The Riding Academy Hotel

The pillows could be a bit better on the bed; however, overall, my partner, and I had a wonderful experience at this hotel. It was absolutely clean. The service was kind and friendly and prioritized our needs. I will definitely be wanting to stay here again.

This is a new hotel on the grounds of the World Equestrian Center. It has lovely equestrian style decor in the lobby and public areas, and the rooms are spacious and immaculate. No actual restaurant or bar, but there is a place called The Tack Room in the lobby where you can get wine, mixed drinks, and snacks...albeit a tad pricey. However, I understand there is a shuttle that can take you to any restaurant on the grounds...and there are plenty. I had invited some friends to meet me in the lobby and we sat in front of the fireplace on comfy leather sofas and chairs and chatted for a couple of hours, undisturbed. The hotel is in the  process of building a parking garage and another building across the parking lot. If you are in any way associated with horses, the WEC is a must-see.

It was great as we live in Gainesville only 25 minutes away.  We stayed at this hotel due to the fact that it is dog friendly.   Great service and fun to see all the horses.

Beautiful house with comfortable accommodations. Definitely planning to come back for more stays.

This is one of the nicest hotels I’ve been to! Beautiful, wonderful staff and super clean! This was my second time here and I can’t wait to come back! Thank you!

A very beautiful location, wonderful pool, lots of dining options. Easy to walk, drive and park in and around hotel.

Amazing for the money. It’s a 5 star hotel for 3 star prices.

This hotel is great! Friendly staff, super convenient location when attending horse shows or other events at the World Equestrian Center. Beds are very comfy and the suites are a great size for a family.

As soon as we walked in, we were amazed by the cleanliness and beauty of the hotel.  All the staff were friendly, courteous and professional, from the front desk to the staff in the Tack Room and to the housekeepers.  There was a specific attention to detail and comfort.  The room included a living area that made the suite very spacious and I loved the balcony!

Riding Academy

What a great property especially if your in town for any of the horse shows in Ocala. The rooms are spacious. They offered an upgrade for $40 a day. We had a view of the pool. Not worth the up grade expense. Your not in your room enough. No microwaves in the rooms. Took our food to the front desk and they heated it up for us. More inconvenient than anything,  but thankful for the option.

Great second stay here! Love the rooms and pool! The only thing we were not happy with was that on checkout day (hours prior to our checkout time) our room keys quit working and the thermostat in the room locked so it got really warm in the room. I didn’t feel like that was right since we had until noon to checkout.

Business stay turned vacation!

I booked my double queen suite on hotel.com for 340.00 to include taxes. When we went to check in they tacked on an extra 100.00 incidental fee which was unexpected and not specified in the fine print. I also, asked for a military discount since we are a military family and the don’t offer that.  The shower had hair inside the shower door, fortunately I brought clorox wipes so I can clean. The price would have been worth it if breakfast was included. We stayed here due to a gymnastics meet. The area is beautiful but be prepared to either travel for food options or pay extra on site.

Perfect place it was clean, quiet, and the shower was a dream. Waterfall shower the best I have ever used lots of water.   I wish I would’ve stayed in like June or July so I could’ve used the pool but it was way too cold for that and it was raining for two days.   The only bad thing is no microwave in the rooms, my wife and I like waking up at 5:30am an sit out on the balcony and drink coffee but we had soda instead.    We’re definitely coming back but after they finish the new building that’s being built.   But it’s a must stay.

A must stay

Property is amazing. Golf carts are suggested ant check-in but they aren't needed. There are a few changes I would make changes to, the guard at the gate is not there at night and key card isn’t needed to come and go in and out of hotel but other than that this hotel is actual perfection! Looking forward to coming back again one day!

Such a wonderful experience! I was so impressed at how nice the facilities were for the horses and the attention to detail throughout the entire park. The food was AMAZING, shopping was so much fun and the hotels were gorgeous!As horse lovers, we were so fortunate to be able to stay here for a few days!!!

We had a lot of issues changing our reservation from a three night to a two night even though we are within the contracted time allowance to make changes. I spent several hours on the phone and 4 days with Expedia support and  the riding Academy before I could get it straightened out. It was very frustrating.

This hotel is lovely inside with spacious rooms, a beautiful courtyard, and a quiet location next to The World Equestrian Center.  It is a bit far from town but close to the WEC if you are part of the horse community.The downside is there are no dining options in the Hotel -- it's a bit misleading because the hotel boasts multiple dining options and a spa; however, those amenities are actually at the neighboring Equestrian Hotel.  The eateries are quite far unless you rent a golf cart or drive to the Equestrian Center -- and the restaurants are difficult to find as this is such a massive facility.
