Best Western Crystal River Resort

This property was clean, had a free coffee bar and paid cafe in the lobby. It also shares this property with the manatee swimming tour we came here for. On the back side of our rooms was the Crackers restaurant the front desk associate recommended and we ate there all 3 nights! Everything we did was within a 2 minute walk, including the pool and dock to overlook the water. Everything was clean and updated.

Location was very convenient to restaurants and sights. Tour booking center on sight was great. Boat tours were located right behind the hotel. Staff was wonderful. Very helpful with suggestions regarding restaurants and places of interest. Nice clean room. Comfortable beds. Really enjoyed the “Grab and Go” snack bag that was supplied every day. Nice coffee bar in the lobby. Strong Wi-Fi connection.

Cleanliness of room. Size of room. Kitchenette. Balcony. Staff Friendliness. Loved it.

The staff was so friendly and helpful in providing recommendations for activities, restaurants, and drinks in the area. They also had a free breakfast and a cute little coffee shop on site. I liked that there were several buildings on the property and it wasn't set up as a big chain hotel. I also loved that it was right by the water where they had several chairs out on a patio so you could drink your coffee and watch the boats. Additionally, there was a swimming adventures company right across the street and there you could set up many water activities and access straight from the hotel. The room was large and clean but the walls/building seemed a little outdate (stucko or whatever that material is). But then again, maybe just because it was FL?... I felt it was centrally located, awesome restaurant literally right next door from the hotel. I will definitely be booking here again for any future travels that take me to that part of Florida!

Property was very clean and you could tell the rooms had been renovated in recent years. I wish they offered bigger beds. The full size beds in the double rooms was a bummer. They were comfortable though, and the rooms were clean. There seemed to be a humidity problem in our room. A big bucket of Damp Rid was kept on top of the closet. The A/C seemed to work really well though and kept our room cool. Location is key here. They offer a private boat ramp you can utilize, but it is on the smaller/tighter size, fyi. Would be amazing if there were boat slips you could leave your boat overnight, but they do have docks you can tie off for a short while and a dirt lot to park your boat trailer. Kids loved the pool! There are also multiple restaurants within walking distance. Bayside Kraft Kitchen was absolutely delicious. Def recommend! Overall, I really enjoyed our stay and would return again.
