Plantation Resort on Crystal River ★★★

"Besides, 80% of the resort is being shut down and not accessible due to the storm damage from 2 years ago, which was not posted online. There were no amenities besides a pool with no bathroom. Because nothing has been repaired yet. The room smelled so bad for mildew and mold. The shower water was so unbearably hot, We could not take a shower, I had to switch rooms. It was still unbearably hot. I would not recommend this resort to anybody truthfully. It needs to be knocked down and rebuilt. The golf course is fabulous, except the Clubhouse is still under repair from the storms, and they had porta-potties up for bathroom use. No temporaryclubhousepublic bathrooms. I do not use a nasty porta potty."

PaddleTail Waterfront Lodge, Trademark Collection by Wyndham ★★

"Good location of a tired motel. Breakfast massive disappointment after we had booked and paid extra to include breakfast we were given a "complimentary" doggy bag of a cheap chewy bar, muffin, apple and tiny water bottle given to everyone ( only enough for a child ). No complimentary coffee in breakfast/reception area at breakfast in time. Best to bring your own or go hungry"
