We chose this hotel based on previous excellent reviews, the in room amenities, and the pet friendly status. We took a family pet to the UF CVM. We were worried about cleanliness as the last time we booked a pet friendly room (during a hurricane evacuation) the room smelled like a dozen tomcats resided there. The room at Drury Inn was super clean. Like, amazingly clean for a pet friendly room. The entire staff was friendly and attentive. The buffet offerings were fresh and tasty. We were so pleased and will stay here again if we return to Gainesville.

Every Drury I've ever been to has been amazing! We got checked in just in time to get dinner and drinks. Such a great perk the Drury offers. The breakfast is great too. The pool area and hot tub is really nice. The room we had was really spacious and perfect for 1 adult and 2 kids.

Drury Gainesville maintains the excellence that comes with the Drury family of hotels. Front Desk staff were friendly and fast; breakfast was fresh and multiple choices. And, the fitness room had new machines and supplies. A great place for a stay.

They offer a great reception from 5-7:30 daily plenty of hot food soup and salad, hot dogs for the old and young and 3 adult drink tickets per adult registered. Sodas and other non alcohol drinks free. A family of 5 could save 60 - 80 dollars just by eating free inhouse. Love it
