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.

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.
