Hotel Eleo at the University of Florida
The Hotel Eleo is a good find and great location for a stay in Gainesville. The valet staff was excellent and super quick. The hotel lobby area is nice and clean. My only complaint is the mattress was uncomfortable and the towels are well worn and should be replaced.

Sleep Inn & Suites University/Shands
Very average hotel with subpar amenities. I stayed 4 nights and received no turn-down service. Would recommend as an affordable very short-term stay.
