Excellent, inexpensive motel. $75/night... clean and bug free! Great friendly owners.
Perfect place to stay if you just want to relax with a little nostalgia. Not a chain motel. Clean and comfy room. Nice person checked us in. Reasonable rates for two adults. Quiet. I enjoy the bustle of traffic going by. Convenient location. Would definitely stay here again.
This is a nice quite hotel. Rooms are clean outdated. But owner aims to please.
This is definitely the best motel in Ocala that I've stayed in. The owners are awesome, really nice & acommadating. Everything from the rooms being clean to the speed of the Wi-Fi is better. Also, I've rarely ever seen a roach and/or bugs in my room and I've been here for quite awhile and with the fairly reasonable daily and weekly rates it is definitely a cut above the rest. Just to be clear I'm comparing this motel to other motels not hotels that I've stayed in.
