Travelers Inn Gainesville Motel

What guests think

At Travelers Inn Gainesville, reviews describe an older property that is generally clean and quiet, highlighted by friendly, accommodating staff and a convenient, safe location near UF, the airport, restaurants, and area events.

Rooms are dated but serviceable, with comfortable beds for some, though light from bright parking lot fixtures can bleed in and Wi-Fi and in-room amenities like TV or AC occasionally disappoint. Cleanliness feedback is mixed: many note tidy rooms, while others report musty odors, cigarette smells, roaches, and worn fixtures. Facilities feel limited, with recurring reports of a closed pool and scarce coffee, though rates are often viewed as good value. Overall, expect a no-frills, value stay with warm service and some trade-offs.

Where we stayed we were told we had WiFi and pool. Wifi had poor reception and pool was not open. We stay two nights out of 5 and asked for a credit for the rest. We end up staying somewhere else for the other 3 days.

Found roaches in the room, lightbulbs missing in the fixtures. The pool was never operable, which was one of the things we looked forward to no coffee pot as promised in the room no coffee in the lobby.

I have stayed at Traveler's Inn many times in the past but not in the last 3 years die to COVID stupidity. (it's Gainesville) While it is not the Ritz, It is a great little hotel. Many inexpensive hotels are padding the books with illegal aliens paid for with your tax dollars. Not here. While not sold out, it was legit travelers, not residents. THANK YOU! The owner / manager called me at 10pm to ask about my arrival time. I was only 30 minutes away, which is not my usual MO. I appreciate the concern. We settled in, had a shower, no problems with hot water and pressure. It was VERY bright outside the room for safety concerns. Not to imply it is unsafe but bright light deter less desirables. Fine. Slept OK but I never do prior to a race. Towels could be better but I was still dry. I LIKED the carpeted floor. Clean. Many hotels have gone to fake tile which is gummy after a while. Good TV, fridge, micro.

I enjoyed it here. Close to the airport like I needed. Friendly staff no matter how late you arrive. My first stay it was late due to airport delays. The only thing I was bummed about was the pool was closed. But a great place with awesome people. Would stay there again.

Dated but clean, well maintained property. A bargain in Gainesville. Only negative, the flood lights in the parking lot bleed into the rooms despite blackout curtains. The strong light gives the impression the area is not safe. The area is safe. Tone down those lights.

The regular rate is $76. Because it was parents weekend at the college they charged $335. There was no hair dryer/ not enough soap/things were broken in room. The smell was moldy and musty smelling. They could have added a few extra touches for the over priced room- didnt even try. Next year we will book a better place and not wait til last minute and get this dump

I really like this place. We have stayed there many times over many years. Small, family owned and operated. Not the Taj Mahal, but a very good value. Only complaint is my pillow was hard, but that could be another persons favorite thing.
