My Husband and I went for the Food and Wine Escape after we got married. We had a wonderful time , we stayed on the Exectutive Floor and were delighted. The room was beautifully decorated, comfortable and the bed was so plush you just melted in. The Thoroughbred louge was wonderful with it's complimentary cocktails and appetizers. The Chocolate fountain was decadent and the staff was very courteous and helpful.We truly enjoyed spending time with Buddy he is a beautiful, friendly Clydesdale we loved giving him his cookies. We look foward to another visit soon. It was a delight

Hello,
the Hilton Hotel is from the rooms a quite hotel. The rooms a large enough and clean. The equimpent in the bathroom are organized with glasses and a place to put the soap away.
What is missing is a small fridge.
The staff tries to do whatever is needed.
The Arthur restaurant I got two times dissapointed and one time it was good. But if you are in Ocala go to Ipanema very good restaurant with a fair price.

The hotel has a large pool, a horse in front of it. The gym is from my point of view for this kind of hotel to small.
I propably stay again.

I stayed here as part of a road trip.
Check in was good. The front desk tried to accomodate me in giving me a quiet room on a college football weekend. This was much appreciated.
The room had obviously been recently remodeled. The bed was fantastic- better than Westin, with excellent pillows. They also had a clean white duvet.
The room was painted a nice shade of sage, to give a calm atmosphere.
The bathroom was remodeled in a modern style, but unlike some remodels, had been well thought out with ample counter space and storage-- and a lighted magnifying mirror. Toiletries were nice (La Source).
The one thing that was mystfying was that such a new remodel had so many stains on the carpet.
Room service was fine both as far as service and food. The lady who delivered the food was very nice.
I was traveling with a dog, and the pet fee is a rather high $49.00. They give you a "complimentary" pet kit-- the size of a suitcase, and pretty unnecessary. There are certain designated pet rooms near the elevator, and they do not allow pets on the Executive Floor, which was a disappointment.
As others have noted, the price is a bit high here. Even so, I would probably return as I think this is probably the best hotel in the area.

The Hilton is a beautiful hotel, especially if you are needing to book a function such as a reception. While I agree with the other comments, it should be noted that this is an extremely expensive hotel. The rates ran from $169 to over $200, depending on the date of travel.

I also do not care for the attitude of some of the staff. The front desk seemed indifferent and the bartender, a young male, said he knew how to make the drink I'd ordered but when it arrived, it was quite different than the standard recipe, and not very good. He served the drink and then retreated to the other end of the bar to continue chatting with friends. He never returned. Another bartender, who must have sensed my frustration, came to my rescue and took my second order when I was ready.

Their food is excellent. While many hotels get a bad rap for their restaurants, we love the Hilton dining room and have always gotten excellent food and service. It's elegant and has been a good place to celebrate special occasions.
