This motel was redone after sustaining significant flooding and it is absolutely gorgeous. The pool was a lil weird to me, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I just haven't ever seen a pool like it before. Kitchen was stocked with all we needed to cook. You must clean up after yourself or you will be charged extra which is odd, but there are signs letting you know. So much space and the bed was way comfortable. Staff was awesome. Parking can be questionable if you and neighbors are all in big vehicles, but there is overflow that can be utilized. It is in a great location right on the water and you're not too far from bout anywhere you wanna go in Crystal River. This was our first stay at this motel and we were looking forward to returning before we even left. For the price and location, you just about can't do better.

Great place for what it is, a fish camp on the water that is fixed up and a unique old Florida experience that won't break the bank. We had a great time.

The room was great. Very clean and comfortable. The restaurants were all within walking distance. There was a cute little area of shops to visit. We always look for a place with a pool. After driving many hours to get there, the pool, which they tout as spring fed, the last of its kind, was actually a fish infested moss and other stuff that flows into it from the river gross pool of water. It was awful!

The pool is unique and very cool. Very quaint hotel and the room was larger than I expected. Also very clean and I liked that the floors are not carpet. The front desk was very helpful checking me in early and able to bypass them and go directly to my room. Location is close to stores and restaurants.

This was an awesome place to stay. The room,#16, had everything we could have needed. I loved the recliners and the kitchenette was perfect for our needs. It was right on the water with chairs to sit outside to enjoy the scenery. Parking was a few steps from the door. We would 100% stay here again.

A great little hidden gem. We stayed 3 nights and were very pleased with the accommodations. If you are looking for a ritzy high rise this is NOT for you. If you want a great value, spacious and clean room, quiet location and a very unique swimming experience Kings Bay Lodge is the place for you. We plan to return.
