Skip the Shamrock Cove Inn

20 years ago the Shamrock Cove Inn might have been campy and retro. Today it is a decrepit dump with small rooms, cracked and dirty floors, and bathrooms with cracked tiles and fixtures that need repair. The only thing to recommend it is its proximity to downtown Ocala. Do yourself a favor and find a decent motel and drive the increased distance to downtown Ocala.

Good place for a night of rest.

the room was clean but a paint job would brighten it up. The shower had good pressure and on a price value level, it was perfect as I was there for a quick night to sleep before travelling to my ultimate destination. I would stay there again. The manager was pleasant and helpful.

Great hidden gem!

Awesome little motel with a very personable vibe. Undergoing renovations and upgrades, even though the work that has already been done looks great, can’t wait to see what the end product looks like. Excellent experience and at a great price.

Makes you feel like you're a welcomed house guest instead of an ordinary hotel. Very cute and clean room. I did not like the memory foam mattress but my husband did. The pillows are very uncomfortable, road is really noisy but the white noise from the ac helped drown it out a lot. It is definitely a diamond in the rough. Overall it has a great value and I would recommend it to friends and family.

Our room was just what we expected - very clean and nice. We enjoyed being able to easily walk the few blocks to the center of town where there were many restaurants open and lots of activity on a Saturday evening.

Not Great

I'm surprised by the number of positive reviews. This motel is fine but barely. Not sure it is worth the cost It certainly was not clean. Bedding and surfaces you can see were ok, but corners and other crevasses haven't been cleaned any time recently. Claims free coffee, but office isn't open til 10AM?!? No instructions for WiFi or checkout are provided without asking. On very loud street.
