The Spotlight on Extended Stay America Select Suites - Gainesville - I-75

Comfort, Convenience & Kitchenettes Near Gainesville's Concert Action

Modern and no-fuss, Extended Stay America Select Suites - Gainesville - I-75 offers a clean, practical stay with a quiet vibe. Located just off I-75, it's a short drive from Gainesville's top concert venues and attractions like the University of Florida and Gainesville Raceway. With fully equipped kitchens in every room, it’s perfect for travelers who like a bit more independence.

This hotel is tailored for longer stays but works just as well for a quick concert getaway—especially if you're looking for great value and a calmer atmosphere after a loud night out.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its easy highway access means you’re never far from the show, and the quiet surroundings make it ideal for resting up after a high-energy night. The included grab-and-go breakfast is a plus when you're heading out early or recovering from a late one. Although it's a bit removed from the nightlife center, the free parking and convenient location keep things simple for travelers with a car. The flexible space and in-room kitchen also mean you can come and go on your own schedule.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a budget-friendly base with space for snacks and pre-show prep
  • Solo travelers seeing a bucket-list artist and wanting a peaceful place to recharge
  • Couples making a weekend of it with Gainesville's music and local attractions
  • Fans wanting a quieter post-concert recovery space away from the party noise
  • Budget-conscious music fans needing an affordable stay with practical perks

Food and Drink Options

The hotel offers a simple but helpful grab-and-go breakfast daily—think muffins, breakfast bars, and hot cereal, ideal after a late night. While there’s no on-site restaurant or bar, each room’s full kitchen lets you whip up meals at any hour. Plus, you’re close to plenty of fast-casual and sit-down dining options nearby, especially along Archer Road.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about winding down than turning up, Gainesville’s nightlife is just a short drive away. From local bars to student-friendly lounges, you'll find something that fits your vibe after the encore. For a chill night in, the quiet surroundings and in-room comforts make relaxing easy.

What People Say

Guests love the clean, spacious rooms and the ability to cook their own meals. Many appreciate the quiet atmosphere and friendly front desk staff. The free parking and proximity to the University of Florida are also frequently mentioned as highlights. It’s often described as great value for money, especially for longer stays or low-key weekends.

Areas for Improvement

Some travelers note that the decor and amenities are basic and a bit dated, and others mention that daily housekeeping comes at an additional cost. There’s no on-site restaurant or bar, so you’ll need to venture out or cook in—but that’s part of the charm for some.

The Bottom Line

If you’re headed to Gainesville for a show and want a quiet, affordable place to crash—with the bonus of your own kitchen—Extended Stay America Select Suites - Gainesville - I-75 is a solid pick.

Good home away from home

Liked: The location is right by the interstate but surprisingly quiet. You can't really hear the interstate or the hustle and bustle from town either. The rooms are nice and have a small kitchenette with a small stove and a fridge. Me and the Mrs ran away for a weekend for a break and it was a great place to get away from work and recharge. Will definitely return when another break is needed
Disliked: That we had to leave

Bad

Liked: NOTHING
Disliked: DIRTIEST HOTEL I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED! LITERALLY!!!! I HAD TO GO BUY BLEACH AND SCRUB BRUSHES IN ORDER TO SHOWER OR EVEN USE THE RESTROOM. THEY ALSO DO NOT PROVIDE ANY TYPE OF HAND SOAP OR BODY WASH. THE ONLY "AMENITY" AT THIS DUMP IS A ROLL OF TOILET PAPER!! AND THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO NOT EXPECT YOU TO SMOKE

A nightmare!!

Liked: The front desk staff was very helpful and professional
Disliked: The property is old, the room was dirty you can see the dust on the screen tv, the bathroom was dirty looks like a crime scene on the movies. I paid too much for the value. One day the toilet comes the water out and all the water flood the little kitchen, I went at the front desk and they kindly give me other room but when I go to take a shower the water didn’t drain on the shower, then at night the people on the next room screams and made noise all the night. That was a really nightmare!!!

Bad

Liked: Honestly only the staff. The room was absolutely awful.
Disliked: The tub was not cleaned properly, I could see a residue from the previous person taking a bath in the tub. My toilet seat had burn marks and the toilet inside was gross. There was a big Lougee on my window I can go on n on.

Poor

Disliked: There were a lot of men hanging around the hotel, smoking weed and it made my wife and daughter very uncomfortable. The bathroom and fridge were disgusting, the room was very old and there were dead roaches all over the floor.
