One star because the sheets were clean and the staff were friendly. If we weren't so exhausted from the drive, I would have left the moment we saw the (WAY overpriced) room. This should actually be a Motel 6 and not allowed to carry the Hilton name. The carpets were filthy, there were cobwebs and what looked like grass clippings splayed on the curtain valance. No money has been spent on this property - clearly, and they're just milking it for every cent from the horse community. Cold/lukewarm shower with ZERO water pressure. It took me a good 5 minutes to get my shampoo rinsed out. A baby roach crawled out of the sink hole when I turned on water to brush my teeth. No amenities except a well worn packet that said "makeup remover" (LOL I'm not putting that on my face!!!) and the Hilton "Zero" refillable shampoo, conditioner, and body wash that no one uses...unless they're desperate. I'm not expecting L'occitane, but I'm not touching that... The WORST PART that they don't tell you - you're feet from the interstate with a SECOND service road used by 18 wheelers racing through the night, mere steps away from where you're trying to sleep. This place was a nightmare. Breakfast included rotten bananas, and nothing looked clean or fresh. So, I went to Publix to buy breakfast. Filthy, no sleep, and twice the price of a beachfront Hilton...go ANYWHERE else. read more

Hampton Inn & Suites Ocala - I-75 is the road ABOVE the 18-wheeler. The Mack truck is maybe 50 feet from our window. I should have done my research!!!!! ‍ - Hotels Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Very clean rooms. Its right off 75 so perfect on your way up north of down south. Pet friendly. The only issue I have is the walls are thin and you can hear talking next door and the highway traffic- but they give you earplugs! I'll take that noise day over cleanliness issues. Although it's wild to hear my neighbor az I write this clearing his throat, lol! read more

Hampton Inn & Suites Ocala - Hotels Near Me - Ocala, Florida

The hotel is on I-75. One side is quiet the other almost impossible to sleep. For many years I have been able to successfully request a room on the quiet side. Starting this year over 1/3 of my bi- monthly visits have had my room moved to the freeway side. Don't trust the app and time to find a different hotel where I and my employees can get some sleep read more

I canceled my room more then 3 days in advance and I was charged for room. I contacted the manager informing her that I have gold status and I stay in Hilton properties over 50 times a year. The manager Susan Perkins denied my request. As a loyal Hilton customer, I have always appreciated the flexibility and understanding that the brand has shown its members. However, it is disheartening to learn that in this instance, over a charge of $234, there seems to be no room for flexibility. This decision seems to undermine the loyalty that Hilton has built with its customers over the years. Such rigidity can tarnish the Hilton brand and potentially erode customer loyalty, which I believe is far more valuable than the monetary amount in question. read more

This day was not as good as the previous times I've stayed here. Don't think they clean my room as good as they did. They're supposed to one of the beds had hair in it. One of the towels had hair on it. I didn't really late to switch it, but not up to the standard this time. read more

The breakfast bar is supposed to be open and stocked from 0630 to 0930. It was not and when mentioned that the pancake batter, eggs, etc were empty the service person was upset and rolled her eyes at me and my children. The rooms are okay but very dated and even the closet door did work. Most like old and people probably just never cleaned the tracks. The gentleman who helped us check in last night (because the digital key wouldn't load) was very pleasant and helpful. Probably the only redeeming thing at this location other than the pool was nice. read more

Security was a concern, function of town crime? Microwave not functioning. Arrived late and still dealt with hassle that was unnecessary I have stayed at better . read more

My wife and I stayed there on multiple occasions while we were attending a new job site start up. We had a small dog with us and that was not a problem. The staff made sure we enjoyed our time there. We even had to change rooms once to go to the top floor because the people on our floor were having parties every night of the week and I go to work prior to 6 AM every morning. The staff was beyond accommodating. The morning breakfast was fantastic. Our little Chihuahua love the eggs. They were not instant. The bacon was really good. The sausage was very tasty and the 24 hour coffee bar really made getting up early as hell more enjoyable. There's a reason I prefer Hilton properties read more

