Top Downtown Gainesville Hotel Reviews

Chateau Elan

10/10 Excellent

"The ambiance was amazing all all events restaurants tasting weee amazing. We will be back."

Baymont Inn & Suites by Wyndham Braselton

10/10 Excellent

"Though this hotel is kind of tucked away off the main road and the entrance is not readily apparent (The local road-system architect must be a fool), the hotel was expellant in all aspects. It is not a 5-star resort, but for a long weekend stay it is far above those hotels I normally stay in at this price point."

The Smith House

10/10 Excellent

"The Smith House is wonderful. The rooms are cozy and clean. The bed was comfortable. I would just suggest that the room not have a coffee pot. No one really uses them in the rooms. Might think about having a coffee pot self serve in each of the buildings, in the main room, like the sitting area. The staff was great!! The location is great! We are already planning our next visit!"

Holiday Inn Express & Suites Dahlonega by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"My wife and I enjoyed a visit to NE Georgia and decided to stay here. We were quite pleased with the all-around accommodations. We loved the mattress and location. Dahlonega was a cute little historical town with much charm. We stayed because of its location but would return and stay again at the same hotel."
