"Terrible. Ended up spending another $1,600 last minute to stay elsewhere. This is not an air bnb or anything similar. It’s is one child size bedroom in a rude old lady’s house. It is intentional false advertising. The “shared bathroom” clause is supposed to have you assume you will be sharing the place with the elderly woman that lives there and whatever guests she has in another room. She called us that day and corrected our grammar and was very rude. Upon arrival, we walked past a living area...

"We had to book at the last minute and I mean like 5 mins. Long story BUT this place was perfectly located. The room was nice and clean. The staff super nice! Shout out Ethan! The property is under renovations but that didn't interfere with our stay. We will be back and excited to see all the new renovations."

Holiday Inn Express Crystal River by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"I am a world traveler. I made an error as to my departure date and I needed to stay an extra day. The front desk rebooked my stay, for 1 more day, with a seamless effort, by just saying we will take care of it for you. Breakfast was very good. a well-maintained pantry. My room was spotless and best of all, it was located at the end/rear of the 1st floor hallway. Gess what! No elevator noise, No ice machine noise. No pantry noise. No front desk check-in chatter. No coffee/snack chatter. And best of all the maintenance dept. office was directly across the hall...never heard a noise of their comings and goings. Very clean interior and comfortable room, and the common areas. The exterior areas are wall painted and the shrubbery are in excellent shape. Just let me say. Grate folks doing a super job. I will return as often as I can. E F Ianuzi"
