The Hotel Eleo is a good find and great location for a stay in Gainesville. The valet staff was excellent and super quick. The hotel lobby area is nice and clean. My only complaint is the mattress was uncomfortable and the towels are well worn and should be replaced.
Beautiful hotel. Great location.The staff were all very kind and helpful. This hotel is a great value and I definitely want to stay here again. Valet parking was required but it was fast and easy.
Everything was wonderful and the staff was very sweet. Room was spacious and clean. Loved the hot shower. Food in the restaurant tasted great!!

If you’re looking to stay near campus for a game and you appreciate an art deco/modern feel, this is it. The bar is swanky as well and the staff was A-1.
