Great venue, cannot obviously be better situated. Rooms are worth the price. Quality, space. Reception staff was very nice. Yellow Poney pub is quite small for the size of the hotel but has fun options for snacks and drinks. Stirrups restaurant (main dining option) had good breakfast. Very nice staff. Dinner however wasn’t to the level of the price - all items were very very salty.

If you visit Ocala this hotel is a must. Stayed for my daughter’s graduation at UF. Gainsville about 25 minute drive, but this hotel is so magnificent it was not to be missed again on our trip to North Florida.
