    Great location

    Our shih tzu had an appointment with a vet at University of Florida AC. Hotel was five minutes away, but more than that, they made him feel welcome, rather than tolerated like some other hotels. We could eat in the lobby restaurant with him, and there was a dog rest area so we didn’t have to walk around a strange area at night. The rooms were modern and perfect for our stay. I recommend it for anyone traveling with a dog.

    Great stay!

    We got a room with 2 queens and loved our stay! Piglet was happy, the room was really nice and the tech was user friendly. We will definitely be back!

    It was fine

    The parking situation is not ideal and the parking garage is quite sketchy… really falling apart and lots of people loitering. The hotel room was small and decently clean. There is a dog area gated off that’s small and turfed. It's shared with a large student housing complex though and every time we went there were dogs there. It was fine, not good, not bad.

    College kids gonna college kid

    My sole complaint from a dog perspective is that the dog area is shared by a huge apartment complex for college students (where my UF daughter lives). The pet area would be perfect if the kids cleaned up after their pups. A poop-a-palooza on artificial grass. I do think the hotel or apt mgmt clean it up, but just be aware you share the space with college kids. The hotel itself is comfortable, accommodating and very nice!

    Outstanding

    Went above and beyond to make us welcome! Zoe loved the hotel! Elevator - not so much....
    She’d never been in one before.

    Best in Gainesville!

    Awesome location, walking distance to everything on UF campus. Great very reasonably priced food options at AC Kitchen. Complimentary coffee in the lobby in the am. Super dog friendly with dedicated dog outdoor relief area as part of complex. Very efficient checkin - no valet at present, self parking - very convenient. This AC has always been our choice to stay in Gainesville and now we can visit our Gator son with our 10lb dog - the whole family is happy. Appreciate the staff at AC Marriott going above and beyond to create a welcoming, safe clean environment. We will be back every month!
