Terms and Conditions

These terms outline what to expect during your stay and help us maintain clear expectations for everyone.

Prices and Taxes

Rates are subject to applicable taxes and fees. Prices may change based on demand and season, but your confirmed reservation rate is guaranteed. Total costs including taxes and fees will be disclosed at booking.

Smoking Policy

Gainesville Lodge is a completely smoke free property. Smoking is not allowed in the rooms or in the common areas (indoor and outdoor). A $250 charge will be applied for smoking in a guest room.

Payment and Check-in/Check-out

Major credit cards are accepted and required on file for incidentals. Check-in is 3 PM, check-out is 11 AM. Late checkout may be available upon request and subject to availability. PLEASE REACH OUT TO US AT 352-376-1224 IF YOU PLAN ON ARRIVING AFTER 8PM SO THAT WE CAN PROVIDE AN ALTERNATE WAY TO ACCESS YOUR ROOM. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN A DELAY IN ACCESSING YOUR ROOM ONCE YOU ARE ON THE PROPERTY.

Traveling with Minors

Guests under 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian, or travel with written parental consent. Parents and guardians are responsible for supervising minors throughout the property.

Accessibility and Special Needs

We accommodate accessibility requests whenever possible. Please inform us of specific needs when booking so we can ensure appropriate room assignment and arrangements. Note that this is an older property with some inherent limitations.

Parking

Complimentary parking is provided for registered guests, one space per room, on a first-come, first-served basis. Overnight parking for non-guests is not permitted.

Hotel Events

The property occasionally hosts events that may generate noise. As we're located in a college town, some ambient activity should be expected. We'll provide advance notice of scheduled events when possible. Please check out our Events Calendar for more information.

Dispute Resolution and Issues

Please bring concerns to management immediately so we can address them promptly. Any unresolved disputes will be governed by Florida state law and handled through appropriate local courts.

Use of Personal Information

We collect personal information necessary for service provision and legal compliance. Information is used solely for hotel operations, guest services, and required reporting. We do not sell guest information to third parties.

Liability

Gainesville Lodge maintains the property in reasonable condition and will address legitimate concerns promptly. Guests are responsible for their personal belongings and should exercise standard precautions. The hotel's liability is limited to direct damages resulting from our negligence.

Force Majeure

The hotel is not liable for service disruptions caused by circumstances beyond our control, including but not limited to natural disasters, power outages, or government actions. We will work with guests to find reasonable solutions when such events occur.

Third Party Rights

These terms create obligations solely between Gainesville Lodge and registered guests. Third parties have no rights to enforce or benefit from these terms unless explicitly stated.

Waiver

Failure to enforce any provision of these terms does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce that provision in the future.

Severance

If any portion of these terms is deemed unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full effect.
