Location was very convenient to restaurants and sights. Tour booking center on sight was great. Boat tours were located right behind the hotel. Staff was wonderful. Very helpful with suggestions regarding restaurants and places of interest. Nice clean room. Comfortable beds. Really enjoyed the “Grab and Go” snack bag that was supplied every day. Nice coffee bar in the lobby. Strong Wi-Fi connection.

No coffee maker in the room. I had to walk outside from the room to get coffee in the lobby. Fortunately it was not raining the days we were there. No elevator, but had access ramps to all the upper floors.

The room was a great value, All by itself! Nothing else need applied!

Great value! TV terrible! Buy an internet subscription!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Offer streaming services!! And, the breakfast is nuts! A "grabandgo" bag? Little Debbie? Seriously? I'm not sure why they want to scrimp on food in the morning, they even tell you where to go have a good breakfast. Did the owner or manager attend a hotel conference and decided to double down on this ridiculous idea? At the end of the day, this is an awesome place!!! Just forget the morning experience! I will return! The price was right for the online booking when I made it!!! The staff is WONDERFUL!!!

We had requested a ground floor room, given upper level room,but asked to change and were accommodated. Rooms are clean and functional, fridge a bonus beds were comfortable,good powerful shower. Staff. Always helpful.

My only issue was a very weak WiFi signal in the room ,normally this would not be an issue, but due to personal issues I needed the e mail connection which was a pain, otherwise I am a fan of this hotel, good parking and in a great spot, nobreakfast but there are great options s minutes away, eg. Sarah,s or Granny's on US 19.

The staff was so friendly and helpful in providing recommendations for activities, restaurants, and drinks in the area. They also had a free breakfast and a cute little coffee shop on site. I liked that there were several buildings on the property and it wasn't set up as a big chain hotel. I also loved that it was right by the water where they had several chairs out on a patio so you could drink your coffee and watch the boats. Additionally, there was a swimming adventures company right across the street and there you could set up many water activities and access straight from the hotel. The room was large and clean but the walls/building seemed a little outdate (stucko or whatever that material is). But then again, maybe just because it was FL?... I felt it was centrally located, awesome restaurant literally right next door from the hotel. I will definitely be booking here again for any future travels that take me to that part of Florida!

Honestly, there was nothing disappointing about my stay. Both my husband and I were pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend for anyone traveling to that side of FL.

I stayed in building 1, room 213 with the pool, jacuzzi and dock area with kayak rentals and boat rides practically outside my door. Parking was close too. I had a partial view of crystal river as well. My room was quiet and nicely renovated with new paint, furniture and art. Bed(s) were comfy and linens clean and well appointed. Nice smelling toiletries as well. Close walk to lobby for coffee in the morning or to check out the gift shop. Crackers Bar & Grille next door.

Unfortunately, this property does not have a small restaurant on-site, but only a coffee shop that offers coffee and donuts/pastries until 1:30pm. It would've been nice to have a simple breakfast sandwich with eggs or some other protein type food instead of only sweets and coffee! And if that is the case, then break up the work hours....perhaps open from 6am-1pm, and then again from 4pm until 7pm for later arrivals who need a pick-me-up with caffeine and/or sweets, etc... Just a suggestion.

Property was very clean and you could tell the rooms had been renovated in recent years. I wish they offered bigger beds. The full size beds in the double rooms was a bummer. They were comfortable though, and the rooms were clean. There seemed to be a humidity problem in our room. A big bucket of Damp Rid was kept on top of the closet. The A/C seemed to work really well though and kept our room cool. Location is key here. They offer a private boat ramp you can utilize, but it is on the smaller/tighter size, fyi. Would be amazing if there were boat slips you could leave your boat overnight, but they do have docks you can tie off for a short while and a dirt lot to park your boat trailer. Kids loved the pool! There are also multiple restaurants within walking distance. Bayside Kraft Kitchen was absolutely delicious. Def recommend! Overall, I really enjoyed our stay and would return again.

The front office staff, Cindy and were absolutely lovely! The room was clean, comfortable and much nicer than pictured online. They are doing a bunch of renovations so maybe we were in a new room? They offer a delicious manatee punch around check in time as well as warm chocolate chip cookies. What a great little treat after a long drive!! There is also a great little coffee shop in the lobby that has tasty snacks and coffee.

The only thing I wish the room had was additional pillows. I feel like a queen bed should have four so when two people share a bed they each get two pillows. But that is such a small issue and I believe had I called and asked for more pillows they would have happily brought us a few.

This is our 2nd time there. We were originally placed in a nice room close to the end of the property, but what we didn’t know was there was going to be a band playing at the restaurant next door. At 7 pm, it was blaring in our hotel room. We have an infant, so that was not going to do for us! I walked to the front desk, explained the problem and Cathy at the front desk was awesome! She immediately said “no problem!” We have an emergency room, and it is in a quiet spot. They were fully booked but Cathy had the kindness and forethought to understand the importance of a quiet location for a baby in need of a quiet place to sleep! Thank you Cathy! We do so appreciate your help!! We will stay there again!

Cathy was so responsive to our needs and that made all the difference! Thank you again!!

Clean updated rooms. Quiet setting. Kind staff. I rented a kayak from their affiliated rental service captain mikes and it was wonderful. Definitely choose the earliest time as the bay, springs and canals fill up by 9 am.

The price is probably too high for the services, but I also recognize that the essentially waterfront location is a prime spot. You are paying for location/convenience, not special services or amenities.
