"The breakfast was awesome. The bathroom could use a little extra cleaning on the walls and the shower could use a door or a shower curtain. While taking a shower the water goes out onto the bathroom floor. The bottom of the shower door that is there, was all rust. But the shower itself was great. We had a haunted TV that turned on at midnight one night. Brought it to the attention of the staff in the lobby and we laughed for 2 days. Great customer service down at the desk. Planning another stay in a couple months. Would definitely recommend to everyone. We did not take advantage of the bar as it was an exhausting couple days for us in Ocala. Maybe next time."
