One word sums it up:disappointment. Bring all your own shampoos/blowdryer or search for used regular sized bottle of shampoo in other area of building. A couple of rooms located where you could sleep at night. Traffic, music, & train noise is ridiculously loud in most rooms. Nice outdoor table area caters to smokers. Meal is slow if you want to...

First, our sincere apologies for being a disappointment to anyone. We are known for leaping through hoops to fix problems that we are made aware of. We work so hard to make this place a haven and of course you can’t please everyone, but there is no one, anywhere, who tries harder than we do. I am sorry that in... More

I stayed in the San Marcos Suite. It was wonderful! Clean, cool, and quiet. I was able to get some of the best sleep I've had in the past few years!

My sister Crystal was married at the Crystal River Inn. We had an evening wedding in the gardens. The garden was just beautiful lit up with twinkling clear lights. There was plenty of room for our small family wedding for all 50 guest to have a seat. and there was a nice fountain in the garden. After the wedding we... More

Crystal River Inn is with in walking distance of the quaint town square, it is charming and I totally enjoyed my stay here.

My relationship with the lovely Crystal River Inn has been a long and happy one. I have been acquainted with this property and the Dillons - Mike and Kathy - for about 15 years now. During this time, I have stayed there with family and friends many times, for business and for pleasure and have never been disappointed. The staff... More

This is a good place to stay if you are doing anything at the University-- which is why I chose it. But it was in a noisy location, with police cars, fire trucks, and all kinds of traffic. We had the Rio Grande room, which is in a seperate building on the property and right on the street. The room's... More

I stayed at the Crystal River Inn while attending a meeting at Texas State, and it was a lovely experience! The Inn was spotless, the service was excellent, and the breakfast every morning was such a treat. I appreciate the Innkeepers' attention to creating an environment that feels like home and is comfortable in every way. I'm already looking forward... More

My sister chose the Concho and Comal suite after looking at rooms in several B&B's in the area. Excellent pricing for this suite, which has a bathroom between the rooms. (The entry to the suite is one door, then the two bedrooms and bath are separate rooms inside. Very nice layout!) Very clean, and fresh flowers on the weekend are... More

I had my wedding at Crystal River Inn and we had a beautiful wedding there and a great time. However, planning it was difficult because Cathy was hard to get a hold of and she was the "wedding coordinator." She did not set up the tables like she said she would. Thank God my aunt was there to do it.... More

This was my first stay at a B&B, and my expectations were high. I found a KGB deal for two nights and could not resist. We arrived earlier than the standard checkin time, and were greeted warmly and accommodated. We even had a fruit and cheese tray upon arrival. The room was upstairs at the front of the house, and...
