The hotel was in a good location with food within walking distance and it was ok for amenities except the pool closed at dusk, which was at 5:20pm, so we did not get to experience it. However, the beds were absolutely the worst we have slept on in a VERY long time. Any movement and it squeaked and creaked and made so much noise and sadly they were just uncomfortable all around.

We had an excellent stay at The PaddleTails Waterfront Lodge. The room was comfortable and well-kept, with a great ambience that made it easy to relax. The location is perfect — peaceful, scenic, and close to everything in Crystal River. The staff was professional, friendly, and always willing to help. Overall, a wonderful experience and definitely a place we’d be happy to return to.

The location and environment of this property is outstanding with easy access to all we wanted to do. The room was in need of some updating but was clean. The breakfast options were good if you don’t need a special dietary/gluten free option. Having flavored coffee creamer would be great. The coffee wasn’t the best. Overall, this property has a lot to offer for a fun-filled, walkable stay in Crystal River.

Last minute stay. Receptionist super friendly at check in though appeared to have been drinking significantly (I appreciate it was about 11pm but this was a surprise). Room basic but clean. Breakfast was standard offerings and nothing to write home about but edible. Location convenient.

John, who doubles doing security and night maintenance, was very helpful. The man who cleaned our room was excellent. The hot tub was for 15+ years & above was filled will children throughout our stay. Breakfast was C- in quality and, for a large room lacked adequate seating to deal with the number of guests. Front desk staff was helpful. Many hotels offer hot coffee/tea in the lobby around the clock - not so here.
