This is our third visit in the last three months. We are very happy with this location and will be staying one more time next month. If I had to nitpick it would be for whole milk at breakfast

The rooms were very comfortable, and we really liked having the microwave and refrigerator. I appreciated the coffee machines in the lobby too. I was impressed by the friendliness of the staff as we came and went each day. This hotel it’s a great option in Crystal River even if it’s not right on the water.

Family visiting family

I really enjoyed my stay. The staff were very pleasant, friendly, and professional. From my early check- in requested and honored by Coryon to the breakfast every morning with Lacey, i thoroughly felt appreciated! Although i would highly recommend getting some more help in the morning for Lacey; the breakfast area was always packed the 2 mornings that I was enjoying myself and she tried her best to keep up but the poor lady was sweating bullets and there was still a line waiting for restock of items.

Good hotel but...

My wife and I had to come to the area to clear out a family member's house. We had stayed at this hotel previously for a night and thought a stay of a week would be fine. Check-in was super easy, and the room was clean and large. Breakfast is sufficient for a quick bite before venturing out for the day. My one complaint is housekeeping. We would leave every morning around 8AM to go work on the deceased family member's house and would return around 8PM. After spending 12 hours working, we were looking forward to a shower and a good night's rest. The first night was great but after that housekeeping would only clean the room and replace towels every other day. I checked with the desk twice and was told that was not the hotel's policy and that the room should have been cleaned every day. While the front desk seemed sympathetic to our issue, nothing changed and housekeeping was every other day. After the last instance, my wife and I left a day early. Upon checking out we explained why we were leaving and there was no explanation or compensation, just "sorry". We need to make a return trip to the area in three weeks and would like to stary here again but if we do, we will bail the first time the room is not cleaned. A positive note is that two employees, CJ and Andrea, seemed to care about conditions.

Mixed review

We were extremely disappointed that the walls were "paper thin". Unable to sleep due to a very noisy neighbor.
