This was a very family friendly place to stay. We loved that it had a pool, was in the water and had a cafe on site. They also offer bagged breakfasts which was really nice. The room was nicely decorated.

The location is very good. It’s right on the water and close to bars and restaurants. The bad …room with 2 beds … beds are very small…tiny TV. It’s like an old motel and put lip stick on a pig. Toilet rocks back and forth. AC took all night to cool the room. There are no curtains and the wood shutters let in so much light all through the night it was hard to sleep. And to believe Wyndham charges 30000 points a night for this and calls it a trademark collection property. What a shame. June 2025

The Lodge description was misleading. Implies waterfront rooms availble-- most expensive room overlooks mowed grass. Suite had had very poor furnishings and bed. Full breakfast was a muffin, fruit bar and small water bottle in a bag. VERY disappointing for a Wyndham property.

This property was amazingly nice and clean. The housekeeping kept the rooms very clean and well stocked with hygiene items, towels, and coffee supplies. Everything is within walking distance from the pool, tiki bar for drinks, restaurants and gift shops. Also the beds were very comfy. I would definitely come back to visit again.

This property was very nice. It was in a great location. The new Tiki Bar and the pool area are a great addition and the water adventures building will be fabulous when it is complete. This was an older hotel but they have kept it nice. I would suggest sprucing up the bathrooms and upgrading to queen beds instead of full. The staff at every part of this facility was wonderful. They were all very friendly and willing to assist in any way that they could.

This stay was just overnight following a celebration of life for a dear friend in Crystal River. Having access to the pool and hot tub the following morning was a bonus that I really needed.

Chose the hotel for convenience- on the water, could walk to a restaurant, and close to a bike trail we planned to explore. Didn’t realize the restaurant would have live music you could hear in the room. Added to a very loud air conditioner, not the most relaxing evening but overall, good value and we’d try it again with a different room

Great location

Stayed one Sunday night before flying back to UK. Very good location, walking distance to shops, restaurants and Hunter Springs Park for a swim. Customer service excellent - able to have late checkout so we could shower and change before heading to Tampa airport, really appreciated.
