This motel or hotel, is from the 50-60's era and it shows. The rooms are clean and offer the basic amenities. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. It is on Kings Bay and our room was about 25-30 yards from the water.

This is a old motel with the BEST location in Crystal river. They are fixing it up, but with such low rates it takes time. The rooms are clean and bug free, but dated. Yes there may be a light blub missing, but the staff and owners are very nice. As always the manager Marge makes sure that you enjoy... More

I've been traveling to Florida since 1950. This hotel is old, but I have no problems with that. The restaurant is good enough that I go there frequently, whether staying at the hotel or not. It is also "old fashioned," in a sense, but much friendlier than other options looking out over the Crystal River. The food, in fact is... More

My wife and i stayed 2 nights and it was the worst time ever. The rooms were nasty the celing was falling in . the fridge did not work and the hotel manager was very rude. Also the prices of beer and food were horrible. I would never recomend any one ever stay there. They ruined i weekend away.

This hotel was recommended by relatives. The room was clean and of good size as was the bathroom. An issue with our first room was immediately resolved. The balcony in building A offered a view of the water and the sunset, which was wonderful. The on-site restaurant is not open for breakfast and closed at 8pm on Sunday (our only... More

My wife and I stayed here for 3 nights commencing the 8th March 2013, we stayed a king room in block B. We were concerned about the reviews in Tripadvisor which are a mixture of Hit and Miss. Well our room was clean, and a fair size with a patio overlooking the Marina. Upon entering the room from the rear,... More

I knew before booking that this was an older hotel. And it is. We booked 3 rooms for one night to swim with the manatees at River Ventures. The hotel has a great location on the river with great sunsets and is only 1 mile from River Ventures. The rooms were tidy and spacious, the linens freshly laundered. Yes the... More

We stayed here in January with a group. Our group leader secured a great price for the hotel and the boat for snorkeling with the manatees; they were also great with air fills for our afternoon dive trips. Our leader also let us know well in advance that we wouldn't be staying at the Ritz! While the rooms were as... More

My sisters and I stayed on Feb.15th. What a relaxing and enjoyable visit we had. The front desk ladies were awesome and very friendly. The restaurant was totally enjoyed and the server was great. The rooms were wore out, but clean and very comfortable. We were even lucky enough to see a manatee from our deck. Thank you for everything.