I let hubs take the reins with planning this stay. We had an appointment the following day to meet with a realtor and explore homes. Hubs is the Hilton expert since he does jobs on many of their properties. We usually look for hotels that are pet friendly, are clean, preferably have breakfast included, reasonably priced, and close to whatever destination we are visiting. Neither of us have been to Ocala so we actually had no inclination about the surrounding area. We checked in late at night, due to working earlier in the day. The check in process took longer than usual but at least it happened. As soon as you walk in, the lobby was very nice looking and clean. Too many hotel lobbies look like garbage so this was nice. The room was nice as well. Like most places we stay at, we are just looking for a place to sleep and shower. I shower at night so I did just that and simply because I hate rushing in the morning. The shower was great. The pressure was good, the water was warm, and I did not recall noticing mold anywhere. The breakfast was kind of sad. We did show up about an hour before it ended but there was not much left and there were not many refills. We had a long day ahead of us and we were able to have enough to get us through. We requested a later check out since our realtor could not meet us until later in the afternoon. We were granted until noon, which was very much appreciated. Another plus is we were not bothered repeatedly by housekeeping. Our dog barks when someone is knocking at the door, naturally, so we prefer when that happens at a minimum or not at all. We packed up and decided to explore. I would stay here again if I had to but now we live in Ocala! read more

BEWARE Pooping Santa!!! lol No really read on..... This is our second time staying here when traveling in Ocala. First time was better. 5 star but this time, we are on the 3rd floor. It stinks really bad and then it smells like they have tried to cover the odor with a sickening sweet candy or fruity odor. Luckily our room does not smell like the hall. When getting coffee this morning down in the lobby, we discovered a plastic poster on the bathroom door in the hall of Santa with his pants sitting on a toilet! Wow that's pretty gauche! We got a good chuckle but seriously!!??!??? I'll attach a photo so you can set your eyes on this poster! Coffee here is better than what they had at Denny's. No room service available unless you stay for over a week. Was woken up at 7:30 am by lawn people weed eating and a dog barking in an adjacent room. Bummer :( read more

Arrived during a really bad storm which the staff assured us was pretty normal this time of year. Seriously - the lightening felt like it was within 20 ft of the hotel and the rain was coming down hard! Checkin was super easy - i have the app but stopped in and said hi. Staff was very nice! Room was sparkling clean and the desk in the room was great as i needed to work when i arrived. Bathroom Was clean and had plenty of room. read more

Hampton Inn & Suites Ocala - Dining area - Hotels Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Clean room! And in the days of no maid service unless you ask or stay a week, this location cleaned every day! What a pleasure. I was there for a seminar being held in the meeting room and it was clean and comfortable. I will be returning there in a couple of months for part two of the seminar and am looking forward to it! The front desk staff and food service staff were ABOVE exceptional. Always with a smile and instead of pointing to where you needed to go, they walked me there. The only other place I've gotten this service is at a Ritz Carlton (it's their policy). The price was fair and they even gave me a late checkout since I had a late afternoon flight. Thank you!!!! read more

Hampton Inn & Suites Ocala - My seal of approval! - Hotels Near Me - Ocala, Florida

the carpet in our room is filthy! Suggest you carefully inspect for bed bugs. The front desk, housekeeper, kitchen staff all very nice, but the manager is horrible, everyone is clearly afraid of her and admit they have not received proper training. The hotel also has very few amenities, poor parking, no electric charging station. The WORST Hilton I have ever seen. Signs everywhere No Trailer Parking but 6 trailers in the lot right now. Parking Passes Required but there are none available. Again, manager not doing her job! read more

i had reservations for 2 rooms for 1 night.i had to travel 400 miles to this hotel and was breaking my travel into two days.at 5 am on the travel day 20 miles into the trip a drunk hit us on the interstate totaling our van.after calling for family to come and get us,i called to cancel our reservations and explained our vehicle had been totaled and our trip was off,the front desk said they understood and cancelled and would refund to our credit card.1 month later the charges were still there and when we called the front desk said susan perkins would not cancel. read more

The traffic noise from the highway is awful. Don't stay here if you want to sleep. The staff was nice and the room was clean.

