DoubleTree by Hilton Gainesville
Check in was easy and we were greeted by Sierra who gave us Hotel info including breakfast and coffee. Lobby was decorated for Christmas and it was lovely.

Hilton University of Florida Conference Center Gainesville
The facilities and rooms were nicely “updated” and felt clean, but the toilet ceramic was broken and clued back together. Staff was ultra friendly and the common areas were nice. Location was a plus too. We just stayed one night.
