    We stayed at Hampton Inn Crystal River before an early morning trip to swim with manatees. There was construction on the road in front of the hotel and because it was dark when we arrived I missed the turn in the first time but was able to turn around and found the entrance on the second time. Check in was quick and the staff was friendly. We noticed immediately upon entering that the hotel was very clean. We headed to the elevator and to our room. We got a room with 2 queens and it was clean and comfortable and there was enough room for the 4 of us. Because we were only staying overnight we didn't bring too much. IMO the bathroom can make or break a hotel room. I was happy to see that it was extremely clean. The beds, bedding, and pillows were all comfortable. We didn't eat the complimentary breakfast in the morning as we'd packed breakfast bars so we could eat on the go. We did have coffee, lol and it was freshly brewed and hot! Bottom Line; If you're looking for a hotel close to the manatee trips, this is a great option.

    King suite, room 423.

    Great, comfortable hotel when visiting Crystal River. We had a King Suite which was quite spacious and nicely appointed. Sofa, upholstered chair, huge desk/work station, TV, two large windows, 5 lamps, bar area with mini fridge, microwave and sink. Our room was number 423. Near end of hall and towards back of building. Very quiet room. No road noise. Breakfast buffet is closed. Breakfast is available for morning pickup and includes a breakfast sandwich, granola bar and orange juice. Complimentary, self-serve coffee in lobby. Highly reccomend.

    when i arrived at this hotel, i was told that my valid room reservation had been canceled??? that was a bold faced lie as my paid for reservation was not cancelled by me or my coworker who made the reservation!!!!!!! i will never do business with this hotel chain ever again. they overbooked and someone with this hotel decided that i would have no room. do not stay here. do not trust this hotel. who knows if they will decide to cancel your reservation because they just want to. this hotel is crooked and should not be supported with your hard earned money file:///var/mobile/library/sms/attachments/da/10/aede077e-f901-4c9e-99d6-9ab2b3239d73/img_5533.heic trip typebusiness

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.

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!

We arrived in the…read moreevening and were ready to get settled, find dinner and go to bed because we had to be next door for our tour at quarter of 6 in the morning. Check in was quick and I appreciated them switching us to a suite because we had 3 adults and two kids. It was a little more comfortable with the pull out couch and a little table to sit at. Right away we discovered that the toilet was not functional and called the front desk. We told them we were going to grab dinner and to please send someone over. They did but there wasn't much the maintenance woman could do at the moment. She promised to have a plumber in while we were out in the morning. I wasn't happy about 5 people in a room without a toilet that would flush more than liquid, but we made due for the evening. After the plumber came it was slightly better, but not the way it should be. Luckily we were out of the hotel most of the time so we didn't make a fuss and the lobby bathroom wasn't far if needed. While the staff was helpful, the place wasn't up to par. It's a Best Western so you don't expect much but the place is pretty dingy and needs some cleaning and upgrades. They're still getting decent money for the location and they seem to be floating on that alone.

Now, what I will say that was nice was the friendliness of the staff and the location (it's in the centre of town). However, considering that Crystal River is a very small town to begin with, any other hotel would be fine. The room we stayed in was moldy. I mean, EXTREMELY moldy. We had to buy Damprid just to get through 3 days. And, I don't know how they did it, but it was more humid in the room than outside. To add on, the floors were dirty as hell. Like, dirtier than a dog that's been playing in mud. And, the bathroom was nasty! For ~$225 a night, NOT WORTH IT.

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!
