Ocala Cove Motel

There was nothing wrong with this room. Plenty of room. I did not have that cramped feeling I have in some motels. The wall in the bathroom shows some damage, perhaps at the base. Otherwise, well kept. Fine AC. It did blow on me at my desk, but I just turned it off and back on later. A nice stuffed chair just under a reading lamp. There are no pans or dishes or silverware, but there is a nice little kitchen sink that makes cleanup easy. I always bring my own dishes. Silverware, ceramics. I know kitchen stuff gets stolen by some guests, and is not worth retrieving, but there are ways to both service the customer and protect the motel. In one motel in Biloxi, at the front office, I could get a box of pans and silverware and dish soap just by leaving a deposit. That seemed smart. Even if they just collected up plates and cups and pans from a thrift store, it would be fine. I was in Biloxi a week; I had brought nothing with me. The wall flower art prints here in Ocala were pleasant, if boring. Not all the walls were decorated. Motel art being what it usually is, I'm not certain having bare walls is a bad thing. Most bare walls beat the aesthetics of motel wall hangings. The paint was clean and seemed fine. The television worked great and it had my favorite no commercial TCM although I did not watch much TV. My neighbor had his on at 4 AM. I could not be so inconsiderate. Wonderful desk, unusually long and with good looking electrical hookups. Really two desks, one pulling out from under the other and perfect for my computer with room to eat as well. Plenty of electrical options in the room. Generally cheap rooms have few electrical options. Not here. However, remember to see that the desk electrical outlets are plugged in the wall. I did not remember until my computer went blank. Comfortable bed. I am just not fussy about beds. This one seemed fine. I did not fall asleep early. I guess the excitement of the day kept me awake.

The owner Sam was an absolute gem! Hard to find these days. He is definitely old school Florida. Full of charisma, class, caring, and just has a big heart. He truly cares for his guests. You can tell he has been doing this a long time. The hotel is definitely old school Florida. The room was clean and smelled wonderful when we arrived. Another thing about Sam that warmed my heart was that I woke up a tad under the weather and was running behind getting dressed (we were in town for a funeral), my husband asked if it would be ok if we stayed a little past check out and he told him that we were ok and not to worry. True compassion.

I WILL STAY there if i need a place to sleep or stay for any thing . the rooms are so clean i didnt even see 1 bug i am not used to staying in a hotel /inn that is so so so clean . thank you very much edward gagne

This is a very clean room and the owner was wonderful and very understanding of our situation and emergency for family member

I loved the movable table that was part of the computer desk. I came to work on editing my book, and the table was fantastic for spreading out my writing. I also loved the high toilet and low bathtub sides.
