- Review: We LOVE the OCALA HILTON, it has been an icon for the Community. I hate to hear that the owners are going to paint the ICON something other than the beloved PINK. IT JUST WONT Be the same. We are not Animal owners, so having so many DOGS checking in with their owners is disheartening., by Micheal, November 30, 2022, rated 10/10 Excellent
