Love this place. There's not many left like it. It has a mom and pop feel to it. Great staff, great location, rooms and building are dated. There's a bar and restaurant connected to the hotel. Jet skis, boats, kayaks are available for rent. Manatee tours available too. Loved it. It will be gone soon though. They are building a new hotel and restaurant nextdoor. Once construction is complete the current hotel and restaurant will be demolished.
We had to switch rooms because toilet was broken. Next room the toilet hummed all night keeping is awake. The shower head leaked. The toilet barely flushed. Thought it was going to overflow everytime Iit was used. There was mold over on the ceiling and walls by the shower. Pillows were were very flat. Had to leave and return to checkout because no one was at the desk. Hand towels were damp in room

Great location. On site bar and restaurant were great. Awesome views out window on private deck. Rooms could use updates
I liked the old school feeling. There was even an actual key for the door. View is amazing of the water and manatee sanctuary, very quiet and peaceful place to relax. Property was under construction because of flooding from the last hurricane. My feet got dirty very quickly on the floor in our room. Worst part was it advertised free breakfast but did not have any. I would definitely stay there again though.
The view out off our balcony of King’s Bay was absolutely perfect! This is what you want when you think of “old Florida” motels. Great staff, great location, boat ramp/docks onsite. Perfect! Just hope it’s still standing after hurricane Helene…
We waited 1 1/2 hours for the person working the front desk to show up for work and check us in. When she was called she said she would be there in 20 minutes and that turned into 40 minutes with every excuse.
I liked the price as it was cheaper than the hotel that we usually stay at. What I did not like was all of the hidden fees that you are hit with if you take a boat. Then to top it off you have to pay another amount to be able to park your boat. This should be listed on the site as well.
Look it’s an old building, but great location on the river and a great manatee swimming experience in the same building!

The property views and location are fabulous. The price is right for the conditions you get. If you like the finer things this isn't for you but if you don't mind outdated, it's cool. The bed was very good which was great.
