I booked my travel to Ocala, Florida through Amtrak. I was able to book my hotel stay and rental car as well right from the Amtrak website. Unfortunately, the Ramada as the sign says outside, not the Ramada Inn as some of us may be used to, was obviously a shell of its former glory days. Legend has it that the late George Steinbreiner used to own this hotel, so as you enter the hotel lobby, you will find a showcase of New York Yankee jerseys, caps and other memorabilia. That being said, when I opened the door to my room, the room was less than inviting. The room and decor immediately showed its age. The closet used to have chrome railings which were now very rusty and unappealing. The bathroom tiled floor looked unclean and the shower and tub were unsightly. The soapdish was broken so there was no place to put your soap. Fortunately I always carry my own soapdish. Then there was the issue of the 4 non working ice machines. Although there was an ice machine very close to my room, it was not working. There were also two others which I walked to one day which also were not working after I trotted across the courtyard of this hotel to find those locations. I had to take the long walk back to the hotel lobby, (all of this walking is outside in the Florida Heat) everytime my family needed ice. My son killed cockroaches on 2 different occasions in our room while we were there. There is no wifi in this place, (I don't want to call it a hotel, because it isn't). There is continental breakfast, which consist of the same things everyday. Pancakes and waffles in a warmer tray, 2 different types of cereal, 2 different types of juices, orange and cranberry. A small assortment of danishes, bagels and english muffins. Coffee, regualr and decaf were probably the only thing that was o.k about this place.
