

You get what you pay for

This was a pit stop on the way to Georgia. The biggest problem was the smell of cat piss in the bathroom and the fact that our room faced I-75 and the traffic kept us awake. So for the money it is what it is. You don't want to come here thinking that you are going to a resort because it's not. It seemed to me that it was a "no tell motel".

dirty and unsafe hotel

The hotel was rather beat-up, the rooms felt grimy and unclean, the area did not seem very safe, and only one other room on our side of the hotel was booked, which made us feel like a giant target for crime. There was very little around the hotel to do, eat, or see and continental breakfast looked like it was purchased at the gas station across the street. My husband and I are going to make a point of avoiding Travelodges in the future.
