- Other motels: There are thousands of motel rooms in Gainesville. Here is a link to the Gainesville Visitor and Convention Bureau which lists many of them. These motels will be, of course, of varying quality, and the prices will vary a great deal especially with Gatornationals. You may get a good rate through an on-line travel service, but it has already happened that on-line rates were changed after a system was updated for special event rates. If you take this route, you are on your own. Good luck!
