"Great Midrange Motel"

Traveling across the country, Equus Inn stood out as a well-run, clean, quiet, comfortable property. My second visit here. Well-maintained facilities, great staff, clean modern rooms for a great price. The equestrian theme is charming and unique — you won't find anything like it in Ocala. Will be back!

"Great Value — Excellent Breakfast"

On the SW outskirts of Ocala. Very pleased to find it. Great price. Good restaurants nearby. Very clean. Large room with comfy bed. Decent kitchenette. Pool and gas fireplace area. Good breakfast. The complimentary breakfast was a real highlight — fresh and filling. Highly recommend for anyone visiting the World Equestrian Center.

"Fun Weekend Near the Springs"

The room was clean and cozy. Breakfast was good too. Lots of good restaurants and stores nearby. Pool looked great, and the hang-out area by the pool with a gas fireplace and chairs was a wonderful touch. The gym was small but useful. Staff was friendly and accommodating throughout our stay.

"Perfect Base for WEC Season"

We stay at Equus Inn every time we come to Ocala for the horse shows. The equestrian theme makes it feel like home — the murals, the horse statue out front, the whole vibe is just right. Breakfast is included and the staff always remembers us. Trailer parking nearby makes it so convenient for show season.

"Charming Boutique Hotel with Real Character"

What a find! The lobby lounge with the horse racing mural is stunning — you instantly know this is a place that loves horses. The rooms are spotless and modern, the outdoor pool and fireplace area is perfect for evening relaxation, and the beer & wine bar is a lovely bonus after a long day at the shows.

"Great Family Stay — Kids Loved the Horse Theme"

We brought the kids for a weekend trip to Silver Springs and Equus Inn was the perfect choice. The rooms were spacious and clean, breakfast was included and the kids loved it. The outdoor pool was a hit. The equestrian decor throughout the hotel made it a memorable experience — my daughter wants to come back every year!

"Ideal for Sports Teams and Group Travel"

Brought our swim team to Ocala for a FAST tournament and Equus Inn was outstanding. The meeting room accommodated our team meetings perfectly, breakfast kept the athletes fueled, and the staff went above and beyond to accommodate our group. The rates are very competitive for the quality you receive. Already booked for next season.

"Clean Stop While Passing Through"

Stayed here overnight while traveling through Ocala. Clean and good price. Breakfast included. The hotel has a unique equestrian personality that makes it stand out from the typical roadside options. Would definitely stop here again on my next trip through Florida.
