Best welcome ever!
Pros:

Loved the sweet, warm, welcome treat hanging on our door. The room was modern with lovely pictures. The bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Could have used a grab bar in the shower, a comfy chair by the window, and extra lights on the mirror.

Great location, ok value, probably nicest place in Crystal River city
Pros:

Great location close to historical center and major POIs, large and very clean room with refrigerator, large bathroom with Multi-Grades shower head, a/c was effective and very quiet (probably the quietest one I have experienced in years of travel), beautiful landscaping of the entire property shows effort, thought and care

Cons:

Receptionist was overly business-like and terse rather than welcoming, sterile 6000k institutional lighting in room, refrigerator compressor was loud and rattling to where unplugging necessary to sleep, mattresses soft and cheap sounding/feeling, included breakfast is Marriott Courtyard basic which will turn off some people for the price (was fine for me, wish there had been the promised bagels there), water pressure lacking (a pity considering that property invested significantly in a multifunction shower head into the bathroom), to me somewhat expensive for what you get in the end

Loved the location and the beautiful landscaping.
Pros:

The landscape was excellent. I liked the location. Everything was in walking distance.

Cons:

Our room was nice but could have used a microwave and better seating. A table with chairs or comfortable chairs to sit in. The bed was the only place to sit.
