Depot Village

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. The studio was DISGUSTING when I checked in (bathroom wasn’t clean or stocked, and almost all pots, pans, glasses, and utensils were sticky and greasy). When I initially approached the manager with the issue, she mentioned that they had a negligent maid that was recently fired and she didn’t have time to go back through after her and clean the room. She genuinely seemed like she wanted to help me and we discussed the issues with the room at length and came to a mutual agreement (partial refund). I paid in full prior to driving to florida and checking into my room. This happened at the beginning of my stay. They promised that the refund would be seen in my account within 3-5 business days. I had to stay there for 2 weeks because I already paid, and the partial refund was never sent to my account. After 4 WEEKS of trying to sort things out with no resolve, I am now going to my bank to submit a claim because continuous excuses were made. On top of that, there was a group of homeless people in the alleyway consistently to the left of the place, and one night during my stay a woman was screaming for someone to help her late at night (she was shoeless and walking up and down the street adjacent to Depot village). Every time I left the premises I was on my phone with someone because I did not feel safe staying there. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!

The room was great and the shower was very big. The refrigerator and stove were all clean and very nice. The beds are very comfortable. Just as a reminder the room I stayed in was on the top floor and you have to climb stairs. It was fine for me because I am used to climbing stairs.

A super find just off Main Strret. Clean comfy beds, nice bathroom. Service was great … we needed a hairdryer and within a couple of moments one was delivered to our room. Quirky decor but quite cute. Easy walking distance to our favourite restaurant Dragonfly. We will be back.

Christina and Matt are excellent hosts for this boutique hotel. They provided wonderful service and help during my stay. Christina made me feel comfortable making the room sparkling clean and giving me directions to local spots. Matt carried my suitcase down the block and upstairs to my room. He also gave me directions to local spots. The hotel is located downtown Gainesville not far from St. Francis House, a homeless shelter. This was a concern for me a single woman. So I was careful after dark. It is also close to many restaurants and bars. And within walking distance of the courthouse. My room was the Downtown Studio. It is beautifully appointed with pictures modern kitchen, walk-in shower and modern bath amenities. The queen bed is very soft but firm enough to support you. The air conditioner drowned out the street noise which was very convenient.

I am currently a Gainesville local and stayed here 2 separate times; once in June and once in July. Both stays were 4 nights. These stays were while I waited for a new apartment to be finished. And I stayed in the Vintage Room. I adore this property. It is affordable, especially for its location. It is walking distance to anything you could want to do in downtown Gainesville. It's close to Depot Park, and that made it perfect to walk my pup. But it's tucked away enough that you don't endure any of the noise from downtown. The staff is incredibly hospitable. Anytime a guest walks by, anyone working around the property will ask how their stay is going or if they need anything. Anytime I requested help or items, I was provided them immediately and with a friendly demeanor. It feels like everyone is very happy to work there and happy to help guests. One of my favorite aspects is how safe the property feels. There is privacy fencing that makes it feel tucked away. There are security cameras that make an announcement when anyone walks into their line of sight. And staff are always on site. As a young, solo, female traveler, it helps create peace of mind. All of the guests have been friendly as well in the common spaces. The common areas are beautiful and well maintained. I enjoyed sitting outside in the courtyards a lot. It's very peaceful and relaxing. I will stay here again and recommend it to my friends and family. Overall, it was comfortable with great professional staff and awesome cold air conditioning in these hot summer months!

Come for the perfect location stay for the second to none hospitality, This place has the allure of a boutique hotel without the stuffiness. The on site coffee shop is the best coffee I;be had in Gainesville and it's not even close! Make sure you try your coffee with the local honey!
