Very beautiful clean look to the place! Room was clean... this is the second Holiday in booked this past trip and extremely happy the Holiday locations were perfect both Tallahassee and Ocala. I have not stayed in a Holiday Inn for so long...but last experience with the Mariott Program in Ft Lauderdale was awful so we thought "let's try Holiday Inn". THANKS, we will be back to Holiday Inn again!
The room was clean. The staff were very friendly and pleasant. There were enough parking spaces.

Picked this property because it had a restaurant. I wanted a good breakfast in the morning because I work long hours until early in the am. Coffee maker did not work in my room. Went down, not breakfast, staff issue. Asked desk person is there coffee, no person here to make it. How about a new coffee maker? Nope, house keepers nor maintenance not onsite. Had to walk to hotel next door and beg them for a cup of coffee. Premium pricing, premium property, lousy service, not helpful. Not even a water station in the lobby. The Days inn has coffee 24/7...
Second time here. Close to everything like food and shopping. Love the ambiance/atmosphere. Will definitely be back again. It’s our new go to in our way to go to a cruise or when we go visit family

The rooms were clean. But you can tell that the hotel isn't older hotel. The beds were very hard and bumpy. Besides that everything else was fine. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful.
Check in staff was good a trainee. Morning girl no comment. Room is declining been stopping there in my way to Disney yearly and is showing decline. Will go back to the courtyard
The hotel itself is nice. Its clean, the staff is attentive and handled their business. The decor has character, but the furniture in the room is dated. It could use an update but overall it sufficed.
Very disappointed with our stay. We specifically asked for a quiet room and were given a room with AC equipment for the hotel and other rooms right in front of our window . View of a rooftop with air conditioning units right on it. It was so loud all night, none of us were sleeping. The AC inside of our room was insanely loud and made strange noises. When turned off, we heard the AC units outside our window and our neighbour’s AC all night.
For the price we payed it definitely was NOT worth it. It’s very disappointing as we have used this chain of hotels in the past with only good experiences. We had a horrible stay at this one.
Very nice rooms, quiet. One staff member wasn’t so pleasant. She acted as if she was being bothered when checking in. Other staff members were fantastic.
