For the past few years, my wife and I come down to Gainesville about 5 times a year, we started out by staying at different Choice Hotel properties in the area until we stayed at the Quality Inn Alachua... we have found our "go to" place to stay when we come to Gainesville. Shelley the day time Service Desk Attendant and Chris the evening Service Desk Attendant are always focused on the customers needs and go above and beyond to help with the quality of our stay. The hotel staff have always greeted us with friendly smiles and attitudes. The room is very cozy and comfortable, we always get a good nights sleep. The hotel is conveniently located around local attractions, shopping and dining. I do highly recommend the Quality Inn Alachua if you need a place to stay in the Gainesville area.

I have stayed up in this area many times before first time at this hotel. This is a Choice Hotel and the price on their website waa higher than what I paid. But the hotel is excellent and I was actually amazed for the price. The pool was still open it was really nice and they have breakfast and free Wi-Fi and it's right off of I-75. Excellent location.

Came here for a quick stay visiting family. Shelly at front desk made our day! She greeted us with great hospitality and made our stay stress free. If you check in ask for her, she’ll get you taken care of.
