Few businesses know the yearlong rollercoaster ride better than the hotel industry in Central Florida. It’s a seasonal phenomenon that leaves many hotel and motel operators fluctuating between nail-biting slow periods and fast-paced weeks with rooms booked to capacity.Kyle Tyler, assistant general manager for Quality Inn Ocala Hotel & Conference Center, said it depends on what time of year you’re talking about. “When the racing was going on and HITS horse show, we were completely filled up. A couple times, we were at 100 percent,” said Tyler. “The summer is the slow time. Once the Gator games start up, it’s pretty good. One of the teams that played against the Gators, last year, came here. We just finished the busy time of the year.”
