Nice hotel, facility and staff. They charged me for valet fees every day that I stayed in the hotel, even though I never even used the valet. They also NEVER came to clean our rooms!!

Rooms were never serviced or items replenished.
2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I enjoyed our stay, there are plenty of places to eat around, grocery store within walking distance. In this occasion we chose to stay again in this hotel because were going to a volleyball game at FAU, which the stadium is walking distance from AC Hotel, works perfect! Only thing we don’t like is that is only ballet parking but at least they have the option to help parking your car for a fee ☺️ so that is fine.
Ingrid, 1-night trip

AC hotel was an outstanding experience
Michael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

“Are you stupid?”
I was patronized and treated as if there is no difference between a room on an higher floor, and a “better” room. They kept asking me which would I rather have because I couldn’t have both. The rooms were the same except one was on a higher floor.

Julie, 1-night trip

Great hotel - best Gainesville option if you want to be in a great location. Would be nice if the lobby didn't blast music at 7am for those of us who want to head down and work and have breakfast. Maybe a little quieter or maybe wait til 9am?. It's not the One Hotel in South Beach.
Dan, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Valet option is a must.
