Reviews and Ratings
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, though spacious and comfortable after the first night, were stuck in an awkward corner that made moving luggage challenging. The service, on the other hand, was exceptional and unmatched in friendliness and accommodation despite being there for four days. The location, although convenient to shopping and dining options and having a park-like setting on the University of Florida campus, had some disappointing elements like a poor common area. The dining experience, mainly at Shula's Steak House, was delightful with a variety of options and delicious homemade cakes. The facilities were decent, but the hotel seemed a bit overgrown for a Hilton.
My stay at the Hilton University of Florida Conference Center Gainesville was an incredible experience overall. The rooms were the best I ever experienced in my life, but the dampness was a bit of an issue. The service was top-notch, with staff members like Angel and Diamond going above and beyond to ensure my comfort. The location was excellent, offering easy access to shopping and dining options, although cleanliness around the pool was lacking. The dining experience was amazing, with a wide array of options, but the cost was a bit high considering the lack of complimentary breakfast. The facilities were great overall.
My stay at the hotel was quite comfortable and pleasant. The rooms were clean and very comfortable, meeting our needs perfectly despite some poor management practices. The location near the pool area was convenient, and overall, the hotel served our purposes well.
