"We stayed at La Quinta Inn & Suites Ocala from March 5–8, 2026 for the FLAGs North swim meet and were extremely disappointed. We chose this hotel for the location and price, but the conditions were far below acceptable. When we arrived, three police cars were outside. The lobby looked nice, but the elevator was run down, smelly, and dirty. The fifth floor smelled musky and hot, with filthy baseboards and grimy window sills. Our room (516) had tissue stuffed in the peephole, light leaking around the door, and a strong animal-like odor. The bathroom was dirty, with peeling paint, a leaking sink, and grime in the tub. We were given only two towels for a family of four, and the dresser drawers were sticky with items left from a previous guest. Several outlets were broken. Housekeeping never came once during our three-night stay—no fresh towels, no bedding changes, nothing. The pool area was also in poor condition, with bugs, dirt, and leaves in the pool and jacuzzi. The sidewalks were cracked, the jacuzzi wasn’t hot, and our kids came out dirtier than when they went in. The carpet in our room was so dirty that our kids’ legs turned black from playing on the floor. Breakfast was edible, but I found hair in the gravy, which raised more concerns about cleanliness. We understand this is a budget hotel, but the lack of cleanliness, maintenance, and basic service made this stay unacceptable. We will not return and cannot recommend this property."

"Beautiful property"

"The first room they gave us wasn't the one I requested; the sheets were stained, and there were ashes of someone who had smoked. Then I called reception, and they changed my room, but when I got to the second one, it wasn't clean either; housekeeping had cleaned it. The third room was more or less decent. The hallways were dirty, and the facilities didn't look like the photos (especially the lobby). And the worst part was that we had to call the front desk to get our door opened because the key cards didn't work. The only good thing was the a/c very strong."

"Clean, great location. No towels at the pool called desk for some as already in the pool never brought any out so walked through hotel to room soaking wet. "

"The pool closes at dark. It should stay open later than that. Other than that we had a great stay. "

"When we checked in the lady at the front desk was extremely nice. Got to the room, it smelled like smoke and musky. Some towels smelled, other looked dirty, the kitchen had ants all of the counter, the bathroom had no shower curtain. Breakfast was held in a 2x4 room, with maybe 4 tables and a small amount of chairs so basically forcing you to eat in your room. Only food provided was muffins, bagels, waffles banana, cereal and yogurts. The neighborhood was definitely not the cleanest and definitely looked like a sketchy area making it feel unsafe and uncomfortable. "

"Bring your own bedding. One bed had a fitted sheet and a paper thin blanket. Staff was able to find a top sheet but there weren't any blankets. The rest of the stay was nice."

"The room was modern and nice enough, but not very clean. Dirt and spills on floor, hair here and there, and one of the glasses provided was dirty."

"its obviously a 40-50 year old building. the interiors of the rooms have been redone very well. parking lot redo looks very nice, until it rains, and water has no place to go near the building. breakfast offering somewhat lacking considering the room price we paid."
