Hilton Garden Inn Ocala Downtown
This is my 3rd time staying here. Great front desk staff! Only area of dissatisfaction was with the parking. They now charge for parking! $25 a night. They said it was the city but it’s not true. You need to use the free parking garage which is a pain when you have luggage.

Shamrock Cove Inn
I can tell the owner works hard to keep this place. I can not complain anything for this price. Close to everywhere. Yeah, bit noisey from traffic but it didn't last all night.
