Hotels near Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge

"The room was clean and comfortable. The front desk staff was very friendly and helpful. "

"Continental breakfast only served until 9am. Only hot items are oatmeal and coffee. No staff on site after 10pm. Just security guard. TV was very hard to hear at full volume the first night. The next day it was fine. Thought they had a volume control set for nighttime, but front desk said they don’t. Weird! Pool area and hot tub very nice! Hotel is being renovated due to flooding in 2025. Only 1 building is currently being used. "

"Classic Old Florida! 2 lines of rooms. All with kitchenettes, plenty of room to relax and move around. Wanted to try the spring fed pool, but we ran out of time! Ospreys circled the hotel each morning. Walking trail right behind rooms. Easy walking distance to downtown. Just a great place to stay😎💯"

"Amazing view from the room and staff was great ."

"This is an odd property. First, it's a motel, which wasnt clear to me, but no problem. The motel Is difficult to find & even more annoying to park across the street at some run down motel. We tried to take the handicap spot, but there is no overnight parking for disabled. The check in woman was bizarre and semi confrontatal. We told her we planned to see the Manatees. She said there's no way we will see any & then accused the kayak company of lying. She was a weirdly hostile. The restaurant they boast of was closed on a Thursday. The room. Omg. It was so strange. The layout is so poorly designed. Office chairs & shelves. Nowhere to sit. The rooms are big, so a lot of potential squashed for a sterile & unwelcome place. You know it's bad, when a customer checking in, said , well luckily it's only one night. We could not wait to get out of there. "

"Bed is very old and hard, no sleep. Stay away from this place until the replace the beds"
