Very bad experience at this hotel. It started at check-in, when they gave me a key to a room that was already occupied — I heard children’s voices coming from inside (the same kids who were running through the hallways and playing in the elevator). I returned to the lobby and requested a different room. The second room was even worse. As soon as I walked in, I noticed a terrible smell. I checked the bed, and the sheets were full of pubic hair. I immediately went back to the lobby to cancel my reservation. The only positive aspect of this experience was that the staff canceled my booking without any issues. I also called Expedia, and they agreed to refund me the full amount. Overall, the hotel had no visible security, and there was a strong unpleasant odor as soon as you entered the lobby. I do not recommend staying here.

Although it’s not a luxury hotel, it is clean, and the staff is professional and accommodating. We stayed here from April 29th to May 5th to revisit our daughter's favorite spots in Gainesville before her graduation from UF. At check-in on April 29th, the young man at the front desk was kind and allowed us to inspect three rooms. The first had a window that wouldn't close properly, and the second had noisy air conditioning. The third room faced the front and was quite sunny, making us worried about warmth. I bought painter's tape at Home Depot to seal the first room's window to keep bugs out at night. The rooms are spacious, and I appreciated the separate sink area in the bathroom, allowing for privacy. Without area rugs, the room felt cleaner, and the sheets and towels were fresh. I always bring my own pillow protectors and Clorox wipes for added cleanliness. We also spoke with Jose at the front desk, who was friendly and professional. While hotels in Gainesville can be pricey during UF events, this place offered decent accommodations for our stay.

I often choose Red Roof because of their pet policy. But I was not traveling with my dog this time. However, the rooms are clean and spacious, parking is easy, and their rates cannot be beat.

After reading online reviews I was hesitant about keeping the reservation. The front desk clerk was accommodating when I asked to look at the room prior to check in. She was notably annoyed though. The room appeared clean except for the dirty walls in the bedroom. The hair dryer was cracked but worked and the bathroom did have some notable mold in caulking. I ranked this 3 stars because for the $275+ per night it came up subpar. No insects seen. The tiled floor appeared clean. We downgraded from a 2 night stay to just one night and booked the other nights elsewhere.

Ripped off by Hotels.com

I booked a reservation through Hotels.com. My plans changed. I susequently canceled this reservation through Hotels.com. Done? No. On the day AFTER I was originally check-in, I received an email from Red Roof Inn that I checked in and they charged my credit card. Hotels.com was unable to secure a refund. Never stepped foot on the hotel property.
