What guests think

At Sleep Inn & Suites Ocala, guests report a budget-friendly, older property with generally clean, quiet rooms and friendly staff, but recurring maintenance and cleanliness issues, construction disruption, and inconsistent breakfast experiences affect overall consistency.

The location near I-75 and the Don Garlits museum is convenient, with several walkable dining options. Common drawbacks include dated rooms, intermittent AC or hot-water, occasional pests and smoke odors, and a housekeeping schedule that requires requests between services. Facilities feedback is mixed: some note a small, dimly lit parking lot, sporadic pool closures or cleanliness concerns, and broken gym or elevator equipment. Expect a basic stay focused on convenience over polish.

The property desperately needs a face-lift. Shower curtain was torn in several places. Both the bike and treadmill in the gym were broken and there were no towels, and the water machine was empty. It was very convenient getting to the concert we were in town for.

THE BATHROOM AND LINENS WERE CLEAN, BUT THE BATHROOM TILE WAS DIRTY. THE PARKING LOT FELT UNSAFE. I WITNESSED SOMEONE DOING DRUGS IN THEIR CAR. THERE WAS ONLY ONE PERSON WORKING THE FRONT DESK AND SEEMED VERY STRESSED AND OVERWORKED. THE FACILITY SEEMED FULLY BOOKED AS THE PARKING LOT WAS VERY CROWDED WITH HARDLY ANY PARKING SPOTS LEFT. SEVERAL HUGE ELECTRICAL TRUCKS WERE TAKING UP A LOT OF SPACES. JUST DIDN'T SEEM SAFE AND THE LIGHTING IN THE PARKING LOT NEEDS IMPROVEMENT. NOT SURE I WILL RETURN. I WAS THERE FOR A HORSE SHOW AND HAD TO LEAVE AT 6AM, AND I COULDN'T TAKE ADVANTAGE OF BREAKFAST.

Older hotel that is starting renovations. Room was clean. Bed was comfortable. Staff was very friendly at check in. It looked like the pool was closed. You can hear some noise from I75 from our room that was on the parking lot side of the building, but not enough to disturb our sleep. This is our 3nd time staying here. I would stay here again.

At least the staff was friendly. But as the the hotel conditions, eck. We rented two rooms and both carpets were filthy. Beds were clean and comfortable. If that had been it, it would’ve been ok. But in our room, we had 3 little roaches. One was on our room door, one came from under the TV dresser, and one was climbing on the wall. If that bothers you, you might want to go somewhere else.

The staff were wonderful, so it pains me to write a tepid review. The bottom line is that the hotel needs a deep cleaning, badly. It is most apparent when you enter the room. The carpet and furniture have trapped old cigarette smells, even though the hotel is a non-smoking establishment now. That said, the bathroom was clean, the towels were high quality and fluffy, the beds were comfortable, the pool was clean and outfitted with towels, and the breakfast was well organized. Check in and check out were handled efficiently and professionally by the front desk staff. So there’s also a lot to like about the hotel.

One of the elevator buttons was dirty & had what looked like food residue on it. I noticed it every time I used the elevator. Room 206 smelled like smoke when I first arrived and I had to spray perfume to get rid of the smell. The walls are thin enough to hear the person next to your room cough. Other than that, my stay overall was fine.

Had to leave the same time I checked in. Lots of roaches. When we opened the room door 217 just to be specific lots of roaches came out to greet me and my family so fast. We were right back at the front desk for a refund and out of there. That was nasty with roach infestation. Never again. I high don't recommend. Very very terrible.

Floor was not clean, two different mattresses on the beds, one looked like it needed replacement, could hear the highway traffic and cars in the parking lot come & go. Pet fees $25 / pet is a bit high. Room priced a bit high to represent good value for below mid tier hotel. I may have got a total of two hours sleep, not the restful reprieve I was hoping for.

I wanted to check in at 1:30 pm, but rooms were not available. I understand check in was 3pm. This was Thursday. I returned at 4pm and the front desk couldn't find me or something. It turns out I was already checked-in, go figure. Nevertheless, I was given a room which was dirty, and the cleaning staff was still in the room. I had to come back downstairs and get another room. Friday, when I came back to my room in the evening, the room was NOT clean. Saturday, once again, when I came back to my room late afternoon, the room was NOT clean. I brought it up to the front desk attention, they acted surprised. When the staff contacted the cleaning service, the answer was "oops we missed your room" Very unprofessional. I am disappointed and will never stay there again.

Staff moved us from 3rd floor room 307 which was rundown, after adjoining room was smoking cigarettes and smoke permeated our room at 3-5AM every morning for 2 nites, and the 3rd floor smelled pretty bad every time stepped off elevator. Moved to 2nd floor room 216 for 3 more nites much better, like it was in a different hotel newly renovated smelled great and 2nd floor smelled good. We thought maybe we got assigned 3rd floor initially due to booking thru expedia which was $100-80 dollars cheaper. Either way staff did us a solid.
