Tolle Unterkunft in bester Lage in Crystal River 🐊
Pros:

Uns hat die Sauberkeit des Zimmers, die Ausstattung des Bades und die Lage sehr gut gefallen.

Das Frühstück war typisch amerikanisch. Jedoch gab es zum Abend immer eine Geschenktüte, in der 2 frische leckere "Gipfeli" waren...toll! Die Tüte hang an der Zimmertür.

Der Garten war sehr schön und mega gepflegt.

Cons:

Gab eigentlich nix

We were comfortable and appreciated the fruit and croissants left on our door, would stay again.
Pros:

The room was clean and comfortable, with an excellent shower--once we figured t out! The surroundings were quet and the parkng safe and nearby.

Cons:

it was a rather cold feeling room, as far as decor. Nothing that reduced comfort, but the esthetics are pretty bare bones

Short overnight stay
Pros:

Fairly standard hotel breakfast
Wish we had a coffee pot or microwave in room also could have used an iron and board. Very minimalist decor
Courtyard was delightful and shady with tables and seats
Also enjoyed the “downtown “ shops and restaurants

Cons:

Gorgeous property in the heart of Crystal River with a comfortable room.
Pros:

The courtyard was beautiful, with gorgeous trees and thoughtful landscaping. The birds and little lizards seemed to love it as much as we did! We were very close to everything Crystal River has to offer. Housekeeping was great. Croissants hung on the door each night were fun. Also the breakfast offerings were sufficient to grab and go for a snack later. Each room had a fridge and two bottled waters were provided each day.

Cons:

The room was a little sterile compared to the warm welcoming outside. Also we would have liked a few more hooks to hang towels and items, and access to a microwave.

It was a nice day, but not quite what I expected. expected just a little bit more.
Pros:

The property was really cute and well done. we loved the updates. Parking was great. We unfortunately did not get a chance to try the restaurant next-door. The location was great.

Cons:

I wish hotels would put more effort into pillows. They were extremely full making it difficult to get . The breakfast room could’ve been a little bit more inviting and kept up and maybe a few more choices. There was a really odd smell in our room. I don’t know if it was old smoke. I couldn’t quite place it.
