The hotel seemed brand new. a Luxury stay at the same price as many of the bargain brand hotels in Gainesville for Parent's weekend. It's just s short drive, worth the extra time!
This was a last minute trip. It was a great location and easy to book. I loved the grounds. So much to do and having the opportunity to rent golf carts to explore made it so easy and fun.
I liked that it was clean and all staff that we encountered were very courteous.
I didn’t like the fact that I booked 2 different identical rooms for the same stay but booked them on different days. The room I booked earlier was $ 50.00 per night more expensive than the one I booked later. I also didn’t like that I requested the rooms be adjoining or at least close to each other but 1 was on 1 side of the hotel on the 2nd floor and the other room was on the 3rd floor on the opposite side of the hotel
This is a beautiful 5-star hotel. The equine theme is carried everywhere. It is on the grounds of the World Equestrian Center (WEC) in Ocala and very convenient to the various arenas/stadium/shops.
