Pros: Location and facilities were very good. Staff very helpful and welcoming
Cons: We had to change rooms twice, first time because we were in a smoking room, but requested a non-smoking room. The second move was because the carpet in the new room was wet. We didn't know the source of the water and feared the area would spread

Pros: Comfortable bed, clean room, nice pool, location near UF campus.
Cons: No free WiFi, no gratis breakfast, no courtesy tea/coffee or cookies. This property hews to the old un-democratic paradigm of allowing only "members" who have so many stays "earning" free Wi-Fi. Internet connection is NOT an option, today.

Pros: Rooms were recently renovated and are spacious and beautifully decorated.
Cons: An oil stain used on the renovated bathroom vanities stained the bottom of towels in the room. This gave them a brown streaked appearance reminiscent of a used towel! Staff are changing them out as guests report them but that should not be guests' job!

Pros: The Hilton University f Florida was much nicer aesthetically and quieter than we anticipated. Spacious in the lobby and room. Without hesitation, this is where we will stay the next time we are in Gainesville.
Cons: Nothing of any real significance; the in-room coffee could be improved. Seriously, this is a minor thing and would not have been mentioned had the question not been asked.
