Great staff from top to bottom. Great hotel. One of the I’ve stayed at.
The staff were incredibly rude and snobby. Food was awful. I was chastised in the restaurant for making a phone call early in the morning, when NO ONE ELSE WAS IN THERE! I will never stay there again.
We always enjoy staying at the Eleo - we like the modernistic vibe, and general vibe. But we love the restaurant/bar! Every staff member we interacted with, from Nico to Nyla, and most especially Natasha, were fun, professional and efficient. And did I say fun? Also, the food never disappoints, and the drinks were amazing. We had two business/friends join us our 2nd night, and they were equally impressed!
One of the nicer hotels in Gainesville. Convenient to UF. Covey Kitchen restaurant is very good, especially for breakfast. Excellent omelette and grits.
