It took forever to find the place! There is no sign that's visible from the road. I drove by the motel 3 times and had to ask several people to find the place! Also, the website said it was just north of the Rainbow River. That
wrong! It's just north of some other river--but not the Rainbow River.
The room had no chairs in it. We had to specifically ask to get a chair because there was no place to sit--except for the bed. Also, no carpeting anywhere on the floors, so mud was carried in with no place to wipe dirty shoes..;..

The Internet was down entire time
We could not conduct business we needed
After 5 days ...we asked to check out early because we needed to conduct necessary business
The owner declined our request to do this
Will NEVER go back!
An employee there did their best to assist us
The owner "on vacation" declined to allow us to check out ...so we left...had to pay the room fee there AND ANOTHER HOTEL!

From the check in to check out everything was amazing. The staff are just incredible. The restaurant is very nice and scenic.

The room was very nice, only complaint would be the pillows were uncomfortable. It was nice to have the restaurant right next door. We chose Dunnellon because its close to crystal river without the more expensive room prices there.

Good location, extra clean rooms but unfortunately beat up easy chairs and sofa were a disappointment. Great staff and overall a good stay.

Beautifuly updated room but part of the reason we booked was for the easy walk to the restaurant which was not open.
