WAY over priced for these kinds of issues
Pros:

Friendly staff . Hot breakfast was sparse but good. Newer building.

Cons:

One icemaker and barely any ice. What I believed was dog poop all the way down the stairs. Sparkling water machine had no bubbles. Mold in the shower. Homeless person helping themselves to the icemaker in the lobby.

Great location in Ocala and good value for your money
Pros:

This is our third stay at this location and we like it because of the convenience and the value for the money.

Cons:

The Staff when we tried to check in, we’re not around. We had to look for somebody to check us into the hotel. The facilities weren’t as clean as they have been in stays past.
