The Port Hotel And Marina Crystal River, Crystal River

I was delighted with my stay at the hotel. The room, although a bit dated and with a broken shower valve, offered a lovely view of Crystal River, which made it stand out from the typical modern constructions. The location is excellent, being right on the Crystal River where manatees winter, and the value for money is unbeatable.

I felt like my room was more like a suite with a couch, a fridge, and a microwave in one room and the king-sized bed in another, along with a patio having a table and chairs outside the sliding glass door. Despite some dated aspects and a broken shower valve, causing water to run continuously, my stay was not ideal. However, the spacious layout was a plus.

I couldn't have asked for a better location for my stay. The hotel is right on the river, offering stunning views and allowing me to sit and watch the sunset over the nearby island. The rooms, although in need of some updating, were very clean and provided a comfortable stay. However, there was a noticeable smell of stale smoke lingering, which was a downside to an otherwise pleasant experience.
