Love the unique equestrian themed rooms. Wish there was lights that dimmed, the intense bright white LEDs in the room are too much. Water pressure is weak. Stayed here twice because the price is great and rooms are clean.

The location, hotel and amenities were very nice. As far as enjoying the outside and pool area, it was terrible. There were four little league teams (ages 6-8 years old) and their families staying at The Equus Inn in Ocala, FL, the same days as our reservation. They pretty much monopolized the outdoor grassy area by our hotel room & door, as well as the pool near our room also. Thankfully, when they had ball games on Friday & Saturday afternoons, we were able to enjoy the pool for a few hours. When they returned at about 4:30-5:30, the area was overrun by the children and adults until after the 10 p.m. quiet hour curfew. It was well past this the 3 nights we stayed (6/5-6/7/2025). Had we been informed of these circumstances, our reservations would have been elsewhere. In our opinion, we should have been offered a discount for the hotel reservation. Because we went through the 3rd party, Hotels.com, this was not an option. Hindsight is always 20-20, yet we could have stayed at another hotel for much less than thr Equus Inn. We paid $165+ for 3 nights! Needless to say, we will do not plan on staying there again.

Amazing Place! Best choice for beach trip. House was found clean, dining and lunch places were walking-distance, and beach access perfectly accessible. Kitchen, rooms and bathroom had everything expected. The apartments feel really safe and they’re quiet, perfect for a relaxing vacation. Host was incredible too! She responded quickly for any questions we had!
