This stay exceeded my expectations! Every staff member was extremely helpful and got right to it when asked a question. We stayed one night with pulling a boat we had purchased while being in Ocala and the front office staff made sure our rig was parked in a safe location away from everyone. The room was amazing as well along with the room service. Def can not wait to return again!
Fabulous property and rooms. Room service food quality disappointing and extremely expensive. Property gets laud in the hall at night and you can hear your neighbors very clearly
This was our fourth year staying at the WEC. Every year it surpasses our previous stay on excellence. The staff always makes you feel like they’ve been waiting for just you to walk in the doors. The word grand always comes to mind when I first see the hotel and the property. It is my Christmas gift that I look forward to all year long and my favorite place to travel to. The horses and the grounds are also amazing to see along with the excellent restaurants and shopping. It’s the best way to start each year. Until next year WEC!!
The property is very well kept and maintained . The lobby of the hotel and the rooms are beautiful. Check was difficult even though the hotel reservation had been premade with Expedia and prepaid . The front desk person asked to run my credit card twice for $100 and then proceeded to tell me my card had been declined . On the third try the payment was approved and he did not apologize but merely thanked me for being patient which at this point I wasn’t . The shower although beautiful did not close properly in our room and created a wet mess after each time .
This is a wonderful hotel. We go every year at the holidays. It is decorated so beautifully. The staff makes an effort to call you by your name . The service is excellent. The food is good. And the attention to detail through out the hotel is amazing.
The beds are perfect….. and they have down pillows! Bravo!!!! We can’t wait to return for Christmas.
The restaurants are busy especially in the evening so make a reservation and you will have a great time.
