Categories

Cleanliness
2
Many reviews report severe cleanliness issues: roaches, mold, dirty/soiled sheets, hair and stains, sticky surfaces and unclean bathrooms. Overall cleanliness is very poor.
Service
9
Mixed but generally positive mentions of helpful and friendly staff (retrieving forgotten items, polite interactions). There are isolated negative incidents (rude staff refusing refunds, slow towel/cleaning response) but most comments praise staff assistance.
Location
9
Consistently praised: convenient location near work, stores and attractions; multiple reviewers explicitly note the location as a key positive and quiet surroundings.
Room Quality
4
Rooms are frequently described as dated, with small/uncomfortable beds, old furnishings, problematic fixtures (broken lights, noisy fridges, leaking shower fixtures) — overall below average condition.
Amenities
8.8
Some strong positives (pool close to rooms, in-room fridge/microwave available). Drawbacks include limited/absent breakfast, ice machine distance for some, pet fees and occasional amenity failures, but overall amenities (pool, appliances) are useful.
Value for Money
8.8
Several reviewers note the price was right and good value; however, extra deposits and inconsistent housekeeping reduce perceived value for some guests. Overall perceived as good value for budget travelers.
Food and Beverage
3
Generally poor: nearly no meaningful breakfast (snack-size items only), coffee pot issues in-room/office and very limited complimentary offerings reported.
Overall Experience
8.2
Mixed overall: many guests appreciate location, price and helpful staff making the stay acceptable for budget travel, but serious cleanliness and some room-condition issues weigh down the experience. Overall acceptable for some but not recommended for cleanliness-sensitive guests.

Never stay at Econo Lodge Crystal River.
Pros:

The only thing I liked was the woman that checked me in was very polite and nice.

Cons:

I didn't like how dirty everything was and the room was full of roaches stayed for about 20 minutes and then had to leave and the woman checking out was very extremely rude to me and through my receipt at me and said you can be on your way now. Said thank you for your help can I have your name and she said I'm not giving you my name just go ahead and leave. Very disappointing

Would not recommend to my dog
Pros:

Staff was very nice and location was perfect for my need.

Cons:

It was filthy, the sheets had oily stains (nice way to phase it) see photos. The towels looked like someone washed their car with them and hung back up to reuse. The mold on the bathtub was horrible.

I was raised that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all, but this hotel was dirtier then the hooker hotels.

Turrible
Pros:

Nothing, leaving

Cons:

All of it, smoke stains, lube and baby oil stains, hair in the shower and on the walls. Dirt, like a bucket of dirt.
