My husband has to be in Gainesville on business a couple of times a year, and I went to school at UF. Cabot Lodge has always been the only place we would stay in Gainesville - loved the fireplace, friendly staff, breakfast and happy hour, in spite of the somewhat dated rooms. We just stayed there for two nights and... more

My family booked 4 rooms for my daughters graduation from UF. Everything was perfect ffrom the minute we arrived. The staff is very friendly, the rooms are larger then most, the happy hour was great and free! Breakfast was really nice sitting by the fire in the beautiful lobby. It is also close to everything you need! I would stay... more

We had been booked at a different hotel in town for a job interview that had ants in the only two rooms they had left. The next day we were rebooked into Cabot. It was comfy and the reception had surprisingly good meatball subs. They seemed home cooked as they were being served in crockpots. The room was clean and... more

We stayed here because my daughter had to attend Preview at UF. It was recommended to us by several friends so we had high hopes. When we arrived it was late so I went to check in and I woke up the clerk who was not pleasant. I think he gave us a bad room because of it. The room... more

My father had major surgery at the University of Florida hospital and this hotel offered a hospital discount so we stayed here. We ended up staying in two separate rooms. The first 2 nights we were in room 310. On the second day we found ants crawliing all over the wall and desk area so they moved us to room... more

Great place--bathroom floor had not really been cleaned and had lots of hair on the tile floor but I just made sure I wore my shoes in there--I got in too late to ask to have it cleaned but had I gotten in earlier I would... more

Got a GREAT deal on this hidden gem and found it to be a wonderful stay. Rooms were clean, staff was friendly and if you look hard enough online you can find deals for ~$80/nt. UNBEATABLE! Very welcoming entrance - parking lot with big trees - not stale & uniform like the surrounding accomodations. I asked for a quiet room,... more

During a trip to Gainesville for medical appointments I found a brochure for this hotel in the hospital lobby advertising special medical rates. We weren't happy with the hotel we were using, so on our return trip we stayed at Cabot Lodge based on the great reviews. I requested the hospital rate and got a great deal. We had a... more

My husband is a Shands Hospital patient and and has to have an occasional battery of tests. We usually spend the night in Gainesville in order to not have to rush in the morning of the tests. Cabot Lodge is beautiful, and relaxing and the staff is the friendliest. If I was in the hotel business I would want it... more
