Nice facility; very comfortable rooms. Although they don't clean the rooms every day (i.e. make the bed, bring fresh towels, etc) I wish they would at least empty the trash cans every day. There are only two small trash cans in the room, and they were filled by the second day. I had to empty them myself into the outdoor trash container. Either empty every day or use bigger trash cans. Front desk employees were very nice and helpful.

OK For a Night, but...

Staff were friendly and helpful. Lobby and Breakfast area welcoming and clean. The room, however needed updating - perhaps because it was a handicapped accessible room and was on the 1st floor, maybe that was why? Bathroom had no hooks for hanging towel and no storage area for toiletries. Sink needed to be recaulked. Pool was nice. Breakfast ok. I wouldnt go out of my way to stay here.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Equus Inn. The rooms were upgraded and the property was the old style open to the courtyard. The bed was very comfortable, the pillows as well. The room has louvred shutters so you could peek out or have some light without opening draperies. The courtyard has a beautiful pool and gathering area with a fireplace and a fire pit. The rooms, entry and dining area are decorated with black and white horse photos. I appreciated that as I am a horse person. Breakfast was very good with lots of choices and spread out so folks were not on top of each other. The dining area was immaculate. I would definitely stay here again when in the Ocala area.
