Lots of fun-filled activities to do around!
Guests who stayed here didn't run out of exciting things to do! The hotel is situated near a dock where you can go kayaking, scalloping, or go on a tour with the manatees. Just ask the front desk about this and they will help you with the necessary information and reservations that you will need.
positive:
Excellent location-peaceful yet near to many shops
Aside its close proximity from the dock, Best Western Crystal River Resort is also a few minutes' walk from many well-reviewed restaurants, such as Cracker's Restaurant and Tiki Bar & Grill. In addition, the establishment is set on a peaceful, lovely part of the town.
positive:
Commendable free buffet breakfast
The free breakfast is very good according to most guests, with a wide variety of fruits, cooked meals, fine-tasting coffees, and teas. Everything you want for a desirable morning meal is available. Moreover, there's no mad morning rush here, as the dining area is spacious and foods are restocked regularly.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Various bathroom issues
Some of the guests complained that the shower and tub they have in the bathroom are cracked, and that there are mold and mildew on the tiles. Furthermore, some guests also complained about the bathrooms' small size.
negative:
Carpets need to be cleaned
You might be disappointed with the threadbare carpeting in the hallway, as some guests have felt. Some rooms even have carpeting with stains and crumbs of food from previous occupants. If the cleanliness of your room is unsatisfactory, request for a housekeeper right away.
negative:
Poor TV reception
The TV sets in the rooms display terrible pictures because of bad reception according to a few guests. When faced with this issue, call the front desk and have them send a maintenance staff to fix the broken equipment.
