Equus Inn Ocala
Nice, clean well cared for hotel. Room decor was spectacular, modern but horse country look. I appreciated that. I felt completely safe here and the outdoor seating with fireplace and waterfall were very intimate. Only complaint was the streaming tv channels which kept freezing up. I like to watch ...
