Top Gilchrist Hotel Reviews

Microtel Inn & Suites by Wyndham Ocala

2/10 Terrible

"We rented the Jacuzzi room which cost extra the room, smelt, wet and musty. The first day we tried to use the Jacuzzi in the room. There was no hot water and no power to that section of the room we gave notice on the front desk. It was not repaired. We checked out and did not spend the second day there. They had also put children in a room above us that were purposely stomping back-and-forth for an hour."

Sleep Inn and Suites - Ocala / Belleview

6/10 Okay

"Firstly, the overnight gentleman with the long ponytail and the older lady who handled breakfast were absolute gems. They were both very kind, attentive, and welcoming. Unfortunately, Room 101 could use some attention. When we first entered, the room had a strong wet dog smell, though it improved after the A/C had been running for a while. The bed on the right side also has a large dent in it, which made it uncomfortable to sleep in since I kept rolling into the dip throughout the night. The shower was the biggest issue and very difficult to manage. The curtain is too short, and the shower lip does not keep the water contained properly. Water hits the curtain and runs onto the floor, flooding the entire bathroom every time someone showers. Additionally, the sitting area with the couch could really use a lamp or some overhead lighting, as the room overall feels very dark. Overall, the staff was excellent and provided great service, but the facility itself was a bit uncomfortable and could use some improvements."

Mission Resort and Club

6/10 Okay

"The property was okay. It doesn’t feel like a 4-star hotel. The room was fine, check-in was easy. There were a lot of small oversights that could’ve been fixed to elevate the room/stay. For example, the first body towel I used had a tear in it along with 2 hairs (not ours) attached to it, there were scuff marks all over the walls and mirrors that could’ve been touched with paint and the clock in our room was off by a few hours."

Comfort Inn & Suites Wildwood - The Villages

2/10 Terrible

"Someone booked a stay at this hotel through hotels.com but put in my email address for their email address. Since hotels.com and its partners do not care about data privacy, they don't bother to confirm email addresses for transactional emails. I marked all average for the review since that seems fair having never been to this hotel or this part of Florida. I will say that in general I don't stay with choice hotels anymore because most of the properties are too dated and not in good locations. I mostly stay at Marriott and the occasional Hilton. Perhaps hotels.com should require users to verify their email before sending them transactional e-mails that allow anyone to presumably cancel or modify a booking. Also, for most chain hotels, it is usually cheaper to book direct instead of through a third party."

Frequently asked questions

When is the best time to go to Gilchrist?

The best time to go to Gilchrist, Florida, is typically during the spring (late March to May) and autumn (October to November) months.

These periods offer the most pleasant weather, with comfortable temperatures and lower humidity, making it ideal for outdoor activities like exploring the natural springs and wildlife. You'll find fewer crowds compared to the peak summer season, allowing for a more relaxed experience.

For couples looking for a tranquil escape, visiting in late spring or autumn is perfect. You can enjoy kayaking or paddleboarding on crystal-clear waters without the bustling activity of peak season, and the evenings are mild enough for al fresco dining.

Families might also appreciate these shoulder seasons. The weather is suitable for children to enjoy swimming in the springs or exploring the nature trails without the intense heat of summer.
