The front desk young lady was not real friendly (they have been on previous visits). This was a different front desk person. The person that was there at checkout was great! Our room did not get cleaned at all during our three night stay! My husband had to go down to the front desk and ask for clean towels. It was extremely loud at night (outside). You could hear the traffic, loud cars and motorcycles !

Sweating pillows

The hotel is basic, very clean but basic. Front desk lady was not very nice, looked like she hated her job. Common areas very cold. Rooms clean and basic. We had 2 queens Room has to not a desk chair. No closet only wall hooks, very small me ni fridge, no microwave. Beds very comfy. HOWEVER, pillows are way to soft and feel almost feather down, don't be fooled. Whatever material will make you sweat even though we had ac on 67 only head sweat all 3 nights Had us up each night by 3 am. Couldn't go back to sleep. Also very busy roads in both sides of building, very loud. Breakfast was continental with microwave breakfast. sandwich. Front desk staff unpleasant did not even say thank you upon check out. Will not say again

The hotel was clean; however, the tiles in the bathroom floor were coming up and the walls were very thin. I could hear everything in the rooms around me. I appreciated the location and proximity to downtown.

Another great stay. Avid is a great place to stay when you are looking for someplace clean and affordable. We spend almost no time in our room other than sleep and shower, so simple and well maintained is perfect for our needs. 24 hr. coffee, simple grab and go breakfast. Staff is friendly.

Will NEVER stay here again

*Roaches crawling around from late evening throughout the night. Tried to switch rooms and was told nothing is available. It was so late and because of a conference in town rooms were scarce or over priced so we couldn't change hotels. *I was also told they would not give reimbursement on room because I booked thru Hotels.com. They wouldn't call Hotels.com or anything to help with the situation. *Two front desk clerks were so very rude and disrespectful. It was so obvious they hated their work. Rooms are bare minimum necessities. *Average cleanliness. Floors needed to be swept. *Light fixture didn't work and the lamp was not secured properly. *The plug outlets in the room didn't work. I found one outlet and we bought an extension cord ($10) so we could charge phones on each side of bed. *Pull down shad - there was a shade pulled down in the room as shown in picture but the bright street lights came thru it. I called to ask about since there are no curtains. Response....all we have is the shade. No offer of any other info or assistance in blocking the light. *Aside from all that, the hotel is on a main strip in Ocala and all the younger adults were running the streets, revving their engines, police sirens constantly. *Floors are very hollow sounding so every step we made or people above us made...we sounded like elephants walking. *The breakfast served was ...you guess it.....Bagels, donuts, toast & coffee!
Roaches came from under this cabinet.
Hard to see the roach in first pic. Close up.
Broken Lamp
broken plug and look how its sitting. It wasn't secured at all.
