Hotels in Ocala
 

Going to USAC races in Ocala in Feb. First time there and wanted to see if anyone knows of a good resonable rate hotel that they would recomend. Was on google and looked at some that was in the $60 -
$ 80 range but most of those had bad reviews. I was on the speedway site and one of the rooms recommended was the Ramada but the reviews were not to good for that one.

Mark, I know when we were there in the early/mid 90's, Ocala was alot of slum. So unless they cleaned the place up, you would be better off staying a few miles outside of Ocala. At least thats what we are going to do if we decide to go....

We are at the Super 8 at I-75 and 40 there are several motels at that exit or I-75 and 27 about 2 miles apart all are what I consider 3 star joints...a place to shower and sleep..... they are ok but they they are not your 5 star whistles and bells place if you want that go a few miles farther down the road to I-75&200 nice ones down there for alil over 100 a night....I was down there all week last week and probaly Howard Johnson might be the worst,,,but for 39.00 a night it would past ....the only reason I block rooms for the lightning sprint guys is the truck parking..I'll be back down there this week and will come back on here and give you rates for all my non wing buddies:22:

Mark, I have rooms booked at the Ramada. It seems to be an okay joint. It is close, and they have a racers rate of $59 a night.

That is about the going price around there ..even HJ is 39.00 but 10.00 per person more they are all 3 star rooms and clean...RAMADA is probably the most up to date....
all ya need is a place to bathe/sleep....you'll be at the races from 12:00 noon to about 11:00 that night if you go to both tracks

I guess you X racers must get special discount!
Super 8 was about the same price.
I will wait to see what Papa outlaw comes up with.
Just looking for a 3 star hotel.
