Great clean hotel only 1.7 miles to see the manatees.
Pros:

This hotel is clean, super efficient with a great staff. Cody on the front desk was amazing. Gave us good recommendations and where to go and was super friendly. We went to Crystal River to go see the manatees. This is the closest hotel.

Overall the room was great and spacious and totally worth the price. We will def come back.
Pros:

I love that the breakfast bar was open early. The variety of breakfast items covered every type of eater. 3 different types of sausage, eggs, biscuits and gravy. We were on the first floor and surprisingly the room was huge.

Cons:

The back door closing early in the morning. I was a few doors away and heard it slam. It was ok during regular hours but before 6 on the weekends may upset some people. Others in my party didn't hear it or was awakened by it. I have sensitive hearing and usually travel with earbuds.

Decent hotel and good stay!
Pros:

The beds were comfortable. The room offered a refrigerator and a microwave. The breakfast was decent and offered poached and scrambled eggs, pork and turkey, sausages, pancakes, and a variety of cereal and breads. The coffee was pretty good as well. I loved the female staff member that maintained the breakfast stations. She was attentive and friendly!

Cons:

The first day we stayed, the cleaning folks did not come in and replace the towels and clean the room. I did see a few sugar ants on the table next to the bed (honestly I did not report this but took a video). One of the elevators was not working, so folks were waiting to get where they needed to go.
