Best Western Crystal River Resort

I enjoyed staying at this hotel for our scalloping trip. We stayed during week so not too busy. The breakfast was very good. I don’t like double beds or old hotel rooms, but for this area that is what you get. I will say it was very clean and staff was friendly. less

The location is great, right on the water with a board walk to Crackers and water front, sit on the benches watch the boats, birds and beautiful sunsets. Short walk to many things stores, shops and restaurants including Citrus ave. Rooms are clean good size and comfortable, staff are friendly and nice, and breakfast is included. My only complaints are with the breakfast it would be nice if they didn't serve plain scramble eggs every day, maybe add cheese and ham or maybe make up some omlets, plus serve fresh O.J., come on you're in Fl. and please put the TV on local news and weather not Fox news maybe some people like it but lots of people including me, we don't want to hear their B.S. Every time I'm in the area I enjoy my stay at the Crystal River B.W. less

This hotel resort is an excellent bargain and in an excellent location! The rooms are standard hotel rooms and are spread out over five buildings on the property. Two of the back wings have views of King's Bay from the walkway. The pool is small but nice and there is also a hot tub on the pool deck. There is a boat launch, boat trailer parking and a dive shop on the premises that also rents kayaks, SUPs and pontoon boats. The staff was very friendly and the premises were spotlessly clean. The hot breakfast was plentiful and they vary the hot items daily. The weekend we were there it was mostly families and was very quiet. The location is excellent as you can walk to the cute little downtown Crystal River and also several nearby restaurants. This resort sits about mid Bay so it's also an easy paddle (about 30-45 mins) to Three Sisters Spring or Banana Island/ King Spring and maybe 20 minutes to Hunter Spring. I've stayed at other area hotels, including Plantation, and I feel this is the better deal and location! less

Best Western was a great place to stay for weekend. On Crystal River next to Crackers(restaurant and tiki bar) so chose your room carefully. We actually had a room in the building that is next to the tiki bar and had no problem with noise. The pool is nice and the deck is supplied with lounge chairs to sit and watch the river activity. The hotel offers a boat dock and boat ramp if you bring a boat. The ramp is tight but we saw several larger boats launch from there. Staff was nice and the free breakfast was very good. Included waffles, eggs, sausage, yogurt, cereal,oatmeal etc. lots of choices. There is a deck you are able to walk around on towards the tiki bar where there was live music being played. The hotel also offers gas grills and covered picnic tables by the water is you choose to use them. We definitely enjoyed our stay and will return again less

Good accommodations at a reasonable price. Wish rooms were on the waterfront, but at least it was walkable. Also close enough to walk was Crackers restaurant/bar and an ice cream shop. Loved the pool and loungers on the waterfront. Nice area to grill in the shade. Had a launch for our kayak too! less
