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.

The location is perfect. Convenient access to the excursions we did while there…few minutes drive or walk. The grounds were clean, however some construction happening adjacent to motel. But never heard disturbing noises during the evening. We will be going back here in the Spring!

Great location

Super cute and convenient area! We loved spending time by the pool, at the restaurant next door, and rented a kayak right there! It was a perfect spot, very clean, everyone was friendly, and the coffee was great. We'd definitely come again.

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.

Front desk was very nice. The room and overall property was not in the condition I expected being affilated with Wyndham. The shower would not drain, the toliet rocked, the smell was awful. Not enough parking. Its a ran down older motel with paint and newer, not comfortable beds and basic furnishings.

Great place ina beautiful environment. Was there on a weekend with a room over the tiki bar. Lots of music and partying fisherman. I love all those things (except when I’m trying to sleep). Very fun and well kept. Definitely the best hotel in town.

Convenient hotel for staying in Crystal River

The hotel was adequate and clean, and the staff was excellent and very responsive. I wouldn’t call this resort but rather a two star hotel with a small pool. We were a bit disappointed with the breakfast that the hotels.com site says comes with the room… breakfast is a bag with a small water and apple and a wrapped muffin like you would get from a vending machine.
