This property is positioned in downtown Gainesville in an incredibly walkable area with shops, restaurants, art offering (theatre) and it seems like no other hotel was which makes this a total find. It was comfortable and people were nice but you literally can't beat the location. Will definitely return.

I'm a fan of Hyatt Place. I''ve stayed at them in many parts of the US and have always been pleased with my stays. This is a good hotel with a big but..... BEWARE!!!!!! There is no guest parking at this hotel. There is also NO VALET service at this hotel. The closest parking is a public parking garage 2 blocks away.
