Pros

Property-wide high-speed WiFi and business-friendly amenities including printers

“This Ocala inn stands out with its equine-tourism theme and rare self-serve beer and wine bar; the attractively landscaped outdoor areas, complete with a fire pit, create a welcoming environment. Rooms have been recently updated, and two-room suites include kitchenettes and dining tables for families or longer stays. I think its location near the World Equestrian Center and other attractions makes it a practical choice.”

This property has great potential, featuring clean rooms and a friendly atmosphere. The breakfast is notably good with plenty of options, and the outdoor areas are perfect for relaxation. However, some parts of the hotel could use some renovations, and the elevator cleanliness is a concern. Overall, it's a solid value for the price, especially for pet owners looking for a comfortable stay.
