We're doing a Crystal River manatee snorkel for my son's birthday in early November, and I decided to tack on Blue Grotto and Devil's Den the next day as an added bonus.
I need a place for us to crash for one evening, and lodging options in the area seem limited. Ocala lodging is more varied, but seems to be hard to find a room there that weekend for some reason, plus I'd like to be closer.
So I am looking at one of two options (unless you have a better suggestion): A lodge at Devil's Den, or Williston Motor Inn.
I think the Motor Inn looks kinda fun (60's throwback place), and is close by, and like every other place, has a split of good and bad reviews. I like nice rooms, but I can slum it pretty good, and we really just need a place to spend the night and watch a movie or two on the laptop.
Does anyone have any experience with either place? I'm going to call to find out pricing on the Motor Inn tomorrow, and availability on both placeds for the night that we need.
Plan is to head up after the snorkel, crash, eat an early breakfast, get to Blue Grotto @ opening (read that the training classes muck up the clear water) and Devil's Den after that, then drive back home.
