What guests think

Across many reviews, Holiday Inn Express & Suites Ocala by IHG is praised for very clean, modern spaces, friendly and attentive staff, a satisfying hot breakfast, and a convenient location near I-75 and nearby dining options.

However, several guests noted highway noise in rooms facing I-75 and recommended requesting a room on the opposite side. Rooms are generally spacious and comfortable with strong showers and blackout shades, though a few found the beds too soft or uncomfortable. Some guests also reported occasional front-desk issues, rigid policies, or higher-than-expected prices. A practical, dependable stay for travelers passing through.

Pleased with everything. Very clean/tidy without the smell of strong cleaning products. Rooms spacious and clean and well equipped. Breakfast was quick and easy before starting the day. Quiet at night. Mattress comfortable. Coffee maker/micro/fridge in room. Computers/printers/work area available. Pool area near and clean (did not use this visit). Gym more than adequate for some extra activity. Hotel within 1 mile of the major highways. Many options for dining (chains - but if you venture a little out can find some better places) Easy checkout. Would definitely stay again. Stayed from 3/11-3/15

No complaints. Quick and easy check-in. Clean room. Good comp breakfast. Nice amenities. If you are a light sleeper, ask for a room not facing I-75. It wasn't an issue for me but you do notice.

We are definitely coming back and staying at this Holidayin from IHG. Great location is great, super clean, rooms are spacious the staff is very helpful. Jessy was super professional and very helpful. She went above and beyond to help us find a restaurant open on 4th of July night. Jessy gave us different ideas. Vianela\'s breakfast was so good. She\'s so helpful. She checked on us to make sure we had everything need. House keep was very caring, they made sure we had a clean room, towels and more. My 7 year old said " mommy can we stay here next time" ?. The pool is great. Definitely coming back. We did 5 nights.

We had a great stay overall (4 nights total). Super clean, safe, and new. No moldy hotel smell at this place! Staff was alert, regularly checking to make sure we had everything we needed. A manager who actually knows how to manage (a rarity these days!) changed our room when I mentioned the highway noise, they even prepared Grab-and-Go bags for the swimmers who leave for early practice, before breakfast opens. I overheard the staff, on several occasions, asking one another if they needed help—only employees who are contented with their job and who are managed well do that. Every part of the hotel was impeccable, including the bathroom. Oh, and there is good and fresh coffee at all times! The only downside for us was the highway noise in our first room facing I-75. The second room was better though. The investors should have spent more money and used better windows for noise cancellation. The hotel itself was very quiet, with guests being respectful of others. Overall, really nice stay, thanks to attentive staff and manager. As an Express, it exceeded our expectations.

Had a great 1 night stay. Carol from the front desk was very helpful in the early AM, since breakfast was not served until 7am on weekends. She got us to-go bags which included 1-muffin 1-yogurt 1-banana plus utensils and napkins. She also filled my daughter’s water bottle with ice. Will stay here again.

No places to eat within walking distance. After being in the car for hours traveling we did not want to have to drive somewhere to eat. Options are close but you have to drive across the interstate. Good price for hotel and excellent breakfast included so it’s a trade off.

The included breakfast was well pretty bad. Hotel eggs are never good so I get it. Stick with coffee, danish and a banana and you’re good. All else was excellent. Needed an additional pillow and blanket because it got to below freezing. No extra blankets but we did get an extra pillow and quickly. Thank you.
