8/10 Good
"It was a decent place to stay in Ocala, staff was very friendly and useful. the air conditioner I did not like, as it was set to save energy and it was hot at times. The only way to make it start was waiving your hand so the motion detection would make it start againg. I wasn't able to figure out how to keep it on working"
