From the moment you arrive, staff is exceptionally helpful and friendly. Thomas C. went out of his way to assist us with a booking issue we experienced. Every member we encountered was happy, helpful and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. One of the best experiences EVER! Many thanks and we are looking forward to the next stay.

Beautiful property. The hotel and rooms are wonderful. The front desk staff, cleaning staff and doormen are exceptional. The bartenders at the Yellow Pony are my only compliant. They are over staffed and provide slow inefficient service. I have been there many times and always leave feeling like they were annoyed to serve people and interrupt their behind the bar conversation and side work. Definitely do not go there the last hour or two before they close because you will be lucky to get a food or a drink. They will be more concerned about emptying the ice bin and cleaning the service bar. Beyond the Yellow Pony bar staff this is an exceptional property. They should just rethink there bartending staff and do a bit of a up grade to people that actually like to bartend.

Great 4-star property. Best hotel in the area of Ocala and Gainesville, FL. Our only issue is their on-site restaurants. They aren't up to the same standards as their property. The Stirrups restaurant (their fine dining restaurant) is usually understaffed and they DO NOT answer phones for reservations but rely on leaving messages for a return call. This allows for less staffing. This was a problem with the hotel staff at check-in who couldn't make a dining reservation for us due to no person to answer the call. The restaurant menus were very simple, lacking in interesting selections and fresh seafood. We love Emma's pastry shop. Great example of a well-managed shop with great breakfast selections. Best on-premises. We now eat in Gainesville or Ocala before we return to the property. Great hotel otherwise.
