Independent hotels in North Central Florida, Florida

"Beautiful hotel, Beautiful wall of windows!!! 😍😍😍 Very convenient location for our visit to UF. Didn't love the mandatory valet parking, but it was free (but of course I felt like I needed to tip the valet drivers)."

"Great hotel! I recommend it ! "

"Lived up to expectations from other Avid properties we have stayed in. $50 pet fee was a little high... but at last minute there was really no choice but to pay it."

"This was our second time to stay at this hotel. The staff were informative, curtious and helpful. We were very pleased with our stay."

"Love The Equestrian!!! First class!"

"Good customer service "

"This motel is old, but has been refurbished to a delightful degree. The rooms are large and comfortable, with the toilet and shower separate from the vanity, which I prefer. The luxurious shower itself is something you rarely see in a motel of this caliber. The bed is comfortable and properly situated in relation to the rest of the room, and most importantly, the TV. There is a larger than average hotel refrigerator and microwave, and an ice machine conveniently located next to the stairs on both floors. Plenty of personal amenities are provided, and everything in the room works perfectly. A late afternoon wine and beer fountain are provided in the breakfast area, although unfortunately we arrived too late to take advantage of it. There is a restaurant next door very similar to Zaxby's that I was unfamiliar with since there aren't any in Alabama, but it was tasty, convenient and affordable. The breakfast buffet is very good as well, with a variety of hot and cold items. Lastly, the front desk staff are friendly and efficient. We will make sure to stay here from now on every time we stop in Ocala."

"Would recommend if traveling short term. The staff is very friendly, I appreciated a shower without bathtub and the breakfast was included. On the not so positive note, the breakfast buffet could be improved with a bit more food variety. "
