Definitely needs an upgrade, which is in progress.
They were very pushy to check in and check out. They need maintenance like serious maintenance to the point where it could be a fire hazard. Please see the photo of an electrical outlet that obviously has water damage. The TV didn’t work. We believe it is an outlet problem as well and the baseboard show signs of water damage.
It's right on the water and the restaurant and bar are only about 75ft from the room! Casual and laid back. Older building but very clean rooms. We will be back!
Room very comfortable clean but OLD ..
I’m sure floods have a lot to do with that .
Electrical plug by the bed did not work and I had a c-pap plugged in .. neither did the TV work . Good we were to tired to care ..
One of the best places to stay in Crystal River! Amazing views and the food at their restaurant is so delicious! We always stay here when getting a hotel in Crystal River!
An amazing bonus that they let our furry friends stay there as well!
I love the old character and slightly run down aspect of this place but some may not. Its a relief to stay somewhere that isnt concrete and with beautiful natural surroundings

Peaceful kick back place. Clean ,friendly and right on the water with amazing sunsets
First of all had to walk through 3-4 inches of water just to get into the office. Room was in old building and was completely dissatisfied, room was dingy, mattress soft, stains on sheets and mattress appeared old and dirty. I advised the front desk I would not be staying there. Huge disappointment and I will be seeking a refund.
This place just needs to be torn down and shouldnt legally be allowed to have guests. Our family are not hotel snobs at all and have stayed in questionable hotels before but we left this one early. The pictures on the site showed it was an older hotel and we went in expecting that. If we hadn't been awake for 46 hrs, we wouldn't have spent 1 minute here.
Not one good thing to say about this motel. Mold in the room, doors didn't close all the way, dirty floors and lights. The "lobby" smelled like a damp basement. The air conditioners had nasty buckets underneath and one of them didn't so black water was running onto the balcony. Tub was disgusting with mold, the outside of the tub and toilet had mold around it. Dead bugs on lamps and stuck in cobwebs.
I wish I could post more than 8 pictures, I took 20 of them!
I was told by the front desk they're building a new one next door that will be open in a few years. I told her they shouldn't be allowed to rent this one in the meantime. The health department needs to shut it down.
We received no refund for our 2nd night.
