OYO Hotel Ocala, FL I-75

The staff was very friendly. The bed was comfortable. The room was clean.

There was no sign outside saying oyo. The sign said economy Inn. our room looked nothing like any of the pictures. It was obviously a very old room. it was very hot in the room when we got there, and it had a window unit, which thank God, worked . there was no chair in our room, just some old coffee table.

Not a good stay.not best area,bugs in room,

Having stayed at other OYO hotels I assumed that this franchise was as superior. Noth the answers I or presentation that I was expecting. Extremely deceptive, once they have possession of your credit card information, you are stuck for the duration. Initially there was no signage affront the building; therefore, it was extremely hard to find. The location was at I-75, but within the "hood" for better sakes. Coincidentally, I had my firearm with me. Upon arrival, the receptionist/desk clerk was kind and assigned me a room that was a bit of a walk with a bad back. The room was smelly, and the wall air conditioning unit was hard to read and to operate. The bathroom had a tub with no safety features, there was no place to hang my clothes, and the towels were stacked on a couch. Needless to say, no television the first night. The ice machine was at the other end of the building, and I was greeted frequently with the presence of "Hood rats" affront my door and in the parking lot. The ice machine DID NOT work on Saturday evening. I questioned the owner who was watering a garden at the endo of the hallway and his response was "You will have to wait". Upon reporting the ice issue at the front desk, I was told that there was no ice on the premise. As the manager was residing at this location, I kindly asked for ice from his refrigerator. His response was that he "didn't have any ice". I forewarned the manager to "look out for my review". Do NOT stay at this DUMP.
