Historic District Hotels near Ocala

"1st, the attractive lobby shown in pic.s has been torn down. Office staff were working oout of the 1st rooming unit. 2nd, the key machine was not working so the office worker would have to personally take guest to their room and let them in. 3rd, staff is limited, affecting front desk service and cleaning. 4th, this place is frequented by local homeless people and is not located in a good area of town. 5th, Our reservation was made a month in advance, secured with a credit card. At 5:30am of the day we were to arrive, staff attemped to charge my creditcard. Because I live in a different state, my cards fraud alert blocked the charge. Staff then canceled my booking and rented my room to someone else. When I got into town at 9pm, I found I no longer had a reservation at this establishment. But I happily looked elsewhere. I would not stay here if someone payed me."

"breakfast was good. Room was clean"

"Great stay"

"Did not use. Got in late at night and just slept and showered."

"No it was a bit gross. "

"Very nice and clean! Also had stocked kitchen. Only thing I can complain about is no ice, pillows are tiny. All 4 pillow on a king didn’t lift my head enough to watch tv. But overall good place!"

"It was a good stay. I don’t have pets. Slept good "

"This was way too much money for the quality of hotel. The breakfast buffet was advertised as very good. They were out of hot food each morning. We were there within 20 minutes. The first morning of our stay in over 30 minutes of waiting. The eggs and sausage were not restocked. The second morning it was a little quicker but the food quality was not good! We paid around $200 per night, and the night after we left the hotel went down to the '80s. That would have been an appropriate amount"

"We stayed at La Quinta Inn & Suites Ocala from March 5–8, 2026 for the FLAGs North swim meet and were extremely disappointed. We chose this hotel for the location and price, but the conditions were far below acceptable. When we arrived, three police cars were outside. The lobby looked nice, but the elevator was run down, smelly, and dirty. The fifth floor smelled musky and hot, with filthy baseboards and grimy window sills. Our room (516) had tissue stuffed in the peephole, light leaking around the door, and a strong animal-like odor. The bathroom was dirty, with peeling paint, a leaking sink, and grime in the tub. We were given only two towels for a family of four, and the dresser drawers were sticky with items left from a previous guest. Several outlets were broken. Housekeeping never came once during our three-night stay—no fresh towels, no bedding changes, nothing. The pool area was also in poor condition, with bugs, dirt, and leaves in the pool and jacuzzi. The sidewalks were cracked, the jacuzzi wasn’t hot, and our kids came out dirtier than when they went in. The carpet in our room was so dirty that our kids’ legs turned black from playing on the floor. Breakfast was edible, but I found hair in the gravy, which raised more concerns about cleanliness. We understand this is a budget hotel, but the lack of cleanliness, maintenance, and basic service made this stay unacceptable. We will not return and cannot recommend this property."
