I live in Ocala and needed a hotel that had something different to offer for a friend's wedding night. This hotel was selected because of availability and uniqueness. I wouldn't say it's the absolute swankiest hotel in Florida...............because it isn't. It is a hotel for individuals that want to step back in time without having to visit a place that... more

I would never recommend this hotel. Besides it being unkept it was actually frightening to stay alone. The over all feel of the place is dark and gloomy and no one is to be found at night once the lounge closes down. I got up early one morning around 7am, looking for coffee (none to be found) and I was... more

This is by far the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. We were invited to a wedding that was held here so we booked a room for convenience. Our room was old, dirty, outdated and smelled like urine. We decided we would try to get thru one night with the smell. I was woke up in the middle of... more

My fiance and I stayed here on my birthday last year while we were looking for a place for our wedding. While yes, the rooms have older furniture and some of the decor is especially cheesy, we loved it so much that we decided to have our wedding here. The tile is old and the counters could use some updating,... more

Although a non smoking hotel now, there is so much residual stale cigarette odor from previous tenents (a drug rehab program I was told) that this is not the location for a nonsmoker looking for a room free of tobacco smoke odor. For this reason I am unable to return here. The problem is worse in the hallways but extends... more

As I drove up to the Ritz, I expected to see pink flamingos (there were none). The stucco-like outside was reminiscent of a Mexican villa, and the rooms full of left-over furniture and kitsch had a run-down charm, if you're into that sort of thing. The bed was no more uncomfortable than other cheap motel beds. The nightmare began when... more

I was thinking of booking this Inn again but I remembered how every night ( I stayed for 3 nights on business) there was very annoying LOUD music from the lounge during the week. I was pretty much their only customer staying there & they couldn't move to a room futher from the noise nor did I receive a discount... more

I had made a reservation here as a get away for my wife and I to celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary. I should have read some reviews first. When we first arrived, I noticed some lacking in attention to detail with regard to maintenance, but I let it go, as upkeep on a historic place is an ongoing thing. It... more

I'm an architect and try to enjoy the experience of a historic hotel or motel where ever I can. I had read the previous reviews on this page, but needed a place to stay for a 4 day business trip. I emailed them directly to get a response from them about some of the comments on TripAdvisor and was satisfied... more
