Courtyard by Marriott Ocala

"I always try and stay at a Marriott. I should have sought out the Townplace in Ocala. This place needs updated but that’s with a lot of hotels. The price was not worth what I got and that’s what is disappointing and this was just for a quick overnight work trip. Light by the vanity was so dim, I couldn’t see to put my make up on Pillows were not comfortable, TV or cable stopped working and there wasn’t any water in the gym-the bottle was empty and looked like it had been for an awhile. And for the price, I would have thought breakfast would be included it wasn’t. And I paid less at the Townplace for work last week and it had a full hot breakfast. I will just make different plans for future trips"

"If not for the homeless lot next door, location rating would be much higher. Ownership absolutely takes no pride in their property. $600 for 3 days which I'm more than fine with if the property was not dilapidated. Mold on air supply vents and ceiling in hallway outside of room, broken ceiling tile outside of room, smells, feces on wall in bathroom, dripping of soils on bathroom door, blistering paint on the balconies with huge water pockets and which one water pocket burst and got on my daughter. Marriott, once a beckon of hospitality, strict standards and limited franchisees, shows that it too has succumbed to the franchisee's demands of lax standards like those of "2 star" motels. When we expressed our health, safety and cleaniness concerns to Marriott, they state the property is scheduled for renovation. Renovations? What? Soft goods? The old 1980's Ho Jo hotel needs either be raised or utterly gutted which the later would never happen due to the costs. In closing, shame on you Marriott, Area Manager and Quality Control for allowing this property to remain within the Marriott portfolio. Bill would have never allowed this to happen. In closing, we also stayed at the Fairfield last year. Same ownership and very similar issues."

"I stayed at this location two different days within a week. The first room that I stayed in was a little dated, but was overall clean. The bed was comfortable and everything was quiet. My second stay was on a different floor and the room seemed to be updated a little more. The staff at this location were amazing and very helpful. Our requests for additional towels and pillows were taken care of quickly. The pool and hot tub area were clean and a welcome amenity after a long day of traveling. The jets on the hot tub were not very strong, but the water was nice and hot. The location is great as it is very close to 75 an many restaurants. My only complaint is that signage on the building is not very visible. When driving around trying to find the correct entrance I had a little difficulty finding area C. Other than that a good stay. I would definitely visit again when I am in the Ocala area."

"Customer service staff was wonderful. They greeted us welk and check-in was a breeze. To be honest, I was worried after reading the reviews. However, our room was spotless, linens clean, bathroom perfect. The room was not dated, nor moldy nor smelly. The bed was comfortable and A/C was nice and cold. Next time we are in Ocala, we will stay here again!!"

"The pictures online are deceiving. The room was gross and nowhere near as nice as the photos make it look. The carpet was absolutely disgusting and made our feet black. The tub was dirty. The toilet had permanent stains on the seat. And worst of all it was the loudest hotel I have ever stayed in. The trash came at 2 am and woke us up and at 3 am someone started MOWING THE LAWN next door at the Burger King. This lasted until 5 am. We got no sleep. Who mows the lawn in the middle of the night. Absolutely ridiculous. Do not stay here. Oh and the a/c made a ridiculous loud screeching noise every time it turned off or on and woke our baby up."
