The Spotlight on DoubleTree by Hilton Gainesville

Comfort Meets Convenience Near Gainesville's Music Scene


Modern and welcoming, DoubleTree by Hilton Gainesville blends stylish comfort with a laid-back Florida vibe. Located just 2.1 miles from the University of Florida and under 4 miles from Ben Hill Griffin Stadium, this hotel is a smart choice for concert-goers looking to stay close to the action without sacrificing comfort. Expect spacious, contemporary rooms, a relaxing courtyard, and a warm chocolate chip cookie at check-in to kick off your stay right.

Why Concert-goers love it

With top venues like the Ben Hill Griffin Stadium just a short drive away, this hotel offers easy access to major shows without the hassle of downtown traffic. Rooms are well-insulated, so you can enjoy a quiet night’s rest after the encore. Free WiFi, late check-in options (from 4:00 PM), and a casual lobby bar make it easy to unwind post-show. Ample parking and proximity to rideshare pickup zones add to the convenience.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends who want a fun, social base close to the venue
  • Solo travelers chasing their dream concert
  • Couples looking for a weekend escape with live music
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from the city center
  • Budget-conscious music fans who still want Hilton-level quality

Food and Drink Options

  • Lobby bar with indoor and outdoor seating—perfect for a nightcap
  • Keurig coffee makers in every room for your morning-after boost
  • Plenty of walkable dining options nearby along SW 40th Blvd
  • Breakfast available onsite, ideal for those slow mornings after a late night

Nightlife Options

  • On-site bar in the vibrant atrium lobby
  • Short drive to local bars, pubs, and live music venues near campus
  • Peaceful setting if you're looking to wind down instead of ramp up

What People Say

Guests love the friendly staff, clean and spacious rooms, and the easy check-in process. The complimentary cookie is a standout perk, and reviewers often mention the comfortable beds and large TVs as highlights after a long night out. Many also praise the location for being close yet quiet.

Areas for Improvement

  • The hotel is a bit farther from downtown nightlife, so rideshares may be needed
  • No on-site full-service restaurant, but plenty of dining nearby
  • Pool area can get busy during peak weekends

The Bottom Line

If you're catching a show in Gainesville and want a stylish, comfortable stay close to the action—but far enough to recharge in peace—DoubleTree by Hilton Gainesville hits the right note.

Poor

Liked: The staff was good
Disliked: I had spiders in my room. Termites in my beds, a roach and I was placed near the pool when I requested to not be near any common area. It was being renovated so everyone was on the first floor and people were in the pool until 2am all weekend. They shot fireworks in the parking lot all night and when I asked to be moved all I received was comp breakfast...I have never had an experience like this dealing with Hilton company

Adjust your expectations before your...

Liked: It was a good location close to restaurants and shops. The staff I saw around was very friendly and helpful.
Disliked: TV in our first room didn't work and we were moved. Both rooms carpets were stained and gross. The ceiling showed stains and it NEVER EVER felt like a hotel that should be charging as much as we paid. The staff answering the phones are useless and give false information.
