We had to wait at the front desk for 15 minutes before we could find anyone to check us into our room. The main area is nice and seems to be newly renovated. The guest rooms need to be updated. There were holes in the ceiling, pieces of wall missing in the bathroom, and the bathroom mirror was damaged.

Love the interior and outdoor activites though
Received texts welcoming you, and even during your stay asking if everything is according to expectation. I said yes, but since they asked, told them the first light in the room blew out right when we first arrived so they said they will send someone to replace bulb. Bulb was never replaced during our 3 day stay. Why even ask?

What i didnt like was the price & cleanliness. On game weekends prices are at a premium for a mediocre room. Also, when we checked in, our 1st room was dirty. Food left in frig, dirty clothes on bathroom floor. Upon bringing it to the front desk attention, they did give us a new room. The new room appeared cleaner, but still smelled musty, like the 1st room $1,200 for 2 nights at this hotel is a rip off.

All of the staff was very friendly and of course the cookies are great! They were able to get me checked into my room early which was helpful. Only complaint is the amount of noise and how thin the walls are. Every night I woke up 2-3 times because of people in the hallway and there were dogs barking. Most of the time it was hotel staff I believe as I overheard a gentleman around 1am on my last night talking about finding rooms for someone on the other line. He was walking up and down the hall multiple times talking very loudly into his phone. I’ve stayed in multiple doubters, at least 8 times, and thought it would be a lot nicer.

Deep concerns regarding the unsanitary conditions we encountered during our stay at the DoubleTree Gainesville on 40th. We recently evacuated due to Hurricane Milton and were fortunate to secure a room at this hotel. However, when we were tucking our children into bed, we discovered blood and/or feces on the bedding. This is not only unacceptable but also potentially hazardous to the health of my family, including my young children. We immediately removed the bedding, and I went to the front desk. I was informed that the hotel was fully booked, so we could not change rooms. While I was given a replacement comforter, we had to request new sheets separately. Although we tried to make the best of the situation, the fact remains that this level of cleanliness is inexcusable, especially for a family with children seeking refuge from a natural disaster.

The hotel staff told me I could extend my hotel stay during the hurricane weekend another day and we could stay in the same rooms. I had booked through a third party, but the person I talk to did not tell me I had to make a new reservations. So the next day I was called about 2pm and was told we had to leave and check out time was at 11. I talked to their GM manager Dan and he said they were booked and there was nothing he could do. He also said that the staff he had worked the night shift would know that I had to make the new reservations. I asked if he could take some off of my days I had already stayed and he said no. They incovenient me and my family so I had to ride around to try to find me and my kids and my parents somewhere to stay because the electricity was off at home in Taylor and we was hit directly by the storm. He did not seem to have no sympathy that one of his workers told me I could extend my stay and stay in the same rooms. I would not recommend this hotel.

The property is dated and dirty. In town for a game weekend so knew we were not paying the typical rates but the property amount of rust, stains and overall grime was akin to a road side Motel 6. The lobby presents well but the investment and care in the property stops there. Overdue soft goods renovation.
