It's right on the water and the restaurant and bar are only about 75ft from the room! Casual and laid back. Older building but very clean rooms. We will be back!

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.

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!!

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.

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.

It was a very old hotel, but the room was clean and it's in a fantastic location on the water with a tiki bar and a very good restaurant .
