Located in the heart of Downtown Gainesville's Historic District, this 3-star Gainesville hotel features 1875 square feet of conference space with 4 meeting rooms. Hampton Inn & Suites Gainesville Downtown offers spacious rooms equipped with premium bedding, laptop-friendly workspaces, 42-inch flat-screen TVs, and complimentary WiFi. Each accommodation includes air conditioning, microwaves, refrigerators, and private bathrooms with complimentary toiletries. The property serves a daily complimentary hot breakfast with healthy options and provides Hampton On the Run breakfast bags. Guests have access to an outdoor pool, fitness center, business center, and express check-in services. The Hampton Inn stands one block from Union Street Station's shopping and dining venues, and adjacent to the Hippodrome State Theatre, which presents regional productions and avant-garde films. The University of Florida and Shands Hospital are within a 5-minute drive, while the Florida Museum of Natural History is a 14-minute drive away.

Pros

Located adjacent to the historic Hippodrome State Theatre

Six restaurants within 0.3 miles, including Dragonfly Sushi and Mark's Prime Steakhouse

Walking distance to Depot Park and Matheson Historical Center

Pet-friendly property allowing up to 2 pets

Cons

6 miles distance from Gainesville Regional Airport

Limited on-site dining options

“This hotel's downtown location places guests near both the University of Florida and the Union Street Station's dining and shopping; coupled with its pet-friendly policy, it can accommodate a range of travelers. A complimentary hot breakfast and modern in-room amenities, like workspaces, try to create additional value, especially for business travelers or families. While some reports mention issues with cleanliness and maintenance, the location remains a key asset.”
