Ocala is about 30 minutes south of Gainesville. There is a nice Residence Inn right off I-75.


We stay in Ocala, but I live in West Palm. The hotels are cheap though. We actually hooked up with a dual LSU/UF tailgate. Had a blast. Then they whipped our arse in the 2nd half.

All the hotels in Gainsville are shite holes. I would look just outside of Gainsville for a Hilton or Hampton. Also, last time we went, the Hooters didn't serve liquor, only beer.

There's a Hampton off Archer Road that was pretty nice. Stayed there in March for baseball against them.

The people who have a bad time on lsu road trips are generally total losers or people who take the games way too seriously. in gainesville, just don't walk around with an open container and you'll be fine. I'd stay in gainesville if at all possible. keep checking and they'll open up.


I've been to 117 straight LSU games and don't get emotional about the game. I still think Gainesville is the worst of the SEC game-weekend environments.

Couldn't agree more. Only place I've ever had a run-in with campus police, and I wasn't even drinking. Just wearing the colors.
