Rush Lake Motel, Gainesville

My boyfriend and I stayed here for a Gator game and we were appalled at the quality of the room! I have traveled through Europe and have stayed in better hostels than this place. The concrete block walls made me feel like I was in prison, the A/C unit would not stay cool and was so filled with mildew that we both woke up congested. Definitely not worth the money...I am staying in Ocala where I do not have to worry about the 2 night minimum! Would not stay here again!!!

I like how they keep the rooms and area clean but other than that bugs and roaches from outside will creep in your room if you leave the door or patio door open due to the fact that the place is surrounded by trees where these little insect happen to live and waiting to come sleep inside with you. But it's worth the money you pay just don't invite the critters inside

I was in town for a organization week, we were kick out of a so called five star hotel at 5 a.m. (Paramont) and Rush Lake welcomed us with open arms. From the outside it wasn't very attractive, it give off an old cabin look and it was very dark. But upon entering the rooms I was pleased to see that the rooms where clean and I loved the view of the swimming pool from our window. The bathroom was very roomy and the double bed room was very spacious. It was also very quiet, so that's always a plus. All in all, I will be going beack to that hotel this summer. *THE PRICES ARE UNBEATABLE*

This is by far the cheapest in town. About 35-50% cheaper than the surronding hotel/motels. However, the room we stayed- I saw a roach, I had to ask the front desk for extra toilet tissue, and change the sheets. Overall, the staff was very nice and professional, but the cleanliness is questionable.

You can't beat the price anywhere in town it's old but fairly clean very nice staff also very good location for v.a. hospital, within walking distance

The room was dirty and mildew was everywhere.. My sister was sick after staying a couple of hours in that hotel.... We checked out the same night and we slept in the car....

I stayed at this motel because it was close to Shands hospital since a loved one was a patient there. I was impressed with the outside surroundings which pleasantly displayed a little but of vegetation still undeveloped. The room was clean, and the comforters looked brand new. The bed was extremely comfortable. There is a path that leads to Shands but it is not adviseable to walk alone, and the hospital front lobby warned that although nothing has happenend in a few years, women should not walk by themselves through that short-cut path to the hospital. I only stayed one evening.

I have been going to Gainesville for a couple years now with a group of friends for gator games. This is the cheapest price out of all the hotels/motels and is the second closest to the stadium. In years past, we stayed at the America's Best Value Inn which in about two blocks away. This place is much better - and more importantly cleaner. I was skeptical at first since there is minimal info about Rush Lake Motel on the internet, but it turned out to be a great choice. I probably wouldn't recommend for honeymooners but it is a great choice for a group of guys. Room was totally bug free - unlike the America's Best Value Inn. The best part about this place is that it was only $95/night on a football game weekend. Most other hotels and motels are around $200-250.
