Hilton Ocala
Bugs in sink and on pillow. Charged for parking never telling me and website says optional parking fee area. Water on floor and toilet never flushed. Wrote a letter to avoid writing review but no response, therefore writing the review.

Studio 6 Ocala, FL
Nothing unique. Sand in the sink. Stains on the mattress and couch. Looks like they have been there from the beginning. No locks on the outside door. Didn't feel safe. We didn't stay there. Not happening. The worker didn't charge us at all. He canceled our reservation.
