10/10 Excellent
"Great place to stay while in Crystal River. Location is excellent in regards to nearby restaurants for breakfast, lunch or dinner. Located right on Kings Bay, the sunsets are always gorgeous. Rooms are very clean and large. Efficiency style accommodations allow to have the flexibility for in room meals, or use of the outdoor BBQ grills and picnic style setting under roof. For boaters (smaller craft) it is an excellent choice as there is plenty of dockage for the Lodge's guests."