The staff is SO friendly. They genuinely care about your stay and whether your needs are being met. Very clean. Updated rooms. Comfortable. The bed was perfect (not too soft). I enjoyed my stay very much. Breakfast was very good. I only wish there was a little bar or restaurant to relax in. That would have made my stay 6 stars!!!! read more

The location of the property next to the road made this very loud all through the night. There was also construction downstairs in the lobby during my stay in September 2023. Wasn't my favorite. read more

I stay here frequently, so this is not based on one visit. From check-in to check out, this hotel delivers the goods. Reasonably priced, clean and recently renovated. The lobby area is extremely large with four or five TVs. In the evening there are cookies and lemonade out for guests. There are hot tea and coffee containers out 24/7. Rooms are always clean and smell fresh. When I once came across a room I was displeased with, I was switched within 3 minutes, such a pleasure after a long day. Breakfast is the standard Hampton faire, with eggs, toast, waffles, juice, oatmeal and all sorts of extras. Really really feel comfortable here. read more

Hampton Inn & Suites Ocala - Renovated shower area - Hotels Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Last time I visited my parents I stayed here at the Hampton Inn (my brother had already claimed the spare bedroom at my parent's house) and was pleasantly surprised by some of the 'little things'. First off, check in was quick and easy. The desk person, whose name escapes me, was very pleasant and over the course of my stay the front desk folks greeted us nicely each time we entered or left the hotel. My room was a single king with a nice sized refrigerator and I was actually quite happy with the bed and pillows (I've been at other Hamptons that needed new bedding). The size of the bathroom was perfectly fine for what I needed, but I happen to be a stickler for strong water pressure in a hotel and this place didn't have it. Towels were plentiful and the toiletries were stocked daily when they cleaned the room. Also a HUGE fan of the television actually having a channel guide on it so I didn't have to flip through all the channels to see what was on TV. I also had zero problems with the Wi-Fi Breakfast was your Hampton Inn standard...not a fan of most hotel breakfasts unless they are a regular restaurant - so we went out for breakfast while we were there. This hotel is perfectly acceptable for your normal "I need to stay someplace" kind of visit. I've had the opportunity to stay in some really great hotels over the years so getting four stars out of me for a local place like this is next to impossible, but three stars for me is as good as "I'd definitelystay here again"! read more

Great service, clean and comfortable. My only issue with this particular hotel was the flooring. Every time I moved around the room it sounded like I had cement boots on. It was so loud! I know it wasnt just me. I could hear the person above and next to me moving around the room. Everything else was great from check in to check out. Look forward to staying here again. read more

I decided to stay here after sitting in traffic on 75 for 3 hours to go 6 miles due to an accident. I was moving back down to Tampa from Atlanta and had my kitties with me and we'd been driving for 8 hours already. To say I was stressed out is an understatement. I get here and there's so many kids in for a baseball event in town. Running and jumping and stomping, I knew the second floor room was only going to make me more irritated. I asked and they were happy to put me on the top floor far away from all the commotion. The GM was there and even hooked me up with a complimentary bottle of wine! The staff has been extremely patient, accommodating and helpful. As someone who has traveled extensively for work, I've stayed at some awesome places and not so awesome places and I can say that I highly recommend staying here! read more

The hotel is emaculate. The staff is Very helpful. The breakfast is one of the best for hampton.

