    Beautiful area, with a lot to explore.

    Beautiful area, with a lot to explore. My schedule only allowed 1/2 day. I would recommend visiting mid-week, NOT during Spring break. I rented a kayak for 3 hours from Hunter Springs Kayaks (highly recommend them!), with the intention of swimming with manatees. I only saw 1 manatee while swimming, plus a couple more from the kayak, since it was late in the season for seeing manatees. Next time I'll plan on visiting earlier in the season, midweek

    Crystal River is an adorable little beach town full of nature loving people, artists, veterans, and retirees. We had a wonderful time there snorkeling with manatees, boating, kayaking, and exploring Heritage Village. Highly recommended for a long weekend trip.

    Three sisters spring was very nice saw a lot of manatees and the trails were nice. Parking was limited. Kayak rental was pricey and not worth it. We did see manatees but the bay was crowded the water murky until you got near the springs. Would not recommend kayaking in the bay and channels. There are much better places to kayak . If you love seafood eat at the Crab Plant. Casual dining with great food and a big variety of fresh caught seafood.

    Crystal River is the most beautiful little town we have ever visited. Everything is manatee-themed, even down to some of the streetlights! There are lots of things to do, especially if you love nature and wildlife. Scalloping, hiking, swimming with manatees, and kayaking just to name a few. There are also lots of great dining options available, especially the seafood! It is a cultural hotspot as well, with lots of murals, galleries, museums, and historical sites to see. We will definitely be back and hope to stay longer next time.

    The best birthday vacation.

    The best birthday vacation. Main goal was to snorkel with manatees. Was able to pack a lot of activities into each day since towns are so close together. The best place for outdoor activities and water activities. Lots of history. Many parks and trails for walking. hiking, or biking. The locals are so nice and engaging. They make you feel welcome, and the few times I drove anywhere I did not encounter impatient or rude drivers. They just move around you and ignore the pokey tourist. Such a nice place to visit and they make you feel safe there. And lots of fresh seafood!

    I usually only pick hotels that have excellent reviews. This one had a few negative reviews, hence I debated quite a bit and booked it only due to the lack of other better options. I have to say it is a great place and I would go back. The property is very big and right on the water. Nice spacious room. Pool with bar open till late. Restaurant on site open for dinner and lunch. Nice staff. Tours and rentals on property. We stayed only one night, but it deserves a longer stay. So much to do in the area and at the hotel itself.

    This was such a great find. My husband and I planned a last minute getaway to Crystal River for scalloping. We found this spot and booked a room. From the time we arrived to our last day the owner and his business partner, Tina were extremely gracious and accommodating. Clean, charming atmosphere and comfy room and bed with private bath. This place was a senior living facility that they are converting into a hotel inn and they are doing a great job. I’m recommending this place to everyone! Great price too!!

    I've been travelling the States for a few weeks now and this is only the second place that has had the hot water hot enough for how I like my showers. I loved that I finally got a steamy shower! The bed was comfortable and it was quiet, which made falling asleep no problem. The staff helped me by finding more businesses when I had trouble finding a taxi that was available for a morning pick up. Their help meant I was able to get to my early morning tour. I definitely would recommend this hotel.

    We are boaters and having the convenience of a boat ramp behind the motel was great. Plus there is a Denny's right next door for a good hardy breakfast or whatever meal you are craving. The area is terrific for scuba diving with the manatees, paddle boarding, canoeing, fishing or just some good swimming. Life is good at Crstal River and Days Inn by Wyndam in Crstal River, Fl. Makes it happen!😊

    Great location next to the Crystal River. Comfortable newly furnished room. Lovely pool and hot tub, a great spot to relax and watch the activity on the river. Hired a kayak, and went on a snorkelling trip both booked very easily through Captain Mike's (on site) when we arrived. There's a few bars and restaurants within a short walk from the hotel, so you don't need to jump in the car.

    We absolutely loved our stay- the room was beautiful, the location was perfect, we loved the garden on the hotel grounds and the nearby parks. Breakfast pastries were delicious, and everyone who helped us during our stay provided such wonderful hospitality- Our stay at Crystal manatee was honestly the hi-light of our trip.

    Everything you’d expect from an Econolodge. A smoky cigarette haze to the room, a strong sewer smell in the bathroom, a squeaky bed & an inoperable ice machine. But, the A/C was ice cold, the fridge was clean & working perfectly, the showers were nice & hot, and they are the best rate in Crystal River.

    The room was fine and comfortable beds ...we did not have housekeeping but suppose for only 2 night stay that was to be expected. The breakfast was fine and could have been a little better but it was fine. Overall the best was the location to Crystal River right off the highway was great! Thank you!

    Great stay with two young kids thanks to the heated pool. Hotel was is much better shape than expected (some bad reviews, but I think, there were already some renovations). Nice atmosphere with the little Tiki Bar. We all loved it, you can really give it a try.

    This hotel is right on the Crystal River, so the view and location is excellent. It is a somewhat tired, old hotel, but the location makes up for the age and tired looking facilities.
