We had an excellent stay at The PaddleTails Waterfront Lodge. The room was comfortable and well-kept, with a great ambience that made it easy to relax. The location is perfect — peaceful, scenic, and close to everything in Crystal River. The staff was professional, friendly, and always willing to help.

The hotel itself is nice but the rooms need some help. The beds slide across the room with any type of movement, the floor wasn't super clean, and there is a lack of convenient of outlets. But the location of the hotel combined with the pool/tiki bar area is exceptional and for that alone I'd recommend the hotel.
