If you’re looking for a great view, friendly environment, and don’t mind a place without all the bells and whistles this place is for you. Very quaint. Probably wouldn’t please the kids as much as it would a couple wanting a peaceful getaway. We’ll use it again next year.

Très belle vue de puis la chambre sur la Riviera.The only problem is still the super noisy air conditioning. This seems to be a general problem in the USA.... 5 days where we don't sleep properly because every 10 minutes the air conditioning turns on...

There were literally missing walls and insulation hanging from wall in the lobby. I tried to cancel as I felt this place was unsafe and I had children with me, they refused and blamed it on Expedia and Expedia stated that they were fine with me canceling and that the hotel refused my cancelation. Terrible experience!

Crystal River Manatees

The place is a 1950’s motel experience on the Kings Bay with coffee and donuts as complimentary breakfast. There is a restaurant and tiki bar attached which are very good and right on the water. Tour and dive boats are available to see the manatees in an area viewable from the Motel. It needs renovations, but the location is perfect for anything you want to do.

Our stay

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!
