Adequate only

The room was very clean, but not special in any way. There was a desk and chair at the end of a long bureau which seemed stuck in there awkwardly -- too close to the television to watch it form the desk, and forcing the user's back to be turned towards the room. The continental breakfast was a bit more than that, including biscuits and gravy, and eggs.

I ate at an Italian restaurant called Carrabas which had very large portions and was quite busy for a Wednesday evening. Wednesday is wine night; any bottle is discounted $10.

It was okay

The front desk staff was great. They met our needs when we asked to change rooms to accomodate an additional guest. The rooms were fine, but the bathrooms were really small and the bathroom door opened in an awkward place. The TV volume had a life of its own. The parking lot was not large enough to accomodate all of the guests. In fairness, it was a busy weekend, but it is by the interstate so I would think they are busy often. I happen to like staying where animals are not allowed, but saw a couple sneak 2 dogs up the staircase. Other than that, the hotel appeared clean. We didn't spend much time at the hotel, so a bed, bath and morning coffee were really what we needed and that we did get. If that's what you need, then it will do.

Nice hotel, good price

We needed a place for one night as we drove from Atlanta to Miami. This was convenient, fair priced and clean. Everyone working there was extremely polite and the breakfast was also good.

Wonderful place to stay!

My family and I stayed 2 nights over Thanksgiving weekend and had a great time. We had a 1 bdrm king suite, and it proved to be just the right size for my husband & I and our three young adult children. We arrived late Thursday night and had no problem checking in. We helped ourselves to the hot cocoa, coffee and cookies in the lobby. We really enjoyed the indoor pool and hot tub that stayed open until 12AM and opened at 6AM in the morning. The free breakfast was wonderful and included eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy and waffles you make yourself. The only problem we had was the TV in the bdrm wasn't working the first night, but to our surprise, the manager himself brought a working TV the next morning. We will stay here again! Thank you, to all the staff for making this a wonderful stay!

pleasant stay on Ocala, FL

Country Inn & Suites has an easy location near I-75. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The guest dryer was broken. The people at the front desk dried our laundry and folded it for us! Thanks, Hector. Cookies and coffee or tea are available 24/7. The pool is beautiful and indoors which was important since the outdoor temps were cool for Florida this February. We had a very nice breakfast each morning. We enjoyed our stay and would stay there again.

Ocala the rainy city

Quiet hotel. TV broke reported broken TV before 7 AM returned to room at 8 PM TV was not fixed. Staff said that they did not know that it was broken. I probably will not stay at this hotel again because of the TV issue. I expect hotel staff to listen and take the necessary action. Hotel rooms are starting to show signs of wear and starting to collect mold in wear spots bath tub etc.

we really enjoyed the experience

Our vacation was awesome,The hotel was really nice. The only problem with it was the way we had to keep going pass the hotel and turn around to get into the parking lot when we were not coming from the highway. Staff were wonderful friendly and very helpful. The hot tub was not in use and the pool felt a little cool even though they said the heater was on.
