What guests think

GatorTown Inn delivers a budget, no‑frills stay; many guests praise clean, quiet rooms and friendly staff, and the location is convenient for UF visits, while others note an older feel and inconsistent smoke or musty odors.

Most describe rooms as clean and some updated, but a minority report dirty areas, pests, or mold. Service is generally friendly, though some encountered key malfunctions or limited front‑desk availability at checkout, and breakfast is not provided. Overall, expect an older property with occasional maintenance or odor trade‑offs.

The room was clean and cold when we got there. Everything was availabile and was enough to last for our 2 day stay. There was a picnic table area and the pool was crystal clear but i wasn't there to swim. The staff was friendly and available.

Stayed one night for the Gatornationals. You could tell it had a little age on the place but seemed to be updated and well kept. Had a Security guard at night watching vehicles. Id stay there again.

The property is clean inside and around the hotel, the staff is friendly and helpful. If you’re headed to UF, it’s 5 minutes away, really convenient. If you’re looking for a good dinner spot - Seoul Pocha is great right next door. So, overall a great experience.

We required a prompt accommodation option, and the property was available. While the rooms showed signs of needing some updates, the overall cleanliness was satisfactory. The bed was somewhat firm, and the pillows were rather unyielding and could benefit from replacement. The staff, however, was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. It is worth noting that breakfast was not included in our stay, and the room rate was slightly higher than our preference. Nevertheless, overall, it was a pleasant experience.

Clean, and quiet. Great affordable spot to sleep for attending a competition at the Alchua Sports Complex (10 min drive away). Handful of fast food restaurants and IHOP nearby. This is not a “high-dollar hotel” but is a good, no frills, place to lay your head. The staff was professional/friendly, room was clean and not in disrepair though it is an older facility. I the hotel was pretty full but they honored our request for

The refrigerator was awesome, for an in-room frig. There actually was a separate freezer compartment and freezer door above the frig, and the freezer actually kept our freezer blocks frozen. The water pressure was good. Otherwise, the facility was adequate, not luxurious. Attention should be given to the slick and slippery floor of the bath tub (for the sake of safety), and the black mold on the ceiling above the shower head, which suggests a plumbing leak from the second floor.

Property is updated but still a bit worn. Easy fixes - the ratty chair at the table - should be addressed. Safe, clean, inexpensive spot.

The room had a funny smell when we first arrived, but we just dropped our bags, when returning that night about 11 PM and finding dead cockroaches in the room I realize the smell was from bug spray. My son refused to stay there. He ended up going back to my daughter’s apartment and sleeping on the floor because of being creeped out by roaches in the room. Upon telling the hotel they told me sorry hopefully it would be better next time. Next time? You kidding

I booked this very budget hotel as a stopover on a longer road trip knowing I didnt want to spend a lot of money. The main issue I had with the property was that the room was not kept air conditioned until I checked in, so that upon entering it was very hot and musty smelling. I asked to change rooms, but got the idea that this was just standard practice. Luckily, by the time I got back from grabbing something to eat, the room was cooled down and the desk clerk had sprayed some kind of freshener. Other than this, the room was clean, the linens a bit sparse, but serviceable.
