Cool old Florida hotel

It is a very cool old Florida hotel in a great location in Crystal River. It is a little dated so the humidity was not great in the rooms and it just needs a lot of updating. But they are building a new hotel right next-door which we hope to visit in the future. We did very much enjoy our stay. The staff was excellent.

No Coffee Maker in Room

Not a bad place to stay. They really need to put coffee makers in the rooms. I went down at 7:45 they were closed. The sign said open at 7:00. I called a little after 8:00 she said I ran a little late. Really? An hour was not a little late, it was a lot late. Like I said they need a coffee maker in the rooms. Otherwise, I guess I could stay again.

The grounds are currently under construction. We are very sad about the upcoming changes and sale of the grounds. The Port is a very affordable, unassuming property. We absolutely LOVE it. We have came here for years. All of the rooms have water views. We wish the old owners the best but are so very disappointed.

The hotel is pretty old so don't expect anything fancy. There is construction going on right next door so it's a little messy. The view/ setting of the hotel makes all that worthwhile. There's also a great restaurant and tiki bar right on site. It was perfect for us.

Beautiful river view

An old hotel with a beautiful view from a very spacious balcony. The room was insulated well and very quiet. It will be torn down in a few years when a "new and better" 5 story hotel is built. So sad. We will have to make another trip to Crystal River before this happens.
What a sunset!
Watching the boats and swimmers seeking the manatees.

Great view of the water, other than that, the room was poorly maintained - electrical outlets in bathroom did not work, insufficient hot water to take a shower and the tv reception worked only part of the time.

This was a one of a kind place. Had everything we needed. Even with a cold winter storm coming the view was beautiful. Restaurant and gift shop attached. All staff super friendly and helpful. 1950s charm shows through, but room was comfortable. Glad we got to stay here before the major changes comingfor this property, if only for one night.

This is the best hotel if you want to enjoy Kings Bay and see manatees. You can see them from your hotel balcony if you are lucky. It's an old hotel that's weathered storms, but it's worth your love to keep it going. They told me that it will be torn down and replaced by a bigger chain - SO SAD! Bigger will not be better! Enjoy it while you can.
