I knew from reading the reviews that this hotel did not have a lot to offer. But we were headed home and needed a night's stay.
The hotel is very old and looks like it has had no TLC in a long time. The old doesn't bother me as much as how dirty it was. The walls and stained carpet were appalling. The WIFI did not work.
When we asked the front desk, the lady who was busy shopping said, I am shopping right now so it must be fine.
We also were charged $25 pet deposit. Obviously they do not use it to actually clean their rooms.
The pillows were old and the bed very uncomfortable.
We were charged $125 with pet deposit.
The Hilton right off the freeway is so much nicer.

We opted for a suite, only few dollars more & well worth the extra space, sofa w/reading lamp, small kitchenette & large bathroom & huge tub/shower. Very clean, friendly staff & coffee on hand 24hrs. Convenient location, perhaps a smaller Holiday Inn, parking very convenient with resturants & shopping close by. Although we did not eat their breakfast it looked very good w/large selection, eggs, meat, gravy,sweet rolls & all the rest you expect.

worst experience ever i booked thinking its a holiday inn but i got 7st motel the staff was ghetto they were drinking and arguing they didnt care that we were there they were cursing at eachother they were all siting in the breakfast area talking and eating it was just ghetto never again and i suggest you shouldnt either.

My boyfriend and I came into Ocala to do some cave diving, and needed a place tso tay. It was a football game weekend, but not only did Holiday have a great room for us, the price wasnt bad either. The room was spotless, chic and comfy. The continental breakfast was one of the best we have had- fresh pancakes, hot eggs, hot cinnamon rolls and french toast, plus cold cereals, etc. The pool was nice too. Not a super flashy place and yes, the tv remotes are pretty slow, but for the price the comfort, the cleanliness, and friendliness of the staff were top notch. We will be back!
