Crystal River Manatees

The place is a 1950’s motel experience on the Kings Bay with coffee and donuts as complimentary breakfast. There is a restaurant and tiki bar attached which are very good and right on the water. Tour and dive boats are available to see the manatees in an area viewable from the Motel. It needs renovations, but the location is perfect for anything you want to do.

Our stay

This place is very nice. The rooms are dated and the floors were dirty. Otherwise, very friendly staff and an excellent view from our room with a balcony. The pluses far outweighed the negatives. We would stay again!

We had a room right on the water and saw a beautiful sunset. There is a wonderful restaurant and Tiki bar next door to the hotel. Unfortunately, the Marriott has bought the property and it is currently under construction. In another year or so, the original hotel (where Elvis stayed during filming of a movie) will be gone. Overall, would stay again even if it is a Marriott!

Nice effort, but the construction was a frustrator. Very nice staff and considering the place is being replaced, it was acceptable.

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.

Room was terrible. Holes in walls patched with drywall compound. A new Marriott is being built next door and this place will be torn down when the other is finished. This place is being neglected. View was only good thing about room.

Great location and beautiful view. Last minute reservation. The area was under construction as a new hotel is being built. We stayed in the old hotel. Which was still a great stay. Restaurant and Tiki Bar were great. And of course the Manatees!!
