Set amidst a lush tropical green scenery yet only few minutes from downtown Ocala, the Horse Capital of the World - Welcome to the new Holiday Inn Express & Suites of Silver Springs. Stay and experience southern hospitality at its finest, the very reason why we are ranked # 1 Express hotel in Florida and 9th all over North America in the recent Guest Satisfaction Survey by IHG. Home to the world's largest artesian spring formation, Silver Springs was made famous by the glass bottom boats of the Silver Springs Theme Park and Wild Waters located across the street from the hotel. It is also the gateway to Ocala National Forest - Central Florida's last remaining traces of forested land where one can bask in it's pristine natural beauty offering unlimited fun and activity to the nature enthusiasts. From kayaking to fishing or ATV and horse-back riding, these are just some of the things anyone can enjoy from the campsites (Juniper Springs, Alexander Springs, Rainbow Springs and Salt Springs) in and around the area. For our business guests, we offer a 24-hr business center equipped with computers, fax and copier. All of our guests also enjoy the convenience of a heated pool, gym and wired or wireless Internet access on all our beautifully-appointed guestrooms featuring 32" LCD TVs, micro-fridges and large work areas. Don't forget, hot breakfast is on the house every morning and sorry, no smoking rooms and assistance pets only.
