Place is old. Room was clean only made up 1 of the four nights I was there. The location is spectacular and the Waterfront Social Tiki Bar and Grill adjacent made up for other misgivings.

Cool old Florida hotel
It is a very cool old Florida hotel in a great location in Crystal River. It is a little dated so the humidity was not great in the rooms and it just needs a lot of updating. But they are building a new hotel right next-door which we hope to visit in the future. We did very much enjoy our stay. The staff was excellent.

We had a great time.
Such an interesting and fun experience! It was like going back in time. Nothing fancy, unless you consider watching manatees and dolphins playing right outside your door fancy...which I do.

They are currently doing renovations and the rooms are in need of an upgrade. We didnt even have hangers for the closet. The view and location were good.

The hotel is pretty old so don't expect anything fancy. There is construction going on right next door so it's a little messy. The view/ setting of the hotel makes all that worthwhile. There's also a great restaurant and tiki bar right on site. It was perfect for us.

Beautiful river view
An old hotel with a beautiful view from a very spacious balcony. The room was insulated well and very quiet. It will be torn down in a few years when a "new and better" 5 story hotel is built. So sad. We will have to make another trip to Crystal River before this happens.

Clean and comfortable but old and needs work
Location on the water is pleasant and has a nice marina view and is very convenient for kayaking and swimming with manatees. The hotel is old and needs work but it was clean and the bed comfortable. The TV remote did not work so had to turn it off on the TV and couldn't watch TV. The very nice receptionist had no clue how to fix it. Very nice to have a connected restaurant which had pretty tasty food and good service. Connected dive center rented kayaks and wet suits and has manatee tours. Very nice folks.

No Coffee Maker in Room
Not a bad place to stay. They really need to put coffee makers in the rooms. I went down at 7:45 they were closed. The sign said open at 7:00. I called a little after 8:00 she said I ran a little late. Really? An hour was not a little late, it was a lot late. Like I said they need a coffee maker in the rooms. Otherwise, I guess I could stay again.

The view out off our balcony of King’s Bay was absolutely perfect! This is what you want when you think of “old Florida” motels. Great staff, great location, boat ramp/docks onsite. Perfect! Just hope it’s still standing after hurricane Helene…

I liked the old school feeling. There was even an actual key for the door. View is amazing of the water and manatee sanctuary, very quiet and peaceful place to relax. Property was under construction because of flooding from the last hurricane. My feet got dirty very quickly on the floor in our room. Worst part was it advertised free breakfast but did not have any. I would definitely stay there again though.
