Staybridge Suites - Gainesville I-75, an IHG Hotel

My family and I stayed there due to the hurricane that was coming. I think we probably looked and went back and forth from hotel to air b&b for almost 2 days. Finally we decided to go with a hotel and low and behold I had Genius level 2 and it showed me Staybridge, I liked the way the hotel looked and it was the only one that had the King Suite available and I needed 3 of them. I booked on line and then called to see if I could have the rooms close together, They had already did that for me!! I was blown away, never has a hotel done that on their own!! This one did! Not only was the hotel Beautiful, rooms and bed comfy and the breakfast amazing, but the entire staff was awesome! So nice, helpful, caring, and you could just tell they liked what they do! I def will be going back. Even though I live around the corner from the hotel, That's how much I love it and it will be my little mini home away from home when I just need a min to myself to breathe! : ) OH and another thing, the pool was open til 10 pm, I even saw people in there after that time too!

There was nothing I didn't like. Except I had to leave and go back home.

Several things I liked about my stay is the breakfast (especially important when having multiple family members), pool/spa/outside area, late check out, if there was an issue, it was addressed promptly and with ease, friendly/knowledgeable staff, available parking, clean/neat room (including having Dove soap, hand wash, lotion, shampoo & conditioner), LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION.

Not a big deal, but one thing I didn't like is that the gate that leads to the basketball court was locked. My kids wanted to play basketball, but they would've had to go in the inside and out another door. Since they're young, I would've needed to go with them, but I was relaxing near the pool & don't know if there was somewhere for me to sit by the court. If I would've stayed in the pool area & in the event something happened, it would've took extra time to scan my card to go inside and out the other door.

this property is awesome. Everything was perfect. The room was perfect the cleanest of the room the breakfast was awesome. The staff was awesome and very helpful. Everybody very friendly. We actually stayed an extra night simply for the fact that the hotel was five*10*in my opinion, the pool and a hot tub was phenomenal Lee awesome could be a little bit bigger because it was so many people wanting to get in and maybe the hours a little bit longer to maybe 12 but all in all I think this is one of the best hotels I’ve stayed in in Florida very very very much room for family definitely recommend.

There’s nothing I can say that I did not like this property is awesome. Everything was awesome. The staff is beyond helpful and caring.

Very clean, "new-ish" hotel, comfortable room, and great amenities. We stayed for 1 night, as we were on a road trip. The location is great, you can easily go by walk or by car to plazas nearby where you can find stores, restaurants, etc. There was a water heater issue but the property called us in advance to let us know. They offered a cancellation at no fee but we did not mind and decided to keep the room at the hotel, and we even get a room upgrade. Staff was great. Breakfast was very good, with diverse options.

N/A

The staff were absolutely incredible. We got in late and left early and the front desk staff were so friendly and that’s oddly incredible to find in todays environment. We live in culture a where it seems the employee feels as if the customer should be grateful the employee is in place. The staff at this hotel is the benchmark of how customers should be treated. I’ve not been paid to endorse or anything, just a man traveling from states away.

The staff, well lit parking, clean, and accommodating staff.

Staff very accommodating and polite. Hallways were spotless, any room trash left outside door was immediately picked up. Perfect location for our needs. Common areas well appointed and comfortable. Pool clean and warm. Breakfast staff helpful and cheerie. Plenty of parking close to main entrance.

Hotel should have a wheelchair available for guests returning from Shands Hospital after surgery. Bathroom a bit too small.

Breakfast was great with lots of variety! Waffles were delicious! I also enjoyed the social hour. What a nice treat! Please extend the social hour for all week long!

Sofa bed could have been more comfortable. Also beds are very high! For someone with leg issues, it can be very hard to climb into bed. No bed stairs was available at front desk. Also, tubs are hard for senior citizens to get into. Shower stalls would be much better.

The breakfast was great. The people working at the breakfast area were terrific. The room was big & very clean. Comfortable bed. All housekeeping people & people at front desk very friendly. The pool was terrific And pool area also terrific. Definitely coming back to this hotel on next vacation.

Maybe a better place to drop your trash. Not so Bad though….they picked it up pretty quickly through out The day.

Staff had great customer service and the room was Very Nice and Clean and the Hotel was Excellent and the outside sitting area was Extremely Clean and Beautiful and great location and the staff was the best they met our needs and I will be staying here again and I would recommend this hotel and I rate it a 10.

Everything met my expectations

The location of the hotel puts you in walking distance of 4 sit down restaurants, a shopping center and many other services you may need. Walking into the hotel to check in, the lobby was pretty standard to most hotels. Thats where the comparisons end however, as once you get past check in, its nicer than any other hotel ive been to. They have an entire open area with room for multiple parties of people to hang out in or eat the free breakfast with a nice pool view. Just outside where the pool is youll find even more places to relax poolside, or hop into the hot tub. We unfortunately didnt get the chance to use them this trip, but when we come back we will be. There are also full sized grills under a wooden cover that youd find in a luxury home at no extra cost. Now for the room. We stayed in the studio suite. Very comfortable bed, a nice TV we were able to plug our fire stick into. The internet was actually pretty good for a hotel, and no up charge for the good speed. This safe, unlike the hotel we stayed at the night before, was actually attached to the floor and secure. The housekeepers we ran into were very nice and knowledgeable of the area. This place was a fantastic experience and we will be back.

It can be a bit confusing entering the hotel at first. When we first arrived the address of the hotel brought us the the hilton which is across the street. This of course isnt staybridges fault. Once we found the correct building we entered the wrong door into the hotel they share the building with, but the check in staff there was able to help us find our way. This could also have been on us, as we had driven 13 hours and werent very alert.
