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.

Holy cow. Staying here was awful…read more The building itself is very nice. Very clean and comfortable. However, I have NEVER stayed in a louder hotel in my life. We stayed there after a 14 hour drive. We were eager to get into bed and fall asleep. When we got into bed, we realized that we weren't going to get much (or any) sleep. The AC unit was insanely loud for about 3-4 minutes after it shut off but honestly that wasn't the worst of it. All night long, all we could hear was the interstate traffic. IT WAS SO LOUD ALL NIGHT LONG. It felt like we were in the median of the interstate. I had to wear headphones blasting white noise to even get an hour or two of rest. Do not stay here if you want sleep.

"They reproduce rapidly, carry bacteria, and their droppings can trigger allergies, making them a significant health concern."

We chose this hotel due to price reviews and looked nice in pics. It also had a 1 bedroom suite that had a pull out sofa in living room so didn't need to get to rooms since our son is an adult and didn't want out to all cram into one room with two beds. The lobby looked nice and made our way to room. Dropped off luggage and went to eat. Upon our return we noticed there were only three pillows in the room and they were on the smaller side. I went down to ask for more pillows and was told they didn't have any since they were all locked up in housekeeping and they left at 5. It was 530. She the proceeded to tell me she could give me a blanket to use????? I told her there were 3 adults and only 3 pillows and she to recent neck and shoulder surgery I needed to prop myself up so asked her if she could ask manager to open housekeeping. She informed me they were also gone. I then asked if she could get some from a vacant room and she said she would ask manager. She went into the back and a couple minutes later came out with two more pillows and said this was all they could do. Wait so you did have some??? You lied??? How many more were back there??? I went back to room very irritated and was informed there was no sheets or blankets for the pull out. Mind you none in room. Went back down and got those. Thinking this place had worse service than the motel 6 I stayed in 20 years ago I then discovered there was a smell of sewage coming from toilet. Due to what time it was and how tired we were from traveling we just put seat down and shut the doors. Stay away from this place. Pay more it's worth it trust me. In all honesty I would take a 6 over this place.

This brought my rating down four stars.

The outdoor space is very relaxing and a great place to hang out and enjoy yourself. The breakfast is always very satisfying when we come here. They offer a nice variety with just about anything you can think of. The staff does a great job keeping it tidy and the food restocked. I enjoy the fresh fruit they provide, it is so refreshing! As well as the variety of pastries including the scones and filled muffins, yummy. The eggs are always good and I appreciate that they always have pico, guacamole, and cheeses for toppings.
