ill be in ocala for my christmas break so ill be staying at home. there is a days inn (i think thats what it is, it has a dennys attached to it) right across the street from silver springs. there are also some new hotels (like la quinta) by I 75 on the SR 200 exit which i believe is one past the exit for silver springs (sr 40). at any rate, ocala is MAYBE 10 miles across so its not a long drive from anywhere. if i was home i could work on getting some group rates, but im not, so someone else will have to do it. sorry guys. if you have any questions you can post or pm me and ill do my best to get you an answer.
