Courtyard by Marriott Ocala

very good

This property is under renovation. In most instances this is a good situation because hotels do need innovation and improvement from time to time. However, in this instance I was not aware that renovations were ongoing. This was mentioned to another guest at check-in. I was in my room around 6:00 the evening I checked in a kept hearing a drill. It would start and stop quickly so I wasn't sure of what I was hearing. I soon realized it was someone working in the room above me. The following morning, around 8:00 the drilling started again only louder. I called the front desk to ask if they could interrupt the drilling for at least an hour or two so I could rest until my morning appointment. I think the person I spoke to was just placating me because the drilling did not stop. When I checked out of the hotel, I suggested they notify guests when construction work would begin and end. I don't get the sense I was taken seriously. I started my day, not well-rested and frazzled.

It was clean and very quiet

Easy access from interstate

The night person working just rude. My key card would not work and she acted bothered that she had to help me open the door. Just made me feel stupid. This definitely wasn’t a first time hotel stay as I travel frequently and never had this issue.

Need to freshen up the landscape Finishing touch

This hotel is littered with roaches and rooms smell musty and damp. Let the front desk know my experience and they couldn’t seem to care a lick no apology or corrective action.

Solid choice at reasonable rate across the street from Cracker Barrell
