Nice place for a quick stay

The room was clean and cold when we got there. Everything was availabile and was enough to last for our 2 day stay. There was a picnic table area and the pool was crystal clear but i wasn't there to swim. The staff was friendly and available.

When staying in Gainesville for the old Florida vibe, it was refreshing to stay at the Gator Town Inn. It is an older Inn but it was very clean, safe and comfortable for a quick stay.

The property is clean inside and around the hotel, the staff is friendly and helpful. If you’re headed to UF, it’s 5 minutes away, really convenient. If you’re looking for a good dinner spot - Seoul Pocha is great right next door. So, overall a great experience.

The refrigerator was awesome, for an in-room frig. There actually was a separate freezer compartment and freezer door above the frig, and the freezer actually kept our freezer blocks frozen. The water pressure was good. Otherwise, the facility was adequate, not luxurious. Attention should be given to the slick and slippery floor of the bath tub (for the sake of safety), and the black mold on the ceiling above the shower head, which suggests a plumbing leak from the second floor.

It was very nice and clean, especially for one night stay. The front desk JQ had superb customer service. Beware the bed might sway and creak but if you can get passed that you will enjoy the stay.
