What a great property especially if your in town for any of the horse shows in Ocala. The rooms are spacious. They offered an upgrade for $40 a day. We had a view of the pool. Not worth the up grade expense. Your not in your room enough. No microwaves in the rooms. Took our food to the front desk and they heated it up for us. More inconvenient than anything, but thankful for the option.

Business stay turned vacation!

Great second stay here! Love the rooms and pool! The only thing we were not happy with was that on checkout day (hours prior to our checkout time) our room keys quit working and the thermostat in the room locked so it got really warm in the room. I didn’t feel like that was right since we had until noon to checkout.

Beautiful hotel

Awesome stay. The hotel was beautiful. The rooms were large & clean. The hotel grounds themselves and the available amenities were fantastic. Would absolutely stay again. The ONLY draw back is you are about 20 minutes from anything - restaurants, grocery stores, even fast food.

I booked my double queen suite on hotel.com for 340.00 to include taxes. When we went to check in they tacked on an extra 100.00 incidental fee which was unexpected and not specified in the fine print. I also, asked for a military discount since we are a military family and the don’t offer that. The shower had hair inside the shower door, fortunately I brought clorox wipes so I can clean. The price would have been worth it if breakfast was included. We stayed here due to a gymnastics meet. The area is beautiful but be prepared to either travel for food options or pay extra on site.
