Outdated, dirty, and lacking customer service (even the renovated sections)! Motel quality for…read moreresort price. We paid $215/night for each room for two rooms for two nights. Booked directly with hotel. This is the price of a decent room in a decent hotel. First, this place is undergoing renovations from a prior flood a few years ago (why still under renovation after so long?) - so expect nothing fancy. There was trash around the grounds and hallways. The sound traveled down the halls into the rooms because of all the tile - expect LOTS of noise. We had to call maintenance because our dresser drawers kept rolling out - they sent someone up to tape the drawers shut (classy!). This place is the quality of a Motel 6! They did not provide full service housekeeping - they only changed towels and did not straighten up or even make the beds. When I asked about this, they said they made this change recently because they lacked staff. But, the price did not change as a result. I argued that I was not informed of this on booking and since they removed this service after I booked the rooms they should charge less. The manager checked with the new owners who said they would not refund anything. Obviously they care less about customer service than making a profit. Sad. When you stay in a hotel, you should have your beds made (they don't have to change the linens, but at least make the beds). The breakfast - cold stuff, nothing special. The lady who oversaw this was very friendly though. This place is just dirty and outdated (even the so called "renovated" parts). The only good thing is it being conveniently located next to the charter boats for scalloping. I would not stay here again.

We stayed one night in a deluxe king room Valentines Day weekend because we were traveling from…read moreTampa to Ocala. The online reservation process was seamless and easy to navigate. We received another confirmation email prior to our arrival that made it clear early check-in before 3 could not be accommodated so we were careful to arrive between the check-in hours of 3-9 PM. Check-in was easy and the room was very well appointed with everything we needed. We've stayed in everything from 5-star hotels in Europe and Indonesia to very cheap motels in small towns. This hotel competes with some of the better places we have stayed. The hotel is has been renovated by the owners and matches the cute quaint vibe of the city itself, Crystal River. It is also within walking distance of shops, restaurants, and the water / boat ramps which we loved. The room came with a bottle of wine and some sweet treats which we really appreciated. Especially once we learned that getting a spot for dinner on Valentines Day in the small town was pretty much impossible. Because of this we opted to get carry out, open our wine, and enjoy the dessert left in the room. As others mentioned the room was spotless, we found the decor to be current and fresh, the bathroom was stunning, and the AC and refrigerator were perfect. We will return at the next possible time and highly, highly recommend.

I can't say enough positive things about our trip! From the moment we arrived, the staff went out…read moreof their way to make us feel welcome. Their kindness and hospitality truly made the experience even more special. The cabin was absolutely gorgeous. Every detail was thoughtfully designed, and you can tell they wanted guests to feel comfortable and pampered. Heated toilet seats? Yep! A huge spa-like shower with an oversized rain shower head? Absolutely. The beds were so comfortable that getting out of them every morning was a challenge. The private boat ramp and direct access to the Homosassa River were complete game changers. We visited during the Fourth of July weekend and opening week of scalloping season, so being able to walk out the front door, hop on our boat from the private dock, and head sstraight onto the water was incredibly convenient. After experiencing that, I honestly can't imagine staying anywhere else. As an added bonus, we had front-row seats to an incredible Fourth of July fireworks show right from our front porch. It was the perfect ending to each day. Thank you for creating such an unforgettable vacation. We can't wait to come back!

Freeze did not freeze. We enjoyed grilling out and having our dinners at the tables facing the sunset. Really nice. Overall it was a good stay with access to the water and close proximity to downtown. Old Florida !

A beautiful old fashioned motel located on the Kings Bay waterway in Crystal River. This place is…read morenostalgic because Dave stayed here with his family over 60 years ago. There are 18 units that are efficiencies. They are kept very well and have a kitchen and lovely bathroom. Everything is provided for you. There is a spring fed pool that you can swim in. The property is adjacent to the water, so you can fish or sit outside and enjoy the view. The motel is located just a few blocks from downtown and there are restaurants, gift and coffee shops. There are trails and water near by and Dave took his electric bike all over today. What a great place to visit and relax for a few days! They even let us park Pandy right across from our room! They provide grills and briquettes for their quests and there is a covered area with picnic tables where you can eat. Thank you Kings Bay for an enjoyable stay! We love supporting our local community businesses wherever we are!

I would give zero if possible…read more We rented a boat for the 1/2 day afternoon on Feb 20. They advertise the boat would be a Bennington boat. They gave us an old boat, radio didn't work, and top was extremely hard to retract which we had to do before going thru an underpass upriver. The boat acted weird but 1 hour down the river the boat completely quit! Called and they sent Todd an hour upstream (nice guy) to us. He couldn't get the boat started, so had to pull us back to their dock. So 3 hours spent on the water with only one hour of our 4 hour rental enjoyable. Todd assured us over and over they would make this right, we would not be charged, not our fault, etc. Todd did offer us another boat, but it was 3:30 and I'm sure they would not have waited for us to get our other 3 hours, I would not want to be on the river after dark! It's now March 11, we have returned to TN the end of Feb and still no credit for our broken down boat. After countless phone calls, the owner Stan finally agreed on March 6 to refund half our 300$ spent. It's now March 11 and no money has been refunded. Be careful renting from this company, and don't let them give you the old brown pontoon. If Todd had told us the policy was "no refund" we would have got another boat before we left the end of February!

There's plenty of outdoor seating, spots to have a fire and even bicycles you can rent during your stay. We stayed in the Firefly cottage that has an unobstructed view of the water from its private back porch. Every morning we received freshly ground coffee and enjoyed it on the porch watching the jumping trout and pelicans. It was really relaxing and serene. The cottage itself had everything you'd need and was super clean. Cute little kitchen area, fully stocked with plates and utensils. Bathroom with plenty of towels, toiletries and places to hang your bags. There's also a living room area with tv and queen sized bed. The cottage is so cozy and decorated with the coolest art and books. The best part are the hosts/owners. Ian and Darrin were so warm and welcoming. You can tell they love what they do. They know all the best spots in town too! The cottages are also only a 15 minute walk to town. We walked everywhere when we were there which was good considering all the tasty diner food we had.

We called Harbour Master Suites two months before we wanted to visit and the majority of rooms were…read moresold out. We snagged a room at one of their "off site" properties, blue bungalow. It was a one bed, one bathroom that had a sitting area, kitchenette, and balcony. We first noticed how clean the room was. In general, that was true but I found random pieces of hair that weren't ours in the bathroom, on the couch, and who knows where else. My toddler daughter had a long strand of someone else's hair wrapped up in her hair so if may have come from the floor or the couch. That was a little bit of a turn off. The sleep accommodations were nice. The bed was comfortable and there was more than enough room for two adults and a toddler. We loved that the porch was screened in as we enjoyed being out there. There was ample parking in a carport just below the unit. The location is great. While the town is small, this place was steps away from two breakfast spots, the local pizza restaurant, and several shops. It's also a very short walk to Dock Street, where the Harbour Master Suites office and their Dilly Dally Gally is, along with other restaurants and bars. While the place could use a little more attention to detail with cleaning, overall, we enjoyed our stay and the check-in and checkout process was quick. I would be interested to return at some point to see what the room options are like at the main site.
