    This is an old motel that has been rehabbed quite nicely. The rooms are large and well appointed and very clean... The only downside is in connecting rooms there is only a door dividing you from the people next-door and sounds transfer very easily... Some type of acoustic deadening between adjoining rooms would be of help...

    After looking on trip advisor and seeing the reviews/pictures we thought this would be a good place to stay whilst visiting family in Ocala... I can't fault the room it was up together, and we had a couple of things wrong with the room when we arrived, and they were fixed straight away... but... unfortunately during our stay there must have been some sort of dog show going on locally so there was lot of barking very early on every morning... We were given a room with an interconnecting door and the neighbours we had on our last night of the stay were so loud until early hours of the morning that we could hear every word they were saying...

I finally got Netflix on, in the bedroom area to work... The next morning I got a text about house keeping to clean the room it was cleaned that day, everything good that day.... The next day I reported the TV at 6am and asked if that could be fixed, along with the room being cleaned we got back to the room late at 4:30pm the room still wasn't cleaned... Finally the lady showed up to clean the room and it was pretty late so we just asked for towels, soap and toiletpaper, she couldn't speak English and had no idea what we were saying... The main room is very large it had to small table lamps... In the bedroom the wooden plank blinds let light in...

There was also plenty of room to crate pets if needed... Although there was a desk and chair, the room could have used an extra chair or a small, portable folding table and chairs... Actually, we didn't ask for them, so, the hotel may already provide them if requested, not sure...

    I almost never leave reviews but this place deserves it! Visiting a friend in Ocala without my kids so I decided to stay at a place with a lower price point... From the moment I walked in I couldn’t believe it... Totally has the feel of a much more expensive hotel!... Lots of people there for a kid’s baseball tournament & I talked to a few other moms & everyone said the same thing: This is an AMAZING hotel for the price!... I swear if I was in the hotel renovating business (it’s obviously a renovated budget hotel)I’d want to work with the owners…please make more of these hotels all over the state(I weekend trip a lot) I would stay at this hotel (or any these people run) every single time!...

    ...The next morning I got a text about house keeping to clean the room it was cleaned that day, everything good that day.. The next day I reported the TV at 6am and asked if that could be fixed, along with the room being cleaned we got back to the room late at 4:30pm the room still wasn't cleaned... Finally the lady showed up to clean the room and it was pretty late so we just asked for towels, soap and toiletpaper, she couldn't speak English and had no idea what we were saying... On a good side, there was plenty of restaurants near by, the shower worked great, the room seemed clean at check in, the bed was comfortable, the ac unit worked, the parking lot seemed safe, no wierd smells...

    Recently, I went to see a friend in a nursing home and decided to stay the night. I called The EQUUS Hotel located in Ocala and spoke with a very pleasant individual who gave me an incredible price for a one-night stay at the hotel for $78.00... I checked into the hotel and the staff at the hotel were very friendly and accomodating... I was given a king-size bed with a refrigerator, microwave, and many other amenities that you find in a more expensive hotel... I highly recommend this hotel over others in the area and I will stay there again...

I can't fault the room it was up together, and we had a couple of things wrong with the room when we arrived, and they were fixed straight away... but... unfortunately during our stay there must have been some sort of dog show going on locally so there was lot of barking very early on every morning... On a positive note, the breakfast is ok, although all the plates, cutlery and cups are plastic/single use so not very eco-friendly, and the staff are very accommodating...

The front desk he/she that works in the evening could be more welcoming... There was a nice selection for breakfast, but they could use bigger and better cups rather the small styrofoam ones...

It’s not a new property, but it has been nicely upgraded, so the room I stated in felt current and comfortable, the bed was very comfortable, plantation shutters on the windows made the room feel light and airy... Breakfast was very good, the pool area is relaxing... As a single woman traveling alone with my dog, the property felt safe and inviting...

    After looking on trip advisor and seeing the reviews/pictures we thought this would be a good place to stay whilst visiting family in Ocala. The location for us was good and the staff were lovely... Now I appreciate this isn't necessarily the hotels' fault regarding barking dogs and inconsiderate neighbours etc... but what is the hotels' fault is the state of the pool to the point my husband and son did not go in it (I don't swim)... On a positive note, the breakfast is ok, although all the plates, cutlery and cups are plastic/single use so not very eco-friendly, and the staff are very accommodating...

We found the room to be clean (no pet or other odors) and very tastefully renovated... The beds were very comfortable and bedding all fresh and new... Bath and dressing areas were well appointed too... There was also plenty of room to crate pets if needed... The mini split a/c was much quieter and more efficient than the usual hotel a/c units... Although there was a desk and chair, the room could have used an extra chair or a small, portable folding table and chairs... Actually, we didn't ask for them, so, the hotel may already provide them if requested, not sure...

While traveling with my dog, my car broke down and I stayed per tow drivers recommendation. Very friendly workers, very clean and they allowed me to hang out the next day in the lobby/courtyard until my car was ready which ended up being almost 5pm. A great stay for sure!

We stayed as a group for a softball tournament. Hotel was very clean; breakfast was perfect for a bunch of teen girls. It was less than 10 minutes from the field. I would definitely stay again. We did not get a chance to use the pool, but it looked clean and had enough chairs around it. Also had a great outside sitting area.

The Inn is trying, but has a few things to address before achieving 5 stars. The ladies on the front desk were great - very pleasant and helpful. The grounds were nicely kept with a water feature, outdoor fireplace, and a gazebo with comfy chairs. The rooms need some work - the shower had poor water pressure and the floor had a deep slope into the drain so you really had to watch your footing. The rooms were pretty stark - no warm, cozy feeling. The hotel does not offer daily cleaning unless you request it - likely at an extra charge. (The cost was never addressed). We were there for 3 days, had no fresh towels or garbage pick up. There wasn’t a broom in the room to sweep the floors so the room got grungier and grungier. Would we stay there again! Likely not.

The rooms are spectacular....done just the way we'd like to do our home. The folks at The Equestrian are the epitome of friendly and professional. It was a great value and we will be coming back because of the service and accommodations of The Equestrian Hotel. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fantastic breakfast and the wonderful chef hand cooking an omelette to our liking!

We hit the hotel lottery! We were traveling from Nashville to Sarasota and stopped for the night at Equus Inn. Super clean, comfortable bed with nice sheets and a fresh smell. Bathroom with large shower with lovely tile and shampoo, conditioner and body wash on the wall in a dispenser. A hot breakfast that was delicious. Eggs, Canadian bacon, and a waffle bar that the kids would love ( ok, I loved it too) The place is so clean and well taken care of. Win, win, 5 stars and we will be back!

We were in Ocala visiting family for Thanksgiving and decided to stay overnight. The hotel is conveniently located to restaurants and shopping. The accommodations were amazing. The two queen bed room was spacious, clean, and had a large refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker. The staff were very professional and friendly. Best thing of all, the great room rate. I will definitely book this hotel again and recommend to family and friends.

The staff was extremely friendly. The room was clean. The lounge area by the pool was nice and even had a fireplace since it was a chilly evening when we stayed. It was close to a lot of restaurants right on the main strip. Before I book the room, I heard that they had done a remodel and I thought it looked very nice. I would definitely stay here again
