Nice facility; very comfortable rooms. Although they don't clean the rooms every day (i.e. make the bed, bring fresh towels, etc) I wish they would at least empty the trash cans every day. There are only two small trash cans in the room, and they were filled by the second day. I had to empty them myself into the outdoor trash container. Either empty every day or use bigger trash cans. Front desk employees were very nice and helpful.

Nice Remod but Won’t Stay Here Again
Kudos to whomever led the redesign of this former Days Inn. It was thoughtful and elegant for what you had to work with. Observations: Shutters on the windows, albeit cute, block out absolutely ZERO sunlight. Interior wall-mounted HVAC is far superior to window unit. However, placement is not ideal as it blows directly on your face in bed lol. Shower is super cute but lacks any water pressure and doesn’t allow more than semi-warm temp. I really wanted to love this property but unfortunately won’t stay here again.

A Great place to stay, close to everything!
I had a great trip. It was exactly what I needed. It was the most reasonable room available in the area and I didn't have to sacrifice anything. The room I was in seamed to be recently renovated. The beds both had nice linens, a thick comfy comforter and plenty of better than average pillows. The bathroom was recently done. The shower floor was...river rock, I guess you would call it, with nice tile walls with a new large overhead shower head. If I had to make any critique, it would be on the shower. It was very nice, but the craftsmanship on the renovation wasn't... the greatest. The valve to turn the water on and off was very hard to turn, the adaptation of the new showerhead to the existing plumbing looked clunky, and the meeting of new tilework to old tilework didn't leave them with allot of good choices for cohesion. The water pressure wasn't great and the water could have been hotter. That being said, That's if I am trying to look for improvements! None of those things impacted my stay in any way. New furniture, full size iron and ironing board. A nice desk to work at with a lamp with plugs for my laptop. Beautiful new heavy duty wooden shades on the windows. The pool looked very nice, there was a fountain in the courtyard that lit up at night and a firepit area. Best of all was the full breakfast. Belgian Waffles, sausage gravy and biscuits and everything in between. Plus a self service BAR. Beer and wine on tap! A wonderful place to stay!

You won't be dissapointed staying here
I got this room just to get away for new years eve. The price was extremely reasonable. The room it self was exceptionally clean, nicely decorated and with the after 10 quiet rule was good for sleeping even with the new years eve celebration. I would definitely come back if I visited Ocala again. And only being an hour from home it didn't take long to get home.

The value for the cost was awesome. The room was updated and the shower was beautiful. It was clean and roomy. The beds were comfortable. The only thing that I would advise is a softer and more sanitized washing detergent. The towels were kinda rough.

Great place to stay.
This is a great place to stay for no frills. Great price, rooms are clean, staff was very courteous and attentive. Cute lounge area with nice breakfast and even a beer and wine bar. Nice outdoor space with a cute waterfall and a nice pavilion with fireplace. Convenient location to pretty much everything. We booked again in February for the Clydesdales show at The world equestrian center. Very nice stay.
