Top hotels in Historic Downtown

Hilton Garden Inn Ocala Downtown
"The rooftop terrace was the highlight of this hotel. Good food, drinks, and live music! Restaurant only open for breakfast until 10 AM. And dinner after 5 PM. Nothing in between. Very clean hotel. Very soft pillows. Very nice staff. No pool. Would stay again for the location & downtown vibe."

The Riding Academy Hotel
"The bed was one of the most uncomfortable beds I have slept on. For the price, I would expect a better bed; which is why I gave a lower rating. The hotel was beautiful. The food was great. The room was nothing special."
