I am writing to provide feedback on my recent stay at the Eleo Hotel during the UF Orange and Blue Game. While the valet and concierge provided excellent service and the overall cleanliness of the hotel was commendable, I must express my disappointment with the accommodations in our room. Upon entering our hotel room, my family and I noticed that the work being completed on the ceiling was incomplete, with exposed drywall and nails visible. As a guest at a 4-star hotel, I expected a higher level of quality and attention to detail in our accommodations. I appreciate the efforts of your staff in providing good service, but the incomplete ceiling work significantly impacted our overall experience at the hotel. I hope that this feedback can be used constructively to address and rectify such issues for future guests. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope that the Eleo Hotel can continue to strive for excellence in providing a comfortable and satisfactory stay for all guests. Sincerely, Chantel & Joshua Johnson

Hotel Eleo is part of the gain in Gainesville. Perfectly situated in the center of town, it lends credence to a unversity town that boasts a campus, UF health and various family friendly attractions. The gym is rather small and could be bigger. There is no pool but the lakrside view of the room makes up for it. Perfext for guest, visitors, travel nurses and anyone looking for a decent hotel with friendly staff.

From pulling up to the amazing structure to the valet service to the warm greeting at the front desk...this hotel is really welcoming! My family had a great experience and the location is perfect. I have 2 cons from our stay...there was some mold in our bathroom so we were extra cautious with our kids and the room was a bit small for our family of 4.

We loved this newer hotel. Our room was huge and gave my family plenty of room to not feel crowded. Enjoyed the coffee and all the extra amenities. My only complain was they did not clean the room up and we stayed two nights. I had to call down for towels and again for coffee supplies the next day. For such a beautiful hotel it was a bummer to have to look at dirty towels on the floor and trash my second day there.
