"Clean room. Great price for a game weekend. Wonderful staff. Free shuttle to the gator game. Convenient location. My only complaint was a slight mildew smell in the room. Other than that a wonderful experience all around."

Red Roof Inn PLUS+ Gainesville

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The drapes did not fit the window very well so the sun light flowed in much earlier than we wanted. The shower was due for replacement but the water pressure was good. Their AC and small refrigerator worked well. It was not fancy but it was what we needed."
