My stay at this hotel was actually quite pleasant. The room I got was nice and had everything I needed, but it was a bit overpriced, especially for a Thursday night during school vacation time. On the plus side, it had a separate bathtub and shower, which is not something you typically see in this price range. However, the room didn't hold its temperature very well.

The location was quite convenient, right off the road from I-75 and just a few minutes away from King's Bay and Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge. It's perfect if you're interested in seeing manatees or being out on the water. Additionally, it's close to manatee swim tours, the segway tour, and plenty of restaurants.

The dining experience was pretty good overall. The eating area was spacious, and they had a variety of tasty options that changed daily, as well as hot choices like eggs and sausages. However, I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't open to hot food, as I was craving something warm.
