What guests think

At Red Roof Inn Ocala, travelers consistently note friendly staff, budget-friendly rates, and generally clean rooms in a convenient location just off I‑75, while recurring drawbacks include worn mattresses, musty odors, intermittent hot-water issues, and the absence of breakfast.

Noise from traffic or neighboring rooms and occasional cleanliness or pest issues also appear across reviews, alongside maintenance lapses like loose fixtures and weak water pressure. A small, clean pool and pet-friendly policies are positives, though Wi‑Fi reliability and parking availability vary. Overall, expect a basic, no‑frills stay with trade‑offs.

We made a good choice with this hotel for our 3 night stay. Staff was friendly. Exterior, lobby and rooms were clean and quiet. Beds were comfortable. In - room jacuzzi tub was great. Parking was sufficient but spaces had to be tight to give everyone a spot. Surrounding area appeared to be safe. There were a half dozen reasonably priced restaurants within a 5 minute drive. The negatives were minimal: showerhead water pressure was pretty bad and ice machines couldn't meet demand.

Alright,... The security aside, The front desk staff is generally cool with me. The rooms are clean. The pool is attended to. You have some expected maintenance upcoming, for the most part in the bathrooms,... Exhaust fans , bathtub drains and shower curtain mounts. Oh and you might want to address updating 3rd lock on the top of the Guests room doors.

Had an unexpected stop in Ocala and just booked something close to interstate and it was a pleasant stay. Comfy beds, AC got room cooold, which was amazing to me. (It's my biggest complaints about most hotels) quick and convenient on and off to I-75 and location is a quiet area. If ever in the area again, this is the hotel I would choose again.

Nice room. It was very clean, but our biggest complaint was the bed, which could've used a new mattress! Not as bad as we thought it was going to be for sleeping, but was definitely pretty well used. A little lumpy - had some "depressions" in it and a few springs here and there that hit you in the wrong places! Took a bit of effort to get comfortable, but once we each found the right spot, we slept pretty well.

The staff was great. I cannot blame them at all. They were very helpful. However, fire alarms went off at around midnight, it was the third time that day. I'm traveling with small children, I take no chances. Spent about an hour outside waiting for them to go off along with a bunch of other Hotel guests who ended up leaving at that time. I expected to be compensated with some kind of discount for my stay. I have been in a hotel before where fire alarms went off through the night and I did not even have to ask, they just refunded my night. I understand that the staff cannot control the alarms, but the hotel needs to be responsible for making sure guests have a pleasant experience during their stay... its basic customer service, Especially when the alarms were triggered by people smoking inside their room... At least that's what we were told us upon checking out. I spoke to the lady at the counter who took my info so the manager could give me a call. The lady was very pleasant and very professional. It has been over a week and I'm still waiting for the manager to call me. They told me they could not refund my money because I had booked through orbitz. I understand the while 3rd party booking thing. Again, it's been over a week and I'm still waiting for the manager to call me.

Staff at the front desk not friendly at check in. Gave us a room that was in the process of being cleaned. Had to go back to the front desk and let them know the room was not ready. The room that they gave us, while clean, half of the light bulbs were burnt out, toilet seat was only secured by one bolt, security chain on the door was not secure, Bath tub was nasty. All outside trash cans were over flowing with trash. The experience was very disappointing. However, i stayed at this same hotel only a week before and would have repeated a previous 5 star rating. Someone, was having a bad day. There seems to be a lack of security there at night also room maintenance seems to be lacking. Someone need to turn this place around.

I also like that they have hardwood floors in the rooms, feels a lot cleaner.

I stayed here for one night and unfortunately I forgot my gold earrings in the restroom. I called the receptionist and asked her several times to check because I left them just one day prior there and were a memory from my mother. She told me she would check and call back never called me and told me they weren’t there. They stole my earrings and were totally unresponsive and rude! Never will stay there anymore I am so disappointed!

Location is very good. Close to I-75. Convenient for a few hours of sleep and rest. The hotel is old and needs TLC. It had mold or smoke on the ceiling and some holes in the walls. The paint needs to be refreshed in some areas. The towels and bedding sheets were clean and there was soap and shampoo in the bathroom. Overall It served the purpose for resting a few hours in order to continue hour road trip. That’s what we needed.
