Location-Location!!! Right on the water in Crystal River. Staff is friendly at the front desk and restaurant/bar. Rent kayaks at head out to see the manatees - just around the corner. Would definitely stay again!

Staff was very responsive. We had issues with 2 doors. One was very squeaky, and the other had a hinge come off. Maintenance had fixed both doors when we later returned to our room.

You can’t call that breakfast property in need of a complete overhaul the only thing that saves it is the location

Clean room….friendly staff. Hotel is really old, tearing it down and building a new one next door. We’ll be back for that!
Sort of mom and pop place that was forgotten about.
Good view of marina and water. Breakfast is almost nonexistent.
Convenient to everything on the water.
In the process of building new restaurant, marina office and hotel.
Employees are super nice the conditions

Great location and restaurant. Room was comfortable but we didn't have hot water for showers this morning which was rough after swimming with manatees at 32' outside! Otherwise comfortable and affordable.
The room was furnished with items that you would get from a garage sale. They were old and overused. The carpet should have been replaced 10 years ago. The bed linen was way past its use, stained and very old. This place has great potential, but apparently the management does not want to invest.
My husband and I felt like we could get some kind of disease or bedbugs from how old and overused the furnishings were.
