King's Bay Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This motel was redone after sustaining significant flooding and it is absolutely gorgeous. The pool was a lil weird to me, but there was absolutely nothing wrong with it. I just haven't ever seen a pool like it before. Kitchen was stocked with all we needed to cook. You must clean up after yourself or you will be charged extra which is odd, but there are signs letting you know. So much space and the bed was way comfortable. Staff was awesome. Parking can be questionable if you and neighbors are all in big vehicles, but there is overflow that can be utilized. It is in a great location right on the water and you're not too far from bout anywhere you wanna go in Crystal River. This was our first stay at this motel and we were looking forward to returning before we even left. For the price and location, you just about can't do better."

Holiday Inn Express Crystal River by IHG

6/10 Okay

"For the most part this hotel was fine……one major thing turned us off! Breakfast was until 9:30. Now I am completely guilty of rolling up to breakfast 10 minutes before it ends. Honestly every other holiday inn they ask if you want anything else before they clean up. This one grabbed a bunch of hot food and threw it in the back then called the maintenance workers over to eat it. I’m all for them getting the leftovers, but give me a minute!!! The second day we got there earlier and at 9:28 as we were leaving (cause you didn’t feel welcome to linger) half of breakfast was completely cleaned up!! It was very off putting. We stayed at a different holiday inn the 6 days following and it was completely different. I also want to point out though how very kind the front desk manager was. I told her the a/c wasn’t working in the work out room. She sent someone immediately and came herself as well. She was like oh yeah this is hot! It was an easy fix (needed turned on cause no one had been in there) and she let me prop the door open to get the air moving. It is only one treadmill and one elliptical, so if you are traveling with someone that works out too you might have to adjust."

The Port Hotel & Marina

4/10 Poor

"We have stayed at this property a few years ago so we knew that this was an older hotel but it has definitely went down hill. They are building a brand new hotel right next door so I think they are doing the bare minimum maintenance and upkeep to the original hotel. Housekeeping consisted of taking your used towels and giving you new towels and that was it. Trash was never taken out. I will say the king size bed was very comfortable. There are no coffee pots in the rooms so if you are an early riser just know that coffee in the office does not open till 7am. I will give the Waterfront Social restaurant a 10/10. Great food and service. The workers in the marina shop were also very nice and helpful. Overall we love this area but will probably not book this hotel again until they get the new one built. Not worth the price tag at this point."
