This place was super cute! Big room (fridge even has a freezer), bed was super comfortable, and the croissants at check in was a nice touch. Loved the location too. The thing that sucked was the late fee I got charged for checking in at 930pm. There was no mention of this anywhere, and even though I messaged the staff to keep them aware of my issues & delay due to travel, they never responded, and didn’t waive the fee. Be warned if you’re arriving after 9 whether it’s planned or unplanned.

Walking distance to the town, little shops, restaurants and cafes. They do not do early check ins or late check outs. There’s continental breakfast and they give you pastry’s at your door after dinner.

Very clean, upscale design, lovely grounds and excellent location. Small refrigerator, in the room, but no coffee maker. They offer a nice breakfast area, near the office which is accessible and has coffee. They provided fresh croissants, in a bag hanging on our door in the morning, which was a nice touch.

You're paying for LOCATION here mostly!! This little inn is convenient to King's Bay and other spots in Cystal River. The bed(in a "deluxe King room") was horrible. A really thick foam mattress topper was not comfortable AT ALL. $150 'security deposit' was required upon check in...because the room had some nice furniture in it. On the plus side -each morning a bag with croissants was attached to the door..that was nice. Pricey for the accommodations offered IMO, but walking distance to everything downtown. Amy's Cafe' was wonderful and their staff is delightful!

Cute little hotel with great artistic pieces throughout. Loved that we could walk to the nearby shops and restaurants. We were in town to see the manatees at Crystal River, which was only a couple minutes away, so perfect.
