Howard Johnson by Wyndham Ocala FL I-75
Shopped around quite a bit before settling on Howard Johnson. Best deal! The staff was friendly, rooms were clean, beds were comfortable, and the breakfast was about what you'd expect for that price. After a long day kayaking Silver Springs the hot tub was a perfect way to end the day.