The consistent expectations of staying here have been met. I would put this one on the higher end of the many Hampton inn and suites locations. Larger lobby and breakfast area. Newer upgraded rooms. Great location right off of freeway and next to many spots to eat and such within walking distance. Rooms were set up for new arrivals better then any other recent stays in other locations. They even had the classic mint left to greet me. Nice touch. Gentleman that checked me up was extremely professional and friendly. Bravo. Only con is I wished this location used digital key. read more

If this is the No. 1 rated hotel in Ocala on Tripadvisor, I don't even want to know how bad the other hotels are. 1. If you do not like noise, avoid this hotel. We could hear the people walking in the room upstairs above us and it sounded like a T-Rex was walking up there. This went on any time the people upstairs were in the room. The next morning we could hear the maid slamming down the toilet seat in the bathroom upstairs and the sound of her vacuuming upstairs. It sounded like an earthquake. The lack of soundproofing at this hotel at this price point is inexcusable. 2. The rooms are very small. If you are accustomed to staying in an "all suites" hotel like Staybridge or Residence Inn, you will not like these rooms. They are basically the size of a normal hotel room and have furniture jam-packed in a stupid layout all over the place. If you have more than two people in your party you will feel claustrophobic. The bathroom is also very small/narrow and so is the shower. The showerhead was weak crap. 3. There is no kitchen in these rooms. Just a counter with a sink and a dorm size fridge. 4. The sofa bed is an atrocity to sleep in. I have neck and back pains three days later. 5. The bath towels are thin, horrible quality. 6. There is no ice machine on the first floor. Basically if you stay on the first floor expect a lot of noise from upstairs and the doors and hallways, and also expect to have to go upstairs to get ice. 7. The only positives of this hotel are: it looks relatively new or newly renovated, the staff were nice, it has a big lobby with trendy décor, if you are into that sort of thing. The breakfast was standard Hampton Inn fare. Also I do have to say the hotel is very clean. 8. The Wifi here was impossible to use. If you are expecting to use Wifi, STAY ELSEWHERE. I have a brand new iPad and the Wifi was so slow I couldn't stream Netflix or even check email. Overall: It is way too noisy and the rooms are way too small and uncomfortable for the price. read more

Very nice facility, even offering a "Lovebug Removal" station. The coffee was always hot and the breakfast always fresh. Nice fitness facility and located near all sorts of restaurants. read more

Hampton Inn & Suites Ocala - Ear plugs. - Hotels Near Me - Ocala, Florida

Front desk (Bobby, I think) was aloof and short at check in. Our first room had chips in the sheets in the pull out couch. Angry Bobby moved us to room 407, it was clean/fine. When we checked out the next day, same Bobby was still working the front desk. He did not offer to print a receipt, rather just said, "okay". I later called for an emailed receipt and realize we were charged a "pet fee" -- we don't own a pet. I will call re: this... read more

Room was Super Clean. Don't know how they got this torch award, coming off from a long drive, Jerry at the front desk was already frustrated with whoever he was on the phone was from from pleasant. Too many other options to deal with the heel behind the counter. I like to feel like my business is appreciated. read more

The whole staff from front desk to housekeeping is very friendly and makes me feel like I am at home away from home. I am here for two weeks for work and have not had a problem at all. Bed and pillows are very comfy. Hotel staff is always cleaning. Pool and small gym are also a plus. Breakfast is the best and always fresh. Highly recommend this place if you need to stop in Ocala read more

Stayed a week here and the entire staff were all great! David King was always very helpful! Would definitely reccomend this Hampton Inn! Thanks for the wonderful hospitality!! Really enjoyed my entire time there. read more

Overall, the hotel is nice. My room was a single king bed. I had a dorm size refrigerator, which worked fine. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The room was nicely cleaned daily. The breakfast is a step up from a Holiday Inn Express breakfast. The dining/common area was nice as well, although I would prefer less soft seating as you sink into the cushions and it is an uncomfortable eating position. Now why only three stars? Noise level. If you are okay with traffic noise from the highway, then bump this to a 4-star, if you hate traffic noise, this could drop to a two star. I am right in the middle and rarely do I wake up from traffic noise. They know the highway is a problem because they put ear plugs in the room for you to use. Earplugs do not work well for me. I typically bring a sound machine or use a sound machine app on my phone, so I managed and would return. I guess my other minor issue is the night auditor was no where to be found at 3:34 am when I needed to check out, but I can get my receipt on line, so not a huge issue. read more

It is clean, breakfast is good and we will continue to stay in the future. Thank you Hampton Inn and staff! Peter M. read more
