Front desk staff very friendly. Accommodated our request for a lower level room. Restaurant/tiki bar area just wonderful. Able to see manatees right by the tiki bar!! Food was very good. Only downside, rooms are very very old. Major need of updating. However, they are doing construction on 2 new buildings, so i would not hold it against them. Super location!!
Damaged entry door was insecure with large gaps around the door and marginal deadbolt engagement. Loose latch. Insufficient lighting in the room with only one reading lamp at the nightstand between the beds. There was no hot water on two of the three mornings that we stayed there. Large cockroach found on the bedspread in the evening. Great location and beautiful sunsets however. Maybe we just got a bad room.

This is our second stay at the Port Hotel. As usual, the room is older but clean. We didn't expect a 4 star hotel. But if you're looking for an "Old Florida" experience, friendly staff, perfect location, and a great view of King's Bay, this is it. They are building the new hotel next door. I don't think it will have the same charm.

This hotel is a gem! All of the staff were super nice, friendly, and helpful and our view from our room was magical! I can’t wait to go back!!
Location-Location!!! Right on the water in Crystal River. Staff is friendly at the front desk and restaurant/bar. Rent kayaks at head out to see the manatees - just around the corner. Would definitely stay again!

Staff was very responsive. We had issues with 2 doors. One was very squeaky, and the other had a hinge come off. Maintenance had fixed both doors when we later returned to our room.

You can’t call that breakfast property in need of a complete overhaul the only thing that saves it is the location

Its an older place, the back patio looking over the water is the best part.

Clean room….friendly staff. Hotel is really old, tearing it down and building a new one next door. We’ll be back for that!
Sort of mom and pop place that was forgotten about.
Good view of marina and water. Breakfast is almost nonexistent.
Convenient to everything on the water.
In the process of building new restaurant, marina office and hotel.
Employees are super nice the conditions

Great location and restaurant. Room was comfortable but we didn't have hot water for showers this morning which was rough after swimming with manatees at 32' outside! Otherwise comfortable and affordable.
