We stopped over in Gainesville to visit friends. We planned this trip a couple of months prior and had a very good rate for one night, May 10. When we arrived at 4:30p after a long day of driving, we were told our rooms were not ready since our assigned room was being renovated and not yet ready. When would... More

The Paramount Plaza is a luxurious hotel with exceptional employees who meet every guests' needs. The beds are phenomenally comfortable and the food is outstanding including but not limited to the breakfast buffet which is a grand bargain. We stayed there the night of the bombing in Boston and alot of the guests meet in the bar. I had desired... More

Great big room for a great price. Location is very close to University of Florida. At check-in, there was a sign at the front desk saying that the hotel was under renovation. I stayed in the 2000 section and don't know if this section was completed or not. Anyway, the room was bigger than I expected. It could have accommodated... More

An older hotel that is trying to do upgrades. We had a three night stay. I was disappointed on the smell of the room, ants on the bathroom sink and lack of cleanliness in the bathroom. The light switch was gross and looked like it had not been ever cleaned (especially with the switch down). There was no shampoo after... More

We stayed at this hotel in 2010 & it was 2.5 stars at that time, and is now upgraded to 3 stars due to renovations. I won this hotel on Priceline for $66 before taxes. I overheard the front desk quote that evenings rate at $69, so not a great savings, but still for this price, a nice place. I... More

The good...very friendly customer service oriented staff, spacious rooms, beautiful grounds, delicious, inexpensive muffins at Starbucks, good overall location in Gainesville. The bad...the pillows felt like small bags of foam pieces, very lumpy. And they add a $2.50 nightly resort/activity charge.
