"Very nice and clean! Also had stocked kitchen. Only thing I can complain about is no ice, pillows are tiny. All 4 pillow on a king didn’t lift my head enough to watch tv. But overall good place!"
"This was way too much money for the quality of hotel. The breakfast buffet was advertised as very good. They were out of hot food each morning. We were there within 20 minutes.
The first morning of our stay in over 30 minutes of waiting. The eggs and sausage were not restocked. The second morning it was a little quicker but the food quality was not good!
We paid around $200 per night, and the night after we left the hotel went down to the '80s. That would have been an appropriate amount"
"We stayed at La Quinta Inn & Suites Ocala from March 5–8, 2026 for the FLAGs North swim meet and were extremely disappointed. We chose this hotel for the location and price, but the conditions were far below acceptable.
When we arrived, three police cars were outside. The lobby looked nice, but the elevator was run down, smelly, and dirty. The fifth floor smelled musky and hot, with filthy baseboards and grimy window sills. Our room (516) had tissue stuffed in the peephole, light leaking around the door, and a strong animal-like odor. The bathroom was dirty, with peeling paint, a leaking sink, and grime in the tub. We were given only two towels for a family of four, and the dresser drawers were sticky with items left from a previous guest. Several outlets were broken.
Housekeeping never came once during our three-night stay—no fresh towels, no bedding changes, nothing.
The pool area was also in poor condition, with bugs, dirt, and leaves in the pool and jacuzzi. The sidewalks were cracked, the jacuzzi wasn’t hot, and our kids came out dirtier than when they went in. The carpet in our room was so dirty that our kids’ legs turned black from playing on the floor.
Breakfast was edible, but I found hair in the gravy, which raised more concerns about cleanliness.
We understand this is a budget hotel, but the lack of cleanliness, maintenance, and basic service made this stay unacceptable. We will not return and cannot recommend this property."
