Very good

If you like historical architecture and elegance without the extreme modern upgrades, I highly recommend. I always look for a place like The Crystal River Inn when I travel for a unique experience. This is a college town and the streets do get loud with chatter, but I was unbothered by it having lived in NYC for many years. The only ‘quirk’ that might be a bother is the shower head. I am 5’ 3’’ and it was directly in front of my forehead. It needs to be changed as there is a lot of calcium build up, but it got the job done. LOVED the French Press coffee I could make in my room, excellent. An employee named Regina was so kind and helpful, the staff was lovely and the text communication was perfection.

It was confusing where to go for check in or to park. Room is nice ,Bath room had a leaking toilet.
Beautiful house with character, the check-in process was very easy and convenient. The place is clean, provides toiletries and the main square is within walking distance. This home was a unique experience, a must !
Loved the decor, boutique details, cleanliness, and walkability to eateries and shops! Did not like that our west facing room was a bit warmer or the big, hard pillows.

The property was quaint and the rooms beautifully decorated. The property is a bit rundown and needs to be updated fairly soon. The beds were comfortable and the temperature good. My 2 biggest complaints are 1/ the pillows; extremely full, firm pillows that force your neck into unnatural positions. Asked for softer pillows and they do not carry any. 2/ There was no standing shower and you had to sit in the bathtub to take a shower. There was no instruction to turn on the shower and spent 20 min finally discovering a little latch behind the tub faucet not visible.
Property was great! Very convenient to everything and had everything you would need if you forgot something. Very responsive hosts and made sure we had everything we needed.
Great place to stay! Very close to campus, which is what I needed. Parking was a little confusing, but once I called and they explained it not a big deal. Highly recommend staying here very convenient to everything.
