Motel 6 Ocala, FL - Conference Center
The room was clean. The staff was courteous but when it came time to check out the lobby was locked and there was a sign on the window stating that the staff would be back in 10 minutes. Seen bathroom door open so we knew they heard the bell rung several times and still they didnt answer it.

Super 8 by Wyndham Ocala I-75
The staff was outstanding. They were very welcoming. The room was aged but very clean and inviting. I was able to parking right in front of my room and felt very safe. The hotel is very conveniently right off highway 75, but was very quiet no highway noise.
