Nice location but mediocre comfort and not worth the price I paid.
Pros:

I liked the size of the room and the location was in a cute area.There was a gentleman at the front desk the evening we checked in that was welcoming and friendly.

Cons:

The bed was very hard, it was too warm in the room and the sheets were rough. The breakfast had a good selection but the floors and tables in the breakfast room were really sticky. Not overall the standard that I would expect from a Hampton Hotel.

Perfect Gainesville location
Pros:

The downtown location was excellent. The rooms were generous and all our family was located on the same floor which was convenient.

Cons:

Slow elevators as we had to go to the second floor for breakfast and the stairs was a bit much to travel from the fifth floor
