Top hotels in Historic District
Equus Inn Ocala
Hotel was immaculate and updated, well lit and had a great outdoor space for hanging out if you have the time, pool, covered lounge area. Staff was helpful, breakfast had healthy options like fresh cut oranges and hard boiled eggs. Would definitely recommend and will be back as a UFlorida mom.

Howard Johnson by Wyndham Ocala FL I-75
Staff was cordial and breakfast was good. Price is good, sheets are clean but Overall though: the room I got would benefit from more attentive cleaning, especially in the bathroom. This was a mayor let down for us this time. It is a basic motel-style hotel a bit dated but that would not be an issue ...

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.
