Next time I would ask not to be facing the Main Street. The cars woke me up a few times during the night but otherwise it was good. They do give you breakfast included in your stay. I did make myself a coffee in the morning so that was perfect! The rates vary during the year depending if there is a football game, graduation, etc. We did book through Priceline so check around as well. So that's a downside because you never know what you will be paying! Checkout was 11 a.m. so I don't know why housekeeping knocked on the door at 10 a.m. That was a little odd. The managers are very nice and it is just a couple of miles from UF which was perfect!

The rooms are fully updated with comfy beds, beautiful bathrooms, nice bath products, and doesn't feel like a roadside motel. The location is on a gorgeous spot on the Suwannee river with quite a few restaurants, grocery stores, etc. nearby. Only regret is that we didn't stay an additional night or two. Highly recommend!

One of my favorite songs Judy Garland sings is "Swanee River."…read more One day, as we passed the historic Suwannee Gables, I said to Sir Hubbers, "we have to stay at this hotel bc we love Judy singing: "I've been away from you a long time I never thought I'd miss you so Somehow I feel, your love is real, Near you I long to be! The birds are singing, it is song time The banjos strummin' soft and low I know that you Yearn for me too, Swanee, you're calling me! Swanee! How I love you, how I love you My dear old Swanee! I'd give the world to be Among the folks in D-I-X-I-E ven now my Mammy's waiting for me, Praying for me Down by the Swanee The folks up north will see me no more When I go to the Swanee Shore!" So we planned a stop. We got the cutest brand new room with a travertine shower! We love it. Except for the linens, but we always carry our own with us anyway. The property has a whole park like setting, dock & marina by the Suwannee River. It is a super cute property throughout with tropical gardens, fruit trees & roses etc., The pool is amazeballs. It's def a blast from the past. "Suwannee, you're calling me!" If you ever find yourself on the Nature Coast, you got to stop at the historic "Suwannee Gables." Recommend.

The bathroom had a walk in shower which is pretty mandatory for me when booking a room. The not so good. If you like minimalist decor, you will love this place. I, however found it too extreme, almost clinical with bare walls glaringly dominating the space. The absolute deal breaker. Arriving and unloading was a ridiculous undertaking. Never have I experienced such a set up. I had no energy or patience to park our truck blocks away, (no available spots in front of hotel) check in on the 2nd floor (seriously?) and then wrangle a very large luggage cart back to our vehicle. I gave my husband the printed map found at the front desk that showed the designated parking areas. I suggested he try the "free" lot first. Thank goodness he found a spot but only because a car was just leaving. The lot was small with only 20 or so parking spaces. I'm sorry, but this type of juggling and maneuvering to get into a hotel was unacceptable. They should have paid us for all the work. Never again.

Firstly, the hotel is a solid 5-star hotel. Clean. Modern. And with a staff that seems competent…read moreand polite. Secondly, the hotel is in a solid 5-star area where one can easily access food, bars, and cultural options. Therefore, it's fair to ask, "Why the 3-star rating?" The answer comes in two parts: 1) Loud engines, loud mufflers, loud music, loud sirens, etc. The hotel cannot control these factors, yet as someone who easily contracts ear infections, wearing earplugs is rather unattractive. No stars to be gained here, just a stinky scenario to endure. 2) Parking stinks. For free 'green zone' parking, the walk from the hotel to the car was nearly a half mile. And if the weather is poor, as it was in the morning after our stay, parking stinks even more. The hotel cannot control these factors; no stars to be gained here. A 5-star hotel minus a star for loud noise and minus a star for poor parking garners a 3-star rating. When we stay in Gainesville again, this will not be one of our options.

Another review I swore I wrote. Even thought we reside in Ocala, we have stayed here twice in the…read morepast year when my husband had to depart or arrive at Gainesville Regional Airport. We have stayed at another hotel in the past but it is not part of the Hilton brand. Both times we stayed here, the weather was colder. The first time, we used the fire pit outside and the fireplace in the lobby was on but not the recent visit. I was looking forward to that. We had a digital key and I arrived prior to hubs, with no issues. The room was clean but there were no regular coffee kcups- just tea and decaf. I unfortunately did not notice that until the morning but was smart enough to bring my own. I used the shower first, which the cold water was almost non existent. If I turned the dial maybe to the 11 o'clock dial, it was not scolding my skin. The water also felt very slimy, which I believe means the water was soft. We had credits to use so after I picked up hubs, we went to the bar in the lobby for a couple of drinks. There was only one employee working and he was super busy. There were a lot of patrons there so we ordered drinks from him in between him taking care of others. We were enjoying ourselves lounging in the lobby and were able to order a second round. Their lobby is very nice and cozy. We requested a late checkout when we were done and told 1pm. Hubs paid in advance for the breakfast so we headed there around 10am. When we checked at the front desk, one of the breakfast staff informed us they did not have much food left. I thought that was messed up because breakfast is not included so there should be plenty of stock. The kitchen dude cooked us up some eggs and bacon, which I think was the last of what they had. We also checked with the desk to assure we had the late checkout, to which the employee gave us an earlier time. We then reiterated what was given to us the previous night and he put it in the computer. Shockingly, housekeeping knocked on the door of course at noon and we had to tell them again. We do like this hotel and will consider this location the next time we stay in Gainesville but will not pay for the breakfast and I will have to check immediately entering the room for supplies. The staff were professional and friendly so that is always a positive attribute.

