The Port Hotel And Marina

If you're going to Crystal River for a manatee tour and want a convenient hotel with great access to the water, this place is a great deal.

My Family and I would stay here again.

Unless you like shabby, go elsewhere.

I would definitely stay here again. There were friendly people when we checked in and at the restaurant. The room was clean and housekeeping did an excellent job. It was a good feeling to be able to see the view of the King's Spring from the balcony of our room and watch the sunset.

I LOVED the view. I enjoyed the bar and the water. Nice big patio to enjoy the weather. The room however smelled very weird. We had to open the doors to keep the air moving. The staff was friendly and helpful. Felt like I knew them personally by the end of my stay.

The hotel is in a beautiful location, but it is in dire need of renovation. The hotel appears to be very old and it has never been updated. The rooms have window AC/heat units. The carpet is old. The bed and the furniture is old. This could be a great hotel if the owner would put some money into it.

This was a nice, quaint hotel that is adequate. As mentioned above, the carpet was old thus causing musty odors. With a little work, this hotel could be brought up to snuff. The bed was very nice.

While quaint and conveniently located to the spring and gulf. This hotel has room for much needed improvements. Most of the staff were very friendly and eager to assist. However if you eat at the Ale house request to not have Joe as your server. And if you choose to sit out at the tiki bar for drinks make sure to bring the bug spray. Other than that its worth what you pay for a bed to sleep in while playing in the wonderful springs located all around the area. ...read more

My spouse and I had an amazing trip. One of the best ever. We saw several manatees, caught a ton of fish, enjoyed the laid back ambiance of the hotel, and greatly enjoyed the food and drink specials, and the members of the staff. The dive shop is great. I would definitely recommend renting a Jon boat for a few hours each day.
