When we first arrived, the bathroom stunk like a porta potty so we had to turn on the fan and leave it running for a while.
The nightstand and floor had some sticky substance on them that I can only assume was dried soda.
The bed frame was not put together properly and kept falling apart. My husband had to pick up the mattress and put the slats back into the frame multiple times. This was just from simply sitting on the bed.
Staff was nice. However, due to multiple issues I would book elsewhere next time.

The reason I left the reviews as I did was based on cost of the state. Rooms are small and mine did not have a chair. Staff was very helpful when it turned out someone had set the TV or gaming and some cables have been switched on the back. This is old school motel where I have been before and for what I’m doing if it’s perfectly especially cost for $57.50 for single with queen size bed.

There was a bed, fairly comfortable. There was a TV. It powered on but said it was not connnected to ANYTHING and was completely unusable. There was nowhere to sit. The air conditioner was louder than most jet planes. There was NO PLACE to put toiletries. There were NO cups - even plastic for water to take pills with.

I have stayed here off and on the last few years, and it has just gone downhill. Guessing maybe change of ownership? Rooms used to have personality and home touches. Now, my room was very minimal with poor lighting. My whole room had 1 lamp in one corner of the room. It was inexpensive which made it palatable. Not sure I will stay here again.

It’s a nice place especially for the age of the building. The rooms are nice and clean, the beds are comfortable, as well as the bathroom.
It would be nice to have blackout curtains on the window with the louvre blinds, because when vehicles pull up to the building, the headlights illuminate the entire room.
A small in the room coffee machine would be nice too. We would definitely come back, but the mentioned additions would be awesome.

Very noisy road, bring earplugs. This is a 2 star with very basic room items. Our small room had a Tiny bathroom. Very old motel with only 12 rooms. Room had comfy bed, tv, mini fridge, microwave and desk, but did not have coffee maker or hairdryer. We did get hairdryer from front desk.
Single women, do not book, if I had not been traveling with my husband, I would not have felt safe on this street. It is also not safe to walk anywhere from the hotel, no restaurants nearby.
Police station is across the street in a shopping center with a thrift store and there is a Pawn shop next door. You will hear Police sirens several times at night. I will not stay in this area next time.
I will however, return to Harry’s restaurant downtown on the square for New Orleans cuisine again!! It was a 4 star meal.

Part of the listing does not match the property. While the attendant was friendly at check in, and the room was clean enough to consider acceptable, the bed was absolutely terrible. We could visibly see the mattress sunk in at the middle when we walked into the room. (The picture of the room on the motel’s website does not show the bed in that condition.) We also did not have the hydro-massage shower head that the website claims is there, which is not a huge deal, but the water would not even turn all the way to hot. There were no blackout curtains or drapes of any kind. The room had blinds. The motel is located on a busy street, so there was street noise (revving engines, loud music, and sirens) throughout most of the night. While we appreciate the “old time” charm of the property, it could really use a little TLC to make it better - starting with the mattress in room #3.

This is not an exceptional property, even for an older motor court motel. The road noise and light from the parking lot are challenging for sleeping. The bed posts were not secured to the bed and there were only two working light bulbs. There are better maintained motor court motels next to Silver Springs state park if you are looking for this vibe.

We stayed here two years ago and found this little place charming. Since then it’s become run down and no longer charming. The grounds around the entry to the rooms are full of weeds, the parking lot is all cracked and full of potholes, and the outside doors are all faded and beat up. There was never anyone in the office (the person still cleaning our room 40 minutes after check in time had to get someone to check us in). The biggest plus to this place is the proximity to the downtown (we walked to dinner) and a Starbucks just a block away.

If you’re looking for a safe, inexpensive place to sleep and not much else, this is a solid choice.

So I’m just going to stick to facts and let you decide. We booked here as a place to stay after the UF homecoming game. We booked a king room, paid for a king, and I guess due to our late arrival had a queen room. It was a bed and we were grateful for a bed.

It’s a charming, OLD motel, that they are lovingly renovating. Unfortunately you cannot change the walls, so you do literally hear everyone’s conversation in the sweet sitting area across the parking lot, as well as the neighbors in their rooms. I’m sure our neighbors heard our TV until midnight. You will hear the road noise all night. Literally all night. Trucks, cars, music in those cars. But that IS NOT the fault of the owners, just a sad by product of the location.

The AC was extremely cold and quiet. If you need a dark room to sleep, bring a sleep mask. The bed was firm but not uncomfortably firm. We had a very thick/firm pillow and a flat softer pillow in the sham. It worked for me to put the pillow case over the sham to sleep, then I just put it back before we left. They WERE better than the flat feather pillows you get at some chain hotels, so that was appreciated that they tried to cater to everyone.

Having coffee IN THE ROOM would have definitely helped, but Dunkin was a few miles down the road.

We didn’t get to meet the owners but from reviews, they seem to pride themselves in their inn. I don’t want throw shade, but this is not 5 stars. Or 4. Per reviews, we expected better.

I was very excited for this stay however, It was very difficult to contact anyone before during or after the stay. The motel is quaint and I enjoyed the room itself, however there were several issues that made made me uncomfortable. First, I couldn't contact anyone about check in process but when I called back at the last minute they texted me a code for access. Next, there appeared to be people living there and smoking outside my door and there was no one on property to monitor unsafe situations. In the room, the water in the bathroom sink was hot only, no cold, so I couldn't use it and there was no one to contact. Last, when I went to check out and advise the property of the issues for future guests, there was an open sign on, door locked, and no one to be found.
The property is quaint and has potential however safety issues, no security or staff on property, and the busy road it's located on makes it a less desirable stop in Ocala.

The hotel has been there quite a while but they have done a very good job of remodeling and keeping the rooms very clean.
