“quiet, clean, economical, privacy respected”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 November 2011

I had a sick pet at UF Animal Hospital who ended up needing to stay 10 days. I was very grateful for this quiet, clean, economical (they offer hospital discounts) place to stay. The staff was polite but not intrusive. The room was spotless every day and with fresh towels, glasses, etc. The room smelled clean, no evidence of cigarette smells or obnoxious chemicals. The AC quiet and effective. Basics provided, not fancy stuff. A few of the nights I was able to hear noise from the next room, the rest of the time I did not. I had a first floor, poolside room with balcony, one king bed...the room and bathroom were more spacious and there was less noise than at many luxury hotels where I have stayed. I was able to park my car directly in front of my room or just across the small parking lot in the shade. I am a single woman and felt very safe. It was wonderful to be 3 minutes from the hospital...I could have even walked there if needed. I really appreciated the shady trees, nonintrusive atmosphere, and the fact that I didn't have to spend a fortune for a place to sleep for 10 nights in addition to medical bills. I will definitely stay here on future visits.

“The nastiest place I've ever stayed!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 October 2011 via mobile

Do yourself a favor and don't stay here! The staff is rude and the rooms are sure to put u in the hospital. The location was good, but still not worth it. My aunt's room smelled horrid and the bed was not made. Our beds in our room were stinky and full of someone's hair!! The carpet was stained and I wore shoes in the shower. When we asked for new sheets they said we couldn't have any until shift change at midnight and when we were moved to another room under the sheets was a wad of toilet paper. Oh and the door was half chewed by a dog!

“Its quite, nice, can stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 September 2011

I am AVM. Subbarao, from India. I stayed in this motel for three months on an official trip. Its very nice and the staff are very helpful. The rooms were clean. laundry facility is also there. Room rent is also reasonable. The advantage point is its location. Behind University of Florida and Shands cancer research Hospital. There is a small kitchenette serves the purpose for cooking your own food and enjoy. Very near to subway, Thai and other food joints.

“Testing for my granddaughter”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 August 2011

We we down in Gainesville, Fla in June of this year so my granddaughter could have testing for her upcoming open heart surgery. We were here for 2 days and never had one bit of trouble. The room was clean and the staff was helpful and courtesy to us. We will be returning in Aug and Sept for 14 days and are planning on staying here at Rush Lake at that time.

Room Tip: Is the room near the pool and how far from Shands Hospital

“Run as fast as you can....DO NOT stay here!!!!!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 May 2011

person found this review helpful

My father was having surgery at Shands and we stayed here because it was advertised as being within walking distance to the hospital. It was indeed very close to the hospital but a stay here could put you there. It was the worse room we have ever stayed in. We had reservations for two nights but only stayed one night. One night was more than we could stomach. I'm SO glad I had a can of disinfectant with me. The carpets were so stained we put newspaper down to walk on. The beds were so bad that you sunk into the middle. And I mean sunk. It was hard to get out of the bed once you sunk. These beds had to be the original. I wouldn't let a dog stay here.
