The whole property was ugly and rundown. The buidling was old and tired, the landscaping scraggly. The room was awful. It stank of mold combined with some kind of carpet powder. We made it a little better by running the AC at an uncomfortably cold level, but then it was unpleasantly chilly. The linens were so skimpy and cheap that... More

I normally wouldn't stay in a hotel with cheaper prices simply because they lack class and attract the undesirable. The structure is old and needs renovating. The bathtub finish was peeling. The bathtub rubber mat was permanently filthy and would not come clean. So I actually brought lysol and bleach to spray the room down because I literally felt sick.... More

Stayed at this place for a couple of days while working in Gainesville. Because I travel all the time my suitcase contained over $50 in loose change for laundry and the snack machine. I have stayed in hundreds of hotels across the southeast and this is the only time I have been robbed. My co-worker also had his cologne stolen.... More

The first thing my family wanted to see was the pool. It was clear that routine maintenance was not being performed. There was a thick layer of flocculated sediment on the bottom and debris all over. The assigned room 107 disgustingly reeked of urine and the bathtub looked old and dirty. The front desk attendant was kind enough to offer... More

Thanks to this Econolodge our travel day ended much better than we thought. We had reservations at the Newberry Inn to stay the night on our trip to Disney World. We needed three rooms and the Econolodge gave us a great rate, the rooms were very clean, and a very well presented continental breakfast the next morning before we got... More

The rooms were very clean, the front desk agent was great, and they had everything they promised. Completely opposite of the Clarion. I will definitely be returning, this time I'll book with this hotel. More

We traveled to Gainesville to attend our nephew's graduation. We had planned a family reunion of sorts and had reserved our rooms about 10 months prior. We got a great deal and were so excited. We told all of our family to book at the Clarion so we could all be together. Well, the Clarion "lost" 4 of the 10... More

When reservation was made, we understood the total rate was $170.00 for 2-nights. What a shock after we checked out and noticed it was $170.00 for each night !!!! And we had booked 2 rooms for family., running our total up to $680.00 instead of the $340.00 we had anticipated. I realize now that it was "price gouging" because it... More

We needed a room for only one night and didn't want to commit to the 2 night minimum stay most hotels in Gainesville have on football weekends. We should have realized when the Econo Lodge West had plenty of rooms available the day of Gator Growl that there may be some issues. Anyway we booked the room and headed to... More
