For the high price paid for this place .... service was like expressway motel no a hotel chain... the rooms did not feel clean and bathroom are beat up, old, and not functional for a family traveling... It needs lots of upgrade ...not to be 4-5 star hotel... but to be consider 1-2 star hotel..
Do not stay here! I stayed here 9/13-15 for UF Family weekend. The pool was not working and we were not notified prior to booking or checking in! The whole place is just dingy and smells like mildew. The hallways smell like weed even though its supposed to be "smoke free". The rooms smelled like mildew and had stains on the walls. The bed was SO uncomfortable, the springs were poking us in the back and you could hear them when you rolled over. Pillows were rocks. I was grossed out to shower in that bathroom, it was just filthy, not just outdated, but moldy. The property didn't feel safe. The back door was supposed to be opened by a key card but was always open. Skip this place by all means! Wouldn't even stay here for free! Don't trust the 7 rating it is more like a 4!
This property was very dirty. Our first room had ROACHES CRAWLING on the floor, a horrible mildew smell and there was urine on the bathroom wall clearly from a dog. We had to change rooms and again found roaches crawling all over the furniture of the room. It was down right HORRIFYING. Our last room the shower curtain rod was broken and you could not take a shower without getting water all over the floor. DIRTY, DIRTY, DIRTY Hotel. Please avoid.
Great location, excellent staff. Hotel had a few items that can be improved. Shower head was not in good condition and water sprayed towards the floor and caused extra work drying.
Tried really hard positioning the curtain to help, but water still ended up on the floor. Iron was old and had sticky left over material that caused issues ironing. Bathroom extractor fan extremely noisy. Pool still with no water a month later after previous stay. Great location, great staff but hotel needs work.
There simply isn’t anything Plus about this property. The pool has been out of commission for weeks, the elevator needs to be serviced, there’s housekeeping service only every four days (which should tell you about the overall cleanliness). Guests staying any length of time must exchange their own dirty towels at the front desk. The coffee machine in our room couldn’t be plugged in anywhere. The mattresses, bedding, and pillows are of incredibly poor quality. There’s a mismatch of light bulb hues with lamps that are barely hanging on the wall, and there’s no breakfast service of any kind. It’s more motel than hotel that clearly relies on overpricing during UF Gator events to stay in business…
We wanted a budget hotel. Red Roof Inn Plus was a great budget hotel. Don't expect it to be perfect at a budget price, but it was very adequate for our two-night stay. The staff was great! We'd definitely stay at this budget hotel again if we're in Gainsville!
