Shamrock Cove Inn

8/10 Good

"No comment"

Apartment in the heart of Historic Ocala Downtown

8/10 Good

"Great Stay in Downtown OcalaI enjoyed my stay and would consider staying here again. The apartment was very clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully appointed. The kitchen had everything needed for a short stay without being overcrowded with gadgets and supplies. I especially appreciated how organized everything was, including the spices, which made it easy to quickly find what I needed. The bed was comfortable and provided a good night's sleep, and the smart TV made it easy to access all of my streaming services.There are a few areas that could be improved. Upon arrival, the coded front door lock did not work consistently the first several times I tried it. After contacting the host, I was advised to try again, and I eventually discovered that pulling the door tightly against the frame reduced friction on the deadbolt and allowed the lock to operate properly. Also, while the location is very close to the downtown square, guests should be aware that crossing a busy road is required to get there. Finally, the living room could benefit from an end table or small side table near the seating area for drinks, phones, or other personal items.Overall, this is a clean, comfortable, and well-located property with a few minor opportunities that, if addressed, would make the experience even better."
