One of the famous glass bottom boats in Silver Springs State Park (Ocala, FL) floats by on the crystal clear water of the Silver River. If you visit Silver Springs, you must take one of these boat rides. In addition to seeing the underwater springs, we also saw manatees, alligators, turtles, monkeys, and birds on our 90 minute tour. #silversprings #florida

Top North Central Florida Hotel Reviews

Equus Inn Ocala

6/10 Okay

"Breakfast was fine. Didn't have time to eat as had to leave early. The pool was full of leaves and trash laying around from other guest. Found out there was pieces of glass in the pool and the pool got shut down, but they took hours to get the pool cleaned up."

Days Inn by Wyndham Ocala North

2/10 Terrible

"The website for making reservations for Days Inn was horrible. As I advanced through the process the dates were changed several times. Shame on me for not double checking the date at the last stage because it was wrong. I was charged for a day that I didn't want. I immediately tried to change it but was told that the manager would have to approve any refund or change. We would have accepted credit for another time, but no. We will NEVER stay at Days Inn again. Holiday Inn Express is the way to go folks. "

Studio 6 Ocala, FL

2/10 Terrible

"Air conditioning and refrigerator both worked but were both very noisy. The place is falling apart. Damaged furniture, warped flooring, rust in shower area, paint peeling. There was no remote for the tv, finally got one. The room phone did not work. Smell of pot throughout. I appreciate it is a cheaper hotel but if Expedia is promoting it, they better check the quality of places. Will not recommend or stay again. "
