Old, and not comfortable beds. TV outlet, and bathroom outlet not safe. Stairs and no elevator. No ice in ice machine. Very quiet room. Great balcony to watch sunset.
This place is very nice. The rooms are dated and the floors were dirty. Otherwise, very friendly staff and an excellent view from our room with a balcony. The pluses far outweighed the negatives. We would stay again!
We had a room right on the water and saw a beautiful sunset. There is a wonderful restaurant and Tiki bar next door to the hotel. Unfortunately, the Marriott has bought the property and it is currently under construction. In another year or so, the original hotel (where Elvis stayed during filming of a movie) will be gone. Overall, would stay again even if it is a Marriott!

Nice effort, but the construction was a frustrator. Very nice staff and considering the place is being replaced, it was acceptable.
Very clean and authentic to the old style hotels.
Even came with 2 rc colas and 2 moon pies
Fresh donuts every morning
Very friendly staff
Definitely would stay again
Stay was great!! It’s an older Florida hotel but very clean. Staff is friendly. Location is close to everything in town.

Place is old. Room was clean only made up 1 of the four nights I was there. The location is spectacular and the Waterfront Social Tiki Bar and Grill adjacent made up for other misgivings.

Ok as a one night hotel, but not for several days. Great location for lake/water activities if you use the marina which was steps away. Older and outdated hotel.
Room was terrible. Holes in walls patched with drywall compound. A new Marriott is being built next door and this place will be torn down when the other is finished. This place is being neglected. View was only good thing about room.

Great location and beautiful view. Last minute reservation. The area was under construction as a new hotel is being built. We stayed in the old hotel. Which was still a great stay. Restaurant and Tiki Bar were great. And of course the Manatees!!

They are currently doing renovations and the rooms are in need of an upgrade. We didnt even have hangers for the closet. The view and location were good.
Location on the water is pleasant and has a nice marina view and is very convenient for kayaking and swimming with manatees. The hotel is old and needs work but it was clean and the bed comfortable. The TV remote did not work so had to turn it off on the TV and couldn't watch TV. The very nice receptionist had no clue how to fix it. Very nice to have a connected restaurant which had pretty tasty food and good service. Connected dive center rented kayaks and wet suits and has manatee tours. Very nice folks.
This property would be perfect, but it has been kept in the 1980s with updates! It. is in desperate need of a rehab! The very old steps going up to the room were wooden and both my husband and I are large people it was concerning that it might not hold us. The old school room key should have been a message to us but we continued to go in. The room was clean, but the amenities were subpar. The bathroom was at one time glazed over with a cover over the tub that was peeling off with mold under the peel. 2 very worn towels, 1 wash cloth was just not adequate. The only redeeming quality of this poor hotel was the back deck overlooking the Crystal river! Never will we return to this Hotel!
