"Its hard to find a cheap hotel that makes you worry when statung there because its either ghetto or dirty but i was very happy with the stay the only thing i could complain about was that the television was kinda small and like most bathrooms they have that garbage design that has one knob. Other than that the staffin the morning and at midnight were friendly. The beds were comfortable and the floor was clean unlike alot of hotels."

"The property was located in a nice quite neighborhood, it had all a family of six needed to be extremely comfortable. The only negative would be you should have t.v in each room and the living room tv should be larger, and you should provide box fans atleast one. Other than that perfect. Oh by the way your a/c needs gas it really doesnt keep the house as cool as necessary."

10/10 Excellent

"The staff went over and above to make sure our stay was a good one. "

Plantation Resort on Crystal River

6/10 Okay

"It's trying!!!! It looks like it truly has seen better days but, it was a last minute decision for us as we traveled through the area. The price was very good and at one time, the property must have really been beautiful. Unfortunately, the buildings are out dated, and the construction is also. When I say, they are trying, it's because you can tell that they are trying to spruce the place up. New flooring, new windows (in some areas). The hotel itself is multiple buildings and they only had one that they are using at this time. Everything in the common areas was dirty. Stains in the main hallway that could have easily been mopped up but were there when we checked in and there when we checked out. The sound echoed throughout the rooms and hallways. You could hear the people talking in the room next door, toilets flushing, etc. No modern features for electronics like USB ports in the plugs or lights. The room we had, did not have new windows and there was mold all over the outside of them. I was told by a neighboring business that they hotel was recently sold to a major chain and they will be coming in and redoing the entire thing. If that is true, they will have one absolutely stunning property"

Retreat at Crystal Manatee

6/10 Okay

"This is an odd property. First, it's a motel, which wasnt clear to me, but no problem. The motel Is difficult to find & even more annoying to park across the street at some run down motel. We tried to take the handicap spot, but there is no overnight parking for disabled. The check in woman was bizarre and semi confrontatal. We told her we planned to see the Manatees. She said there's no way we will see any & then accused the kayak company of lying. She was a weirdly hostile. The restaurant they boast of was closed on a Thursday. The room. Omg. It was so strange. The layout is so poorly designed. Office chairs & shelves. Nowhere to sit. The rooms are big, so a lot of potential squashed for a sterile & unwelcome place. You know it's bad, when a customer checking in, said , well luckily it's only one night. We could not wait to get out of there. "
