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.

5/5 Stars – The Best Intergalactic Stay in Ocala, Hands Down Let me start by saying: Houston, we do NOT have a problem—because Avid Hotel Ocala is the only hotel where you can land your UFO, feel like a billionaire ex-president, and dip your toes in liquid dessert without judgment. Parking: First off, I rolled up in my interdimensional craft—a 1997 Saturn disguised as a Tesla—and what do I see? ROCKET SHIP PARKING. On the roof. Like, actual launchpad-style parking. I parked next to a guy in a chrome-plated Winnebago with satellite dishes. Casual. Check-In: As soon as I entered, I was greeted like I was Donald J. Trump reincarnated—minus the spray tan and nuclear codes. Red carpet vibes. One of the staff actually said, “We were expecting you, sir.” I don’t even think they knew who I was, but that’s the kind of energy I need in life. Amenities: Let’s talk about the real reason you’re here—the chocolate fountain. I don’t know if this was part of the continental breakfast or a Willy Wonka fever dream, but me and my buddy couldn’t resist. We dipped our toes in. No shame. It was warm, velvety, and honestly… my feet have never felt more edible. (P.S. Sorry to the next guy in line—should’ve gotten there earlier.) Room: My suite had mood lighting that made me feel like I was being probed—in a good way. The bed? So soft I sank deeper than my last situationship. The pillows whispered sweet nothings to me. I woke up convinced I had ascended to a higher dimension.

My wife found a small curly hair on her towel while drying off from a shower and we had to pay $150 for our pets to stay overnight one night. I find both of these issues unreasonable and I won’t use this hotel again because of it. I believe I’m owed compensation in the form of a refund.
