Equus Inn Ocala
Amazing value at the Equus Inn. Equivalent rooms in Gainesville were going to $700 per night during graduation. Clean rooms and well appointed. Breakfast pretty good. Usual stuff like hot scrambled eggs, ham, pancakes, waffles. Would stay again if Gainesville sold out.

Studio 6 Ocala, FL
Nothing unique. Sand in the sink. Stains on the mattress and couch. Looks like they have been there from the beginning. No locks on the outside door. Didn't feel safe. We didn't stay there. Not happening. The worker didn't charge us at all. He canceled our reservation.
