Nice short stay to see the manatees

The property is well located for seeing the manatees and there were several restaurants close by. We used the Thai Phoon, which was very good. We were also able to check in early which was helpful. Our room was clean and very nice and there was plenty of free parking.

We found it quite noisy, we could hear conversations through the walls which started at 6.00am. There was also someone playing loud music in the early hours.

Wenn Crystal-River, dann bei Tina

Tina ist ein tolle Gastgeberin. Der Check-In war unkompliziert, das Zimmer war sehr schön eingerichtet und in dem Bett haben wunderbar geschlafen! Sehr nahe bei den Manatee-Tours

Der sehr laut brummende Kühlschrank!

Sehr gut

Tina war eine sehr nette Gastgeberin. Alles war sehr familiär. Zimmer war gemütlich, sauber und wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Vieles ist zu Fuß möglich. Hätten am Check out Tag noch den ganzen Tag ohne Aufpreis unser Zimmer nutzen können. Frühstück war sehr gut. Tina hätte uns sogar nach unserer Manatee Tour noch frische Sandwichs zubereitet. Wir können das Hotel weiterempfehlen.

Peaceful and relaxing.

This place was amazing to us! The room was absolutely lovely and comfortable in all ways. Tina went out of her way to help us in any way she could. Bob, the owner, was there everyday to have wonderful conversations as well. Breakfast had many choices and very satisfying. As others have mentioned, this place has been refurbished and is continuing to add things to accommodate anything that comes up. We’ll definitely be going back for the wonderful hospitality! And let’s not forget the resident second in command,Tucker, the super Bishon. The other great thing, there are so many great restaurants nearby. Check out Yelp of ask Tina. Also great is the beautiful drive there. Whether from the North, East or South, it’s a beautiful drive. Slmodt forgot, the bed was sooooo comfortable!

Yes, the water took awhile to get to our room, but I’ve given them a fix for that. I’m sure they’ll get on it.

A great stay, clean rooms, with management very accommodating.

Beautiful Beginnings was a great place to stay! We had to find a place to stay very quickly when another family option we had in the area fell through. The manager Tina was so helpful and accommodating and set us up with everything we needed. We were there for a week and she went out of her way to make us welcome and answer any questions we had. Breakfast was served every morning and it was very good. The owner lives on-site, so is available for any questions or needs. The hotel was previously a senior memory care center that has been renovated and serves as a hotel. The rooms and bathrooms are bigger than the average room and very homey. The entire place was very clean and newly remodeled. The bed was very comfortable. The lobby and outside porch provide extra places to hang out or eat. The room had a refrigerator, with a nice size freezer. Main entrance doors had a security code providing a great feeling of safety. We had an excellent stay and were sad to leave at the end of the week, we felt like family while there. Manager Tina and Owner Bob made it a great week for us. Would definitely stay there again and recommend it to others.

The water in the shower took a little long to heat up, but once it did it was great. Good water pressure.

It was a very Interesting set up,but not too bad.

Breakfast was great. Rooms are not insulated at all, so we were noisy,but so we're the other people across from us. I just didn't complain!!!!

It was like staying in an art gallery. Paintings lined the walls that mostly came from the owner's travels. The continental breakfast was very good. We were treated like family.

Little hidden gem

The place is super clean and the beds are Tempur-Pedic. The continental breakfast is set up so wonderful and the decor is amazing. But the best is how wonderful Tina and Bob are. Some of the nicest people we have met. Tina does an excellent job and keeping everything in order. Tina is a true gem!!!!! Bob was so wonderful to talk to. Both know the area very well and lots of great recommendations. We can't wait to go back!!!!!

Nothing. All was wonderful.
