| This trip was definitely the best value for my money. After searching the internet for accommodations near Shands Hospital, I chose Travelodge on the recommendations of AARP. I liked the location because even though it was very near the interstate, it was really kind of remote -- away from the major flow of traffic and quiet. My husband's hospital stay has been longer than anticipated and the trek from Tallahassee to Gainesville was too much to do on a regular basis so Travelodge became my home away from home. I took advantage of their Trip Reward Program and earned a couple of free nights. My husband's stay has amounted now to more than 75 days and I'm sure that at least one-third of that time I provided lodging for myself and family members at Travelodge - Gainesville.There is nothing fancy at all about this hotel but you can not beat the value and hospitality! |

| The hotel needs to be renovated. Simple things as the paint in the rooms and door to the room should be clean and working properly, even if it's a low star hotel. The AC was good. |

| My first impression was, the door rusted, the dirty rug, and the poor attention from the people who managed the hotel. |

| we did not stay I reserved three weeks ahead I am handicaped we went early and were told our room would be ready after three,we went back and were told that someone had been in our room for a week they had other rooms but were not sure what time they would be ready. and they did not fit my needs.All this was told to us by the same person!He also said we should not use a third party meaning hotel-guides.us. because they didn't know what rooms they had!I have used this site often and never had trouble. |

| The size and cleanliness of the bathroom was impressive! But the carpet caused our crawling baby girl to become filthy. And the beds had clearly outlived their use; it felt as though one was being jabbed in the ribs all night, causing us to wake up with sore backs. |

| Do NOT count on the Wi-Fi at this hotel. I carried my laptop all over the room, and only got signal up against the windows. Even then, I could only load a page or two (if I was lucky) before I had to reconnect. |

| Everything about the motel was great, I enjoyed my stay. The housekeeper was especially helpful and friendly, I enjoyed talking with her. The only problem was where the motel is located; next to I-75, but I understand that situation and the noise, although a little bothersome, did not deter my rest/sleep. Thank you! |

| It was okay. I went down to Florida for the Auburn vs. Florida game and it was fine for the weekend. The pet fee was cheap so I brought my dog. The room was fine and the location and grounds were fine for the star quality. The only problem I had was the tub did not drain properly. Would not mind staying here again. War Eagle! |

| Convenient to UF and i75. Older motel with few amenities other than free continental breakfast and a pool. It does allow pets for a reasonable $10 extra, but this fee should be noted in the listing and was not. Kind of noisy because it is directly adjacent to the highway. |

| This hotel was fine for the price. The furniture was dirty and the bedspread was stained. Mattresses were quite worn out. Bathroom was pretty clean. |

| The location was great. It was clean and not trashy. The staff was really nice and courteous. The suit was nice except I expected two separate bedrooms; however, there were two pull out love seats, which was ok. The pillows were firm, and bedcover seemed fresh. Pillows would have been nicer for a king size bed but overall it was a pleasant stay. |

| Overall, the hotel was clean and neat. Unfortunately, there was apparently a fraternity party also staying there and they were up, outside and loud until approximately 7a.m. |

| It was clean and comfortable but I could not access the internet the faucet fell apart, the radio had to be turned off by turning down the volume. I had to turn the lights on by hand so the switches would turn them on and off. |

| Staff was pleasant enough but I would not stay again because it is such need of renovation. |

| The room was clean but smelled strongly of chemicals. The noise from the nearby highway was unabated. |
