Equus Inn Ocala
Rooms were nice and clean. Location convenient. Breakfast options good. Outdoor fire pit n seating area was nice. Property even had a waterfall feature. ***Only issue was our room was as close to the main road n you could hear everything. Kept me up.

Days Inn by Wyndham Ocala North
The room was very very clean. Bed was a bit hard for me with Rheumatoid Arthritis. There was no hairdryer in the room glad I brought one. But all in all it was spotless and bathroom updated with stand in shower.

Clean room with plenty of space. Early check in for a fee was a plus after red eye flight!

Quality Inn & Suites Ocala I-75
Had to wait 2 hours past 3 pm check-in time because room wasn't cleaned until 5 pm. Room was clean and comfortable but had a very loud buzzing sound. Breakfast was pretty awful.
