Top hotels in Innovation District

Hilton University of Florida Conference Center Gainesville
The room, location, and staff were perfect. The only reason it didn't receive five stars is that if you are staying for a day and there is an event or conference, it may be impossible to find parking. The morning food option in the cafe was lackluster.
