Its clean but its also an old Motel. The door in our bathroom would not stay closed due to shifted frame, old school/noisy air-conditioning, etc. However the location is awesome, the staff is fabulous and the manatees are pleantiful.

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.

They did not honor the kingbed room reservation made so far in advance and the check in made 24 h in advance. The lodge has given us a very modest room for the money and the area.
