Needs a facelift
We checked in and got to our room on the 2nd floor which had a very musty odor. I went to wash my hands in the bathroom and felt a drop of water on my neck. I looked up to see that the ceiling was cracked and leaking. We reported this to the front desk and they changed our room. Now we weee on the 1st floor. The toilet had debris or stain in it. We told the front desk and they sent someone to check it. It seemed to be some kind of paper that had gotten stuck. We stepped outside to the patio and it was very untidy. The chairs were dusty and the small table dirty. We cleaned them and enjoyed a little rest before going out to the pool. The grounds were very pretty and you could tell that this place had been a beautiful resort once. It has a lot of catching up to do. The staff from front desk to tiki bar to maintenance were all great, which is why we overlooked some things. We washed up only using the sink because the bath tub surface was horrible. Room 128. Also they must have a very big issue with mold as there was a humidifier in the room. Interior doors leading from the different wings to the lobby were shabby. The rooms we saw seemed to have been newly decorated and very nice.

Storm stay
The service was amazing but we stayed during the storm so all facilities were flooded and our purpose for the trip (manatees) couldn’t go ahead. Not the hotels fault but due to this is couldn’t rate the facilities.

Quaint hotel, beautiful pool area on the river, TIKI bar. Excellent food. Helpful staff. But there wasn't an elevator in our building but a staff member voluntarily brought our luggage up. Overall a beautiful place that could use some refreshing in some areas.

Nice location but not very clean
The hotel is in a nice location but it’s not the cleanest place. My room wasn’t ready at 4pm check-in time and others arriving same day had to wait around as well.

We stay here every year during scallop season and we bring our boat. The property is located in freshwater area with all the amenities you could want after a day on the water. The staff is always friendly and helpful. The pool is always clean and well-maintained and well stocked with towels. A very family friendly resort and we choose this area over Homosassa to the south. Crystal River is more of a family friendly venue whereas Homosassa to the south is more of an adult party venue. is it a five star kiss your butt Resort? No. It has more of an old-school Florida feel with everything you could want for a few days or a week on the water.

Well, to start we were greeted with a urine aroma when we walked into our room. My family would have checked out when that happened and gone somewhere else but being the 4th of July, all was sold out. The first night we called the front desk when we noticed we only had two (very small) bath towels for four people. I wanna say I called 4-5 times and got no answer. That happened on all three of our nights there. Each night I ended up driving to the front desk. First night, she tells me that they are out of bath towels but she can give me pool towels. No big deal. I get back to the room and my son is freezing so I tried calling again for a blanket, no answer. I wasn’t driving up there again. He was freezing for two nights because we had a second similar experience when trying for a blanket night two. We also had to get toilet paper from Winn Dixie because the room wasn’t cleaned and when I mentioned they said I would need to request it. Mind you, this was on one of my drives to the front desk because they don’t answer the phone. The hallways are all tile which is obviously easier to clean and prevents wet carpet smelling moldy. However, it created a very loud environment where you could hear every word of all the people going to and from their rooms. This went on all day and night. Overall, it’s gonna be a never again for us. There was also a sign saying that the pool was closed the next day. We weren’t there for the pool but I would’ve been real pissed if we were.

Someone that works at this property posted a room with "Multiple Beds and kitchenette" on Expedia at $163.00 per night. Being that we were 4 gentlemen it was a great deal-we were surprised at the price but we thoughted maybe this unit is not renewed yet since most of the property floors were changed recently. Upon arrival, the room was "not available/non existent." After waiting until 5 PM, they gave us a room with two queen beds for 4 guys and no kitchenette. One of us left, the other one slept on a horrible rollaway. Today they put us in a room with 3 beds (we had to change rooms) but they should have given us 2 rooms from the beginning -we are paying $800 for 3 nights and if someone made a mistake, they should have comp. a room to save this review. We stay here because of the boat ramp, the floors are new but the rest is not. First night we found dripping mold from the room upstairs in one of the closets, hair in the bathroom. Best part: pool and tiki bar..we will have fun anyways!

Very nice location entrance is beautiful. Some broken furniture around the pool and other broken items throughout the hotel should just be removed. Pool also needed maintenance cleaning etc. The boat rental went smoothly, and was a nice addition to our weekend. If you’re going into the springs kayak is recommended. All employees are pleasant and helpful.
