Days Inn by Wyndham Gainesville University

Far below Wyndham and Days Inn standards, this place is a dump. Cockroaches in the bathroom, a toilet not secured to the floor, 4 measly broken hangers in a makeshift closet, no in-room safe, a door that you could see light around the frame! There was no clock radio, no tissues or lotion, cheap towels and crappy little soaps and shampoo packets. The advertised breakfast was terrible coffee and old bananas. The parking lot is filled with broken down cars, boats and a tow truck. On the plus side, the beds were comfortable but the floors were dirty and I did not feel safe.

Our room smelled very musty and like painted-over mildew and cigarette smoke. It was obvious pets had been in there, my allergies went crazy.

The photos are misleading. The property has not been updated since it likely built. Roach infested. Rooms smell of cigarette smoke. I wish I could upload photos. Expedia should remove from their property listing.

At greatly increased rates because my stay happened during a weekend when there was an event in town, I would have at least hoped for a room that had a working TV and a smoke detector that wasn’t hanging by a wire from the ceiling. Or a room that didn’t have the faint but nauseating odor of cigarette smoke and beer. Or a room with hot — not just warm — water. Or someone at the front desk to answer the phone when I (reluctantly) had to ask for a late checkout. Alas, all that was too much to ask.

When we first pulled up at this Days Inn, I thought it was closed or abandoned because the front last section of building facing main road, rooms on main floor and top floor windows were broken, taped, had torn damaged sheeting dangling in several windows. Our room on bottom floor was okay, had fridge that worked and a microwave. Parking was ample, location seemed a bit sketchy. Air conditioning worked but barely. Would not stay here again.

You get what you pay for. But for five times the regular rate for A UF game weekend is complete highway robbery. A place that appears to attract the unhoused and persons with addiction, with urine smells in and around is not the most conducive for a comfortable or safe stay.

Old old hotel, beds in rooms have noisy plastic mattress protectors on them. Toilet ancient and very low profile. Tub is very small and old. Funny that lamps have plastic protectors on their shades as though they were valuable. Appreciate being able to have a place to lie my head, maybe time to invest in some upgrades.

Customer service is great

Not clean, bugs everywhere in the room. Would never stay here again especially for the $600+ I was charged for 2 days. The employees were nice though.

Very old - needs updating. The best thing about this hotel is the proximity to the university.