**UPDATE** After speaking to customer service, they DID credit me some hilton rewards point. So…read morethey DID make up for the stay. Grateful for that** Immediately upon arrival there were young kids playing baseball in parking lot, parents got upset that I wanted to get through to park car...that was the beginning of the end...went in to check in and noticed they were hosting A LOT of kids baseball players. I asked if I left and didnt check if if they'd NOT charge me as I didnt want to stay in a Hilton with a lot of screaming obnoxious kids. Clerk said that NO they WOULD still charge me. OOOOOK then. Then mid conversation with desk girl, some rude dude stumbles up to the front desk asking where the bar is. Front desk cuts off my conversation and tells him where to go to meet his friends. Like what?! You're checking me in...why cater to that type of person when you're already dealing with a guest? There were limited rooms available so I was on first floor. The room itself was great...except mini frig didn't work (apparently common in gainesville) However, within minutes of being in room with door shut I could hear and feel the thumping music and kids screaming. I was there on a BUSINESS trip. I detest thumping foul music to begin with but especially at a HILTON! I expect more than that. I've never had this problem or any problem at any other Hilton other than now the 2 in Gainesville. I was advised by the front desk that "quiet time" starts at 11pm. That's pure insanity and totally unacceptable. In the morning when I checked out the gentleman that was at front desk asked how my stay was. I replied "awful" He wanted to know why. I proceeded to explain and he made excuses the entire time. Told me "That's Gainesville. A sports community." blah blah blah. I don't care if it's Gainesville or anywhere else, when I go to a Hilton I expect peace, quiet, quality otherwise I could stay at a grotesque Motel 8 or some nasty place. Ironically though I've now stayed at 2 different Hiltons in Gainesville and apparently "it IS Gainesville" equates to low quality, substandard service and accommodations. The other hilton was gross/nasty/maintenance issues but quiet...The Garden Inn Hilton was opposite...clean but loud, rude and obnoxious. After this stay, I've decided I will no longer be doing business in Gainesville because it's apparent that the Hilton's there don't meet my expectations like they do in Ormond Beach, Daytona and other areas. TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY and wish I had driven the 300+ miles home when I was done with my client on Saturday instead of staying...had I known how bad it was going to be, I'd have gone ahead and lost my $170 for the night and driven straight back. TOTAL FAIL on Hilton.

I will admit the owner did say they were working on updating the motel and it shows from older pictures to today. The logo is updated. They've painted the buildings and done what they could to improve it. But yeah it's still a cheap motel in High Springs. The rooms have decades of paint build up. Light switch locations are strange. But there are the usual hotel accommodations like a tv, small dorm fridge, soap/shampoo, etc. I will say the soap felt like a domino piece and never seemed to really suds up? Very strange if I'm honest. So yeah, guys trip cheap motel this is a good choice. Also the Pink Flamingo diner and bar across the street is a solid food choice.

We rented the Lilly cabin which was half a house w 1 bedroom and a full kitchen. It even included a 2 person spa tub which would have been very inviting but it was summer in Florida. The bathroom was spacious, large shower w good water pressure and plenty of hot water. Other features include a large covered porch w rocking chairs, comfortable king bed w a soft mattress (I'm used to an expensive Tempur-pedic mattress and hard to please). Breakfast was a highlight, made on site by a talented chef. Spanish fritata, scrambled eggs, cheese grits, homemade muffins, scones, & pastries, biscuits & gravy, waffles, peach cobbler. It was all so good. They do weddings here and the garden area is scenic and shady w water features and a bridge. There are several backdrops to say your vows, a soft, manicured lawn and covered and/or indoor space for a reception. I booked this for a romantic weekend getaway and my wife kept saying how nice of a place I picked. Also, there are several roaming cats that belong here who are very friendly. The location is great, being downtown g-ville, walking distance to a little park and restaurants. Overall 10/10, will come back next time we're in town.
