Reviews and Ratings
I couldn't have asked for a better breakfast selection; it was simply outstanding. Though my room opened up to the parking lot and behind the Tiki Bar, making it a bit noisy until late evening, I was grateful just to have a room at that point, despite a slight musty smell.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and clean, equipped with a nice-sized refrigerator, coffee maker, and microwave. The service was exceptional, with friendly staff and efficient room service. The location was fantastic, overlooking the water and offering a great view of the marina. The dining experience was top-notch, offering one of the best complimentary breakfasts I've had. The facilities were well-maintained and added to the overall enjoyment of my stay.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were small and lacked a TV, which made staying indoors a bit dull. Although the bed could have been more comfortable, the room was clean and I appreciated the good TV. However, check-in and check-out times were inconvenient, and the distance to the main reception and breakfast room was a bit bothersome. Being close to Crackers restaurant was a plus.
The hotel was ideally located near the water and a restaurant. The room had a mildew smell likely due to the swampy surroundings. Service was excellent with friendly and professional staff. The short boardwalk facing the sunsets was a highlight of the location.
The hotel was nicely located right on the Crystal River, offering beautiful views and abundant amenities. The rooms were spacious, clean, and well-equipped, making for a comfortable stay. The dining experience had a good variety but lacked freshness in the food. The service was mixed, with some friendly staff but room for improvement in friendliness overall. The location was ideal for exploring the river activities and was very close to attractions.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms. The free breakfast was a delightful surprise, not your usual basic affair. The rooms were well-equipped with a sizable refrigerator, a coffee maker, and a microwave, making my stay enjoyable. However, the lack of customer service skills among some staff was noticeable, especially at the pool where behavior was inappropriate. The location was ideal for my purpose, being close to various attractions and offering a waterfront view, despite some areas needing improvement.
