Find a better place
The room looks like in the pictures. The floor was very dirty, the bedding was filthy and covered with the black fur or black human hair, pillows have light gray color, the desk was dirty. It was an extreme noise from the traffic, because this motel is located on the active road. 2 older men on the front desk, before I checked in , promised me that it's not noisy, but it was a lie and I couldn't sleep there. I don't believe these 10/10 reviews are real.

Laid-back, fun stay!
Our room was clean and tidy. Only a minor complaint of a bright exit sign and lack of room darkening curtains kept our lighter than we typically experience. Overall a cool, fun spot that we'll likely stay at again.

Great stay!
Beautiful room! We were visiting friends in Homosassa; we were late checking in but were contacted prior to getting there letting us know the office would be closed but could go to Restaurant/Bar to get key to room. The room was very clean and beautiful, king bed was comfortable; will definitely stay again if in area.

Super nice for the price.!
It was just what we needed. Next door to Blue Gator restaurant where we ate. Close to everything. The only thing is the room needed two small chairs to sit on either to put shoes on, drink coffee or watch tv. I'm not a bed sitter. Super nice!

Newish and clean. I would have given it a higher rating, but I needed to use my computer for 4-5 hours and there was no desk chair. A/C was loud but worked OK. Staff apparently not on duty full time, maybe because it is so small.

8/10 Very good

A great place for the "lodging" experience. Clean fresh and remodeled with attached tiki restaurant on the water. The only downside is it is situated right on the main road, and I do mean RIGHT on the road; it takes away from the "nature" feel.

Nice place on the river
While the outside looks like an old Ma-andPa motel, the rooms have been beautifully redecorated and impeccably clean. The restaurant was closed the evening we stayed, but its location directly on the river can't be beat.
