Everything was just as expected ☺️

Excellent

Nice clean hotel. Friendly staff. Free breakfast :)

It was convenient. The hotel is smoke-free HOWEVER, they have set up the smoking area right outside the front door so you have to walk through it coming and going. Gross. They have a sign that says be respectfully quiet from 10pm to 7 am… which sounds good but every night we were there (3) this was not enforced (ex: people were filling coolers with ice after midnight). We also had to ask for room service, and even though we let them know the shampoo dispenser was empty, it was not refilled.

It was a nice place to stay in Crystal River. The rooms were good sized, the TV awesome and the breakfast was good too.

We stayed for 3 nights and each day were pleased with our stay. The hotel staff was wonderful at check-in and check-out, the staff that manned the breakfast did a great job keeping the area clean and complete with breakfast and coffee. The hotel and room was very clean and new. We felt safe with Covid still an issue. Nice area with shopping and restaurants nearby. Will stay again!

Todo excelente.

Very clean, comfortable, and well-equipped room.

Extremely clean and well maintained. Excellent front desk staff and overall polished. Very affordable as well.

Services were great, staff exceptional, over all excellent place to stay. The only thing that was troublesome was there was no chair in our room. There was a table but no chair. For people who have back issues, leg issues, hip issues, this is a huge issue. My husband had knee surgury this year and trying to balance on a bed was very uncomfortable and awkward. We did ask for a chair and received a desk chair that swiveled. It was ok. That is our complaint. Thank you!

Staff when we came in was friendly and courteous (MIKE)

It was a beautiful property located near everything we planned to do. The breakfast was amazing!

Excellent place! Great, accommodating, & courteous service. We had a little problem with the internet, but the hotel quickly resolved it! Will stay there again!

we had a pet room and it was very nice and clean. check in was fine under the Covid conditions. only stayed one night

Restaurants are open, but still no breakfast at hotels which advertise free breakfast. If you can eat at a restaurant, breakfast should be served at your hotel.

Gana, thank you for your feedback. As far as the smoking area, it is not right outside the door. I apologize if there where people outside the door smoking. They are not suppose to. for the ice machines, I tried to look at staff notes and did not see any complaints about them. We only have 1 staff member on late night, so, unless we see it or have someone let us know it is hard to enforce. Again I apologize for the inconvenience.
