We were annoyed that there was only street parking or distant parking garages (both charging parking fees). The reception Was not at entry level but at the second level. The lighting in the room was confusing to use and dim. The TV would not connect to Netflix. The phone didn’t work. The room was in decorated and felt sterile. The beds were comfortable. Breakfast was delicious. The breakfast attendant lady was so welcoming and kind. Overall, it was very beautiful place in a great location.

I'm a fan of Hyatt Place. I''ve stayed at them in many parts of the US and have always been pleased with my stays. This is a good hotel with a big but..... BEWARE!!!!!! There is no guest parking at this hotel. There is also NO VALET service at this hotel. The closest parking is a public parking garage 2 blocks away.

This property is positioned in downtown Gainesville in an incredibly walkable area with shops, restaurants, art offering (theatre) and it seems like no other hotel was which makes this a total find. It was comfortable and people were nice but you literally can't beat the location. Will definitely return.

Loved our stay here. The hotel was clean, spacious, and located in a central part of town close to the hospital. The breakfast was 5 stars. The only complaint is the parking. There is no parking or valet for this hotel. You can only park in the spots near for up to 3 hours during the day. They need to offer some type of valet service. There are parking garages around but they are either $30 a day or very far away for the affordable one. I had a newborn with me and needed to visit my other twin newborn at Shands. Walking very long distances to a parking garage was not best. There is a large population of homeless people who hang around as well.
