ElsaSimple but close to the university
TimBasically no breakfast. Bananas and horrible muffins
HeidiThere were German roaches. The bathroom was not clean.
CarolynDirty, run down, uncomfortable, water pressure issues, leaking faucets, pool closed, bugs in bathroom
KATIEMini fridge in room didn’t work. Property outside seemed unsafe and several parts of building were leaking. Our door entry card kept not working so had to repeatedly walk to front desk in the dark to have them reset room…
StephenWent for parents weekend and the Gator/USF game. Was woken up by a roach crawling on my arm and have all sorts of bites on my abdomen. Light over shower did not work. Convenient location but would not recommend.

- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

- What the property actually charges at the desk on top of the rate.
Questions about University Inn Gainesville
What time is check-in and check-out at University Inn Gainesville?
Check-in is from 3:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does University Inn Gainesville allow pets?
Yes — the property states that pets are allowed. Size, number and fee are set by the property rather than by us, so say you're bringing a pet when you book and we'll confirm the terms before anything is charged.
Is there parking at University Inn Gainesville?
Parking is listed among the property's facilities. Whether it's free and whether a space can be reserved varies, so we check it against your dates rather than promise it here.
Does University Inn Gainesville have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at University Inn Gainesville?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does University Inn Gainesville have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Does University Inn Gainesville have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at University Inn Gainesville?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 3:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book University Inn Gainesville?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
