10/10 Exceptional

Highly recommend!

This is an old-style single level motel from the 50s. It is clean, comfortable, quiet and safe. The beds are comfy, and there is a nice coffee maker. There is also a great restaurant across the parking lot right next to the river where we ate both nights we were there. The manager is super friendly and helpful. We highly recommend this motel.

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.
