Def could tell it had been updated. Liked the room very much especially the split AC unit, makes a lot more sense to be able to control the AC compared to the old window style and liked that there wasn’t any carpet, plenty of outlets, bathroom sinks and shower were nice (only issue, low water pressure) and in our room, looked like shower head wasn’t centered when remodeled and had to stand close to the wall. Liked the mini fridge. Overall exceptional experience and great job in renovated the property. Would have loved to have stayed to use the pool and outdoor seating and try the breakfast.

Really nothing to complain about.

We love how comfortable it was. The staff was friendly. When we were there it was cold and rainy so we didn’t get to enjoy the pool or outdoor patio area, however it looked so nice. The place was immaculate and our grandkids loved it. We loved the cookies in the evening.

The only thing I couldn’t understand was the pricing. Sunday night was just over $100 yet Saturday night would have been close to $600. Such a wide price difference and there was nothing really going on in the area we weekend we were there. For $100 the place is a steal, for $500-600 I’d been disappointed. If you can stay here for $200-$250 a night it’s a great place to stay.

Everything here is CLEAN. The rooms, the grounds, the lobby and common areas are spic-n-span and well kept. The pool is fairly large, sparkling, and surrounded by a large area of lawn. A great advantage for families and youth sports teams. The staff are friendly and bend over backwards to resolve any issues that might arise. I'm very grateful for the way they handled my particular challenge. The rooms are a bit spartan and don't feel particularly cozy, but my bed was very comfy and I assume they all are. I love all the equine related murals throughout the facility. I love finding gems like this older motel, lovingly and creatively restored and well managed. This hotel is in a convenient location, within an easy 8-10 minutes drive to the Florida Aquatic (FAST) swim complex. Lots of restaurants and retail stores close by. I typically avoid hotels that have outer entrances to rooms, but made an exception here. I felt quite safe during my stay and wouldn't hesitate to stay here again. Oh...and upon check-in, they remind guests know that quiet hours begin at 10 pm. Well done!

The breakfast fare was disappointing. I'd read previous reviews describing much better options than were available during my visit. But I've noticed this to be the case with most hotel breakfasts, likely due to higher food costs and food prep staff shortages. So a mediocre breakfast isn't a deal breaker for me. This app is assigning a sad face to this part of the review, but if I could change it, it would just be neutral 😐.

We've stayed here multiple times. Staff is always wonderful, rooms are very nice, beds are comfortable, amenities are nice, breakfast was free. Our experience each time has been far beyond expectations. Also, my wife accidentally left her earbuds in the workout room and they were missing when she came back. She went to the front desk and after accurately describing them and where they were left, they were given back to her. Someone had been nice enough to bring them up front. Nice to know we're staying at a place with such kind people.

Breakfast was pretty good, but on par with other free hotel breakfasts. It's not really a complaint, but it was the only part of the trip that wasn't above and beyond expectation. I would welcome improvement on this, but we're happy to come back regardless. Also, there was plenty of food, and we never saw an empty container. Staff were on top of it 100%.

Delightful staff, very attentive, pet friendly. Location is in great spot, and plenty to do. Fresh omelet bar for breakfast was delicious! (not sure if omelet bar is a weekday event). House keeping was very kind and attentive as well. Towels and bedding great quality. Lobby has cookies in the evenings and I believe I saw beers on tap as well.

I wish there was more seating in the room (only one chair). The walls in the bathroom could use a good washing. And breakfast bar during weekend was OK, not sure if omelet bar is during weekday? Fruit bowl looked sad, maybe offer fresh cut up fruit for breakfast and higher quality hot items.

The day we arrived was traumatic. A thunderstorm knocked the power out at the property just as we were checking in. But we did not have to wait long for the power to come back on. The staff were really nice and helpful in spite of the circumstances. The rest of our stay was uneventful and we really enjoyed our stay. It was one of the better hotels we stayed in for the price. I would definitely stay there again. The breakfast is great and it was one of the quietest places we have ever stayed.

The only negative I had was we had to stay on the second floor and I couldn't see why because it did not look like to me the rooms were all booked up. However, the room was great and it was very quiet.

The hotel was good for the price. After a day of driving all day, the beds were soft and very comfortable. This was a 1 night stay heading back home.

Overall, I was happy with the place. We didn't like the parking where our room was located. The room was nice. My negative would be with the bathroom. The door was hard to close, and water pressure in the shower could have been better and missing a hand towel.

We've stayed here multiple times, and it's always a great experience. Staff is kind and accommodating, the courtyard is beautiful, and the rooms far exceed expectations for this price range. The free breakfast is comparable to other chains that offer free breakfasts, but with our most recent stay, they had staff hand making omelets for guests on one of the days, which was a real step up. We recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the area.

No complaints, this is hands down the best value in Ocala.

Great location, right off of the highway, plenty of eating and shopping options on the same street. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The facility was clean. The pool was clean. Breakfast has a good selection and lasts until 10 AM! A definite plus for us late risers! Lol

Apparently there was a dog show in town during our stay so there were guests with dogs everywhere and not enough parking. Add far as the rooms go my only complaint is there is only one desk chair in the rooms we had which were doubles. So only one chair in a room with 3 to 4 people. We had to always sit on the bed or just stand.

Loved staying here! Room and beds were exceptionally clean. Staff were great and friendly. Beds were so comfortable and soft. Bathroom was updated and gorgeous. Shower was great and had good hot water. Stayed here to travel to the florida springs and it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend and as a bonus they do cookie time and give them out and have free breakfast. 10/10

Everything was great
