The room was spotless and we enjoyedd our stay. The croissants each day was a nice surprise. It is close to resturants and sites to see the manatees. I would recommend this hotel to anyone wanting to explore Kings Bay in Crystal Springs.
What a find!
Stay here and visit this lovely little town on the Cristal River.
Many restaurant and breakfast options on Citrus. Will maintained area, safe and quaint.
This quaint and well maintained hotel has a manicured courtyard that leads to each room. The outdoor areas provide tranquil seating while the room was large and well appointed. The staff was great and very welcoming. The continental breakfast was ample. The location is excellent and walking distance to everything Crystal Springs has to offer.
Very cute property. The nightly croissants on the door were amazing.

The staff and location were fantastic. Fresh pastries were delivered to our room each night. We had everything we needed and we were within walking distance to a great bar, St. John’s Tavern. The hotel itself is unique, with each room having its own decor. The shower was incredible, too. We would definitely return to this place.
The room was updated and spotless. The staff was pleasant. We were comfortable. Our only negative was that they hold to a strict 3 pm check in so we spent several hours waiting and honestly the hotel did not appear to be that busy.
The hotel is in a charming section of town, a block from the river and within walking distance of Three Sisters Springs and places to eat and rent watercraft. The room was clean, and the staff kind and helpful. The breakfast was basic but adequate. Our only complaint is that the bed was squishy, making it difficult to sleep.

This motel was quite unique from the upgraded decor to the endless freshly ground and brewed coffee. Staff was very friendly and it was centrally located to restaurants and sightseeing.
Room was beautiful. The staff was friendly and very knowledgeable. Would absolutely stay there again loved that after a day of sightseeing when you come back to the room, there were fresh pastries hanging on your door ! Awesome!
Walking distance to the town, little shops, restaurants and cafes. They do not do early check ins or late check outs. There’s continental breakfast and they give you pastry’s at your door after dinner.
