Pleasant Stay
By Chris, 5/25/10
Older hotel with nice lake views, especially liked the alligators. My room was quiet even with a/c running. Clean room as well. Hot water from the shower never quit. Service staff form housekeeping were kind and helpful. Enjoyed the pool area with the view of the lake. Food was wonderful from the restaurant and staff was very friendly. I would stay again with the value received.

Super clean hotel
By John, 4/6/10
i stayed here easter weekend and had a very good experiance. Beautiful lobby with a great staff. One of the cleanest hotels i have ever stayed in. Its the first time where i havent slept on top of the comforter. I had a great night sleep. The room overall was extremely clean with a homely feel about it. I am coming back next year for my yearly visit to Gainesville.

Great hotel
By Bruce, 4/6/10
This was a GREAT hotel. I had a very good stay and will definatly come back. Not only was the food great, but the rooms were flawless. Very clean and great price. Had a nice modern look and if you get there by friday then you can enjoy a great seafood buffet. The service was out standing and had nothing but polient service. The location is very good as well. Would highly recomend to stay there and was a great experiance.

Awful Hotel---DO NOT GO!!!!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 10/29/09
If you are a fan of dead bugs on window curtains, mysterious stains on the bedspread and toilets that do not flush, I highly recommend that you come to the Paramount Plaza Hotel and Suites. Not only is the hotel extremely overpriced, but the stench is unbareable, the a/c does not work and the floor of the shower is extremely sticky. The safe does not lock and the doors which open to each individual building are never locked, therefore, there is absolutely no security. This is a very unsafe place which overprices an awful room with a GROSS bathroom. :(((((((((((((((((((

Gives Gainesville a bad name !!!!
By Saqif, 9/2/09
Wow,this place is the worst hotel I ever stayed at. To begin with the front desk is rude and unhelpful. Kept giving us the wrong room number plus when finally arrived to the room we were disapointed. The bathroom floor was sticky towels were unclean. The furniture was very old and about to fall apart. And house keeping had a big attitude. My advice DON'T STAY HERE !

Great Value
By Mark, 6/8/09
You can't beat the price or the location. The hotel is located very close to the University of Florida and sits on a beautiful lake. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.

Crickets in my room
By JoshS, 5/31/09
Started chirping at 3AM, eventually settled down though. Never got my 6:30am wakeup call, which normally wouldn't be a big deal except for the damn crickets that cut into my sleep time. On checkout, the front desk clerk cared neither about the crickets or the disappearing wakeup call. We were 2 hours late arriving to Disney thanks to the Paramount Plaza Hotel and the rush-to-work traffic that accompanied our late start. Several of the other negative comments below are accurate as well, but honestly I expect some of those things in a $60/night hotel. Basic pest control and guest services, however, should be standard. The Paramount failed in this regard, and I highly recommend skipping this place in favor of lodging that will do better.

Do Not Stay Here!!!
By Klem, 4/22/09
My husband and I recently stayed here with our two young daughters in April 09, Our double -bed room had no Refridgerator, no Microwave, no Dresser for us to put our clothes, the Coffee pot in the room was in the bathroom and had NO pot to go with it. The Towels which were at one time white looked yellowish-baige. The only thing the room had was a TV with very limited channels, two double beds and a night table with two drawers, the top draw had a phone directory and the bottom draw was left empty and a table and chair. We asked the manager if they could let us have a microwave or refridgerator in the room but were told that standard rooms did not come with those items, they were reserved for the DELUXE Rooms only. Breakfast is not included in the price and cost $6 + Tax

Just Terrible
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 2/14/09
The Plaza is terrible! Not at all as I remembered it being a few years ago. Neither the front desk nor room service ever answered the phone. The front desk was unfriendly, unhelpful, and dishonest. We reserved a king plaza room, and when we arrived on check-in, they had only rooms with double beds available. We were told that "A 100 other people here have booked king rooms, but they're staying in doubles also." We were told that a manager would be on duty in the morning, and then found out the next morning that the managers don't work on the weekend! There was lettuce in the bed. The bar closes at 10 pm. We ordered breakfast to be served the next morning, and things were missing from our order. We weren't able to get them because once again no one answered the phone at room service. When asked if we could be refunded the missing items, we were told outright no! I'm disputing the charges for the room. All in all the hotel and the staff are horrible. DO NOT STAY THERE!
