I'd have no problem staying at this hotel again when I am in the area. It is evreything you would look for in a basic hotel. It was close to everything that I was doing in the area. The staff is very friendly and willing to help you with anything. The breakfast here is very basic so don't expect too... More

The moment we walked into the room located near the backside of property by maintenance workers' rooms, the smell and stuffiness just hit us. We opened the door to let it air out, hoping it would help. I have not needed my asthma inhaler for almost a year and had not brought it with me. I came very close to... More

We chose the Best Western as we needed someone where cheap and close to the Manatee Tours (We chose River Ventures - 5* Excellence!). Aside form the convenience and the fact we got breakfast at 5:45am I cant say anything else about the hotel. The room was clean however it smelt musty. The Air con was noisy (and had to... More

I have stayed at the Best Western Crystal River Resort for the past five years and thought it was about time I write a review. The hotel provides exactly what you want while on the road...clean room, great service, wonderful location, good fast breakfast....and the list goes on. I stay here during my annual Tarpon Fishing trip and have never... More

My visit here was an unplanned stop. I arrived in a tow truck. My work vehicle had a major malfunction with the transmission. I was stranded in a beautiful place!!! Wow. The staff was great and every question was answered. I was there for a few nights and my rates were higher than I wanted, but the fact I was... More

My husband and I stayed for two nights during "off-peak" season in a jacuzzi king room with a water view and private balcony. Make sure to specify whether you'd like a smoking or non-smoking room since they offer both. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean, bed was comfortable, and it is a very convenient location to kayaking and... More

We stayed only one night too swim with the Manatees (we did this at "river venues", 5 mis. From hotel, great tour). Best western always provided a Nice price/quality standard. The room was good and had everything we needed for 1 night. Only disadvantage was the smell. It smelled as if someone had taken a few smokes inside the room.... More

If you are looking for a good hotel near the manatees, this is your place! There is no better location for this adventure. The boat that takes you out for snorkeling is within walking distance. The hotel itself is nice, quiet, clean and some rooms have balcony (you see the ocean) and hot tub. Staff is friendly and helpful, you... More

I wanted to stay close to the river, with manatee tours nearby.hotel was ok but AC noisy. We had a verandah on ground floor but next to bushes and flying insects so we did not use it apart from drying swim gear. Breakfast was excellent - loved the waffles! Pool and spa excellent. It was a quiet time of year... More
