The Crystal River Inn

Excelente service friendly staff. Beautiful property with big rooms very comfortable. Breakfast was very tasty and delicious.

Hotels.com misled the advertisement and failed to mention this was a bed and breakfast. I would never stay at a bed and breakfast as my mom passed away in a hospice recently and it was extremely painful. Also the conditions of this building were not like the photos. I did not stay longer than 5 minutes so didn’t have time to take photos. There wasn’t a shower only a bath. The building was also a barber shop! It had an old musty smell and extremely run down.

We love staying here at the Crystal River Inn San Marcos. The owners always go above and beyond our expectations with their warm welcome and hospitality. This was our second trip staying at this beautiful home. We celebrated our anniversary and my birthday here. Our room was very comfortable, we thoroughly enjoyed the library in our room and the big king bed was very comfortable. This particular weekend was the fun, very suspenseful murder mystery weekend. We met new friends, ate scrumptious food and the entertainment was amazing! Owners Cathy and Mike Dillon made sure my birthday was memorable with a surprise birthday cake. We highly recommend staying at The Crystal River Inn for your be ext Bed and Breakfast stay and especially for the Murder Mystery weekend filled with laughter, making memories and great tasting food.

It made our weekend trip memorable. So many nice touches and we want to return to our "getaway". Location is ideal. Stayed at the Blanco Room. When we checked in, our room keys were in the kitchen with a welcoming note from Cathy Dillon, the owner. I had previously spoke to her to make the reservations. The next morning Regina fixed us a tasty breakfast and we found her to be welcoming. It was the atmosphere in which the owners Mike and Cathy Dillon created that brings back repeat customers.

My 2 sisters, one brother in law and myself spent the night at Crystal River Inn October4, 2022. We found each member of the staff we encountered to be very courteous, as well as very helpful. However the cleanliness and maintenance, or actually lack thereof was very disappointing. The exterior and exterior of the building and grounds was absolutely just dirty and uncared for. We rented the two bedrooms downstairs. The carpet in the bedrooms was very stained and the smaller bedroom had not been even vacuumed. lint, small pieces of trash, dirt literally everywhere. The closet was piled with boxes, shoes , hats, leaving nowhere for a guest to hang clothes. The light fixture above the bed had many spider webs and the air conditioning vent grill was black it was so dirty. The bedspread was stained and just dirty. The woodwork like baseboards and doors were in need of paint and a good deep clean. The larger bedroom was better. Stained carpet but at least had been vacuumed and the closet was empty. The bathroom floor was in need of cleaning. We sat in the library to visit where the ceiling fan was covered in black dirt and again the floor was very dirty. The photos on the website appeared to have been from many years ago. My guess is there will not be many return visitors.

Cozy facility, wonderful staff. Really nice for getaway.

They need to have better bed sheets. A better important factor to a hotel service

The Crystal River Inn is a Beautiful place. So tranquil and comfortable and also very clean. The location is great. Breakfast in the morning was Amazing. Terry makes the absolute best pancakes I have ever had. Sausage was great too. I hope you have a fantastic time in Hawaii, Terry. I highly recommend the Crystal River Inn.

Clerk was friendly. Appeared knowledgeable regarding history of the house. While old houses are creaky, didn’t hear other guest coming or going.

The B&B is located in an area where you can walk to most places to grab a bite if you are hungry and easy access to I-35
