Not worth the price. Bed was awful, lumpy and woke up in pain from the bed. Door didnt close to bathroom. Just not worth it. Breakfast was a joke, someone left half a bagel..

This motel was quite unique from the upgraded decor to the endless freshly ground and brewed coffee. Staff was very friendly and it was centrally located to restaurants and sightseeing.
The staff were so friendly, the room was very clean and comfy. They left an amazing little treat at our door in the evening...best little croissant ever! We had an amazing little weekend. Thank you Retreat at Crystal Manatee. We will be back!

Amazing !!! That’s all nothing more than that loved the stay
Nice room with a great shower head in the bath. Welcome croissants were a nice treat. Very comfortable bed. Beautiful gardens and seating areas. Walking distance to restaurants and nightlife. An iron and ironing board would be nice.
This boutique stay with a quaint charm was way more than expected. We knew it got good ratings, but we literary were amazed at the charm of this place. The room we had was amazing, staff was incredible, and the restaurant had incredible food. Our bed was very comfortable and the room was spotless. It was a sweet surprise after our long day of travel. We will definitely be back.
After we checked in, the front desk clerk walked us to our room. everyday we had a bag of croissants on our door everyday. That was a nice gift. Not much for breakfast. Only toast, bagels and cereals. Limited drinks only draw back. If they had a full breakfast for the price of the room would make it a great place.
