Beautiful new but food options are nonexistent
Stayed here after a Univ of Florida night game - drive was about 45 minutes - arrived at midnight so check in was easy - beautiful brand new hotel - in middle of nowhere - further from I-75 than expected - room was awesome - clean and well furnished - two complaints though (1) we had two queen beds and both my wife and I felt like they slopped to center night table (2) Food options are terrible - I went to get breakfast at 6:30am and 4 people behind counter point me to shelf with a premade sausage biscuit - nothing substantial - and there is nothing nearby - I guess if you go for horses and want to drive to the 1 or 2 small restaurants it is a beautfiul place but we wont be going back since not horse people and not much else to do there.

Had a great stay at The Riding Academy! Came up to Gainesville for a Gator game and this was actually the most affordable place for a one night stay within driving distance of the University. This hotel is gorgeous and reminds me of a Walt Disney World Resort. We had a studio room which was spacious. The whole resort was very clean and you can tell it’s new. Would definitely stay here again when visiting the Ocala area!

Lovely sparkling new property located at the new World Equestrian Center in Ocala. Lots of building going on next door, but no work being done during our stay. This property is large and well appointed in equestrian style. The room was large and comfortable and clean as was the bath room. There were many sitting areas throughout and a nice cafe with a good variety of food and beverage options including delicious looking fresh baked croissants as big as two fists! The exterior was pristine and boasted a gated children’s pool play area next to the large pool.

This is the best pet friendly hotel I have ever stayed in. From the cover to throw over the bed to the ten foot high shower head, this has the amenities for a luxury hotel that allows your pets to stay with you. We did a hurricane evacuation here and were never so happy to spend a night away from home! I can not say enough about the beautiful, quality details in the hardware, huge silent SOLID doors, beautiful windows- this place is pure quality!
