“This roadside hotel appeals to families and value-conscious travelers with its outdoor pool, mini-golf, and basketball court. I noted its retro design theme, convenient location near I-75, and proximity to Ocala's natural attractions, but reports of cleanliness issues give me pause. For those seeking budget accommodations with recreational options, this could be a fit, provided improvements are made in guest room maintenance.”
