10/10 Excellent
A few things.. I stay in 5 star properties a lot. And this is one of the few that allows the public to roam the entire hotel. Most others would require a room key to get on a guest floor.. people not staying there were roaming the halls. I find this a major security issue that really needs to be addressed by you.. this police would seriously affect my staying there in the future.

We LOVE the OCALA HILTON, it has been an icon for the Community. I hate to hear that the owners are going to paint the ICON something other than the beloved PINK. IT JUST WONT Be the same. We are not Animal owners, so having so many DOGS checking in with their owners is disheartening.

I had a mini vacation here between conferences at the University of Florida. I had a delightful room, wonderful facilities, gardens, saltwater pool, and the cat Butterscotch was a wonderful friend as I had a lovely evening in a rocker on the porch with a bit of wine and a book.
I highly recommend the massage therapist option. She was wonderful and set up and collapse was not intrusive in my room.

We have been to the Crystal River area a few times, but this was our first time staying at Kings Bay Lodge. We picked this place because it was on the water and close to the springs. The room was decorated nicely and very quite at night. If you're bringing you own paddle board or kayak it's not a far paddle to the springs. Plus Hunter Springs is a 2 minute drive away and has a nice paddle board/ kayak launch area. There is also a nice selection of restaurants within walking distance of the...

I really appreciated the friendly concierge staff and the spaciousness of the room. What a great deal for a hotel that’s so conveniently located and offers great amenities. I’d love to stay here again on my next visit to Gainesville.

The Lakeside Inn is a place for those who appreciate historical places. Beautiful grounds, pretty lake view, friendly staff, serene, walkable to other town shops, restaurants, and quaint coffee shops/bakeries. Full capacity, but not overwhelming - high end, yet reasonable.

This is a lovely get-away location, with great peeks of wildlife. The buildings are older but well-maintained and clean. Comfortable bed with clean linens. No pretense or paying extra for mediocre amenities. We appreciated the kitchenette and the shared green space courtyard. Nice access to the lake. Quick drive into town for groceries and dining options! This would be a great location for a family reunion, crafter's retreat or gathering for a wedding. Don't just get a block of rooms at a hotel...

I spent a lot of time looking for a room for one night in Mt.Dora area when I came upon Mission Inn and booked it. It was a very nice surprise. The hotel, the front desk staff and the dining facilities were above reproach.
