Love the unique equestrian themed rooms. Wish there was lights that dimmed, the intense bright white LEDs in the room are too much. Water pressure is weak. Stayed here twice because the price is great and rooms are clean.

I was a little concerned about it being a motel (doors on the outside), but based on all the good reviews, I decided to go for it. It was a very good experience and incredible value. We arrived too late for the cookies, wine and beer in the evening, but we enjoyed the breakfast. The only thing I didn’t like was that the pool was closed for reconstruction. I had no plans to use it, but if I had my family with me, it would have been a huge disappointment. This should be disclosed at booking.

A Hidden Gem!

This motel is old, but has been refurbished to a delightful degree. The rooms are large and comfortable, with the toilet and shower separate from the vanity, which I prefer. The luxurious shower itself is something you rarely see in a motel of this caliber. The bed is comfortable and properly situated in relation to the rest of the room, and most importantly, the TV. There is a larger than average hotel refrigerator and microwave, and an ice machine conveniently located next to the stairs on both floors. Plenty of personal amenities are provided, and everything in the room works perfectly. A late afternoon wine and beer fountain are provided in the breakfast area, although unfortunately we arrived too late to take advantage of it. There is a restaurant next door very similar to Zaxby's that I was unfamiliar with since there aren't any in Alabama, but it was tasty, convenient and affordable. The breakfast buffet is very good as well, with a variety of hot and cold items. Lastly, the front desk staff are friendly and efficient. We will make sure to stay here from now on every time we stop in Ocala.

There were quite a few reviews unfavorable about the establishment. How ever, my room was very clean, updated, very nice and I was able to keep the room temperature at my desired level. Nice flat screen tv, fridge & safe. Staff were very accommodating . Internet speeds were great too.

Spring for two beds

We love this hotel and the hospitality of the staff. However, the pullout bed in our room was the most uncomfortable sleep I've ever had.

I don’t usually like hotels where the rooms open out to the outside. However, we walked into the lobby and saw clean and it was the time we went to our room. Everything was neat and clean. The front desk staff was fantastic. They gave us good recommendations on restaurants. The room was clean, but I only had one down per person and I could’ve gotten more but it’s nice to have two per person. I love that they didn’t have carpet. We would definitely stay here again.
