Was here for a 2 night trip. Nice cozy little spot right on the water in Crystal River. Rooms were very tidy and clean. Breakfast bag was a bit of a joke, but I never count on any hotel breakfast to actually be good. There’s a coffee shop in the lobby that has limited offerings, but probably better breakfast choices there. My only 2 complains were the hot tub wasn’t working and perhaps it was due to it being right after the 4th, there was a lot of guests hanging around later than I would have liked, so it felt a bit like party central. Know there’s a lot of people towing their boats as the boat ramp was just at the end of our building, lots of sand in the parking lot and standing water from all the boat traffic. Probably could have been avoided by being in a building that’s not right by the boat ramp. But all in all, a nice clean hotel and probably the nicest place you can stay in

Great property in a great location. They have their own dock, you can drop your kayak/paddle board and shoot straight down to Pete’s Pier (where manatees swim) and Three Sisters Springs. All the little parks are literally within walking distance. Property is well kept, clean, staff is nice and friendly. Coffee shop in the lobby is great. Plenty of restaurants nearby. Loved out stay here and would return back in a heartbeat.

Friendly Staff, Not-So-Eco-Friendly Property

The location was excellent. The staff was extremely helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the convenience of being able to kayak right from the property. The rental process was easy and the dive shop staff were knowledgeable and flexible when it came to use of the kayaks. The new tiki bar was great for relaxing after a day of travel. Unfortunately, our room was adjacent to the guest laundry and people were doing laundry at all hours. The spin cycle rattled the room and woke us up. I highly recommend a key card swipe for access to the pool as there appeared to be several people using the pool who were not guests of the hotel. It would be nice to have the hotel incorporate recycling bins in the rooms for all of the plastic water bottles. Rather than using individual-sized shampoos and soaps, refillable containers would be much more eco-friendly. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will likely return.

The carpets were kinda gross. Other than that it was clean. Not like the photos online. The pool was tiny. And no place to drop in your kyak if you bring your own. We had to wait for many boats on a tiny boat ramp.

What a wonderful time. As one part of a girls trip i gotta say its just what we needed. Rooms were quaint and easy to access with plenty of space. The only one downside was the hot tub was out of service and the beds were a bit small. But over all this is a gem of a place to stay.

Great location on King's Bay

This is essentially an up market motel in a great location on the bay. Rooms are comfortable and the pool and sitting areas great. Has a new tiki bar plus a company that runs boat trips to swim with manatees, kyaks hire, etc. Everyone is friendly. Can easily walk to a variety of restaurants. The only let down is the breakfast bag which they would probably be better not doing in my opinion.
