Top Discovery Center Hotel Reviews

Hilton Garden Inn Ocala Downtown

8/10 Good

"Read some of the negative reviews about loud music and yes there were earplugs on the nightstand. We didn’t need them Labor Day weekend. Street noise but nothing out of the ordinary. The hotel was very clean as well as the room. We stayed in a balcony king on the 4th floor facing the square. There appeared to be an issue with water on the other balconies and the roofing seemed to be sagging. The hotel parking lot is $24/day. The garage across the street is $14. The hotel had only one disabled parking space and it was never vacant; I think one of the employees parked there. The hotel is in a great location , walking distance to restaurants and coffee shops and I will stay again."

Apartment in the heart of Historic Ocala Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great Stay in Downtown OcalaI enjoyed my stay and would consider staying here again. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. The kitchen had everything needed for a short stay without being overcrowded with gadgets and supplies. I especially appreciated how organized everything was, including the spices, which made it easy to quickly find what I needed. The bed was comfortable and provided a good night's sleep, and the smart TV made it easy to access all of my streaming services.There are a few areas that could be improved. Upon arrival, the coded front door lock did not work consistently the first several times I tried it. After contacting the host, I was advised to try again, and I eventually discovered that pulling the door tightly against the frame reduced friction on the deadbolt and allowed the lock to operate properly. Also, while the location is very close to the downtown square, guests should be aware that crossing a busy road is required to get there. Finally, the living room could benefit from an end table or small side table near the seating area for drinks, phones, or other personal items.Overall, this is a clean, comfortable, and well-located property with a few minor opportunities that, if addressed, would make the experience even better."
