many thanks
For a visit to the Crystal River area in March, your choice between staying in Crystal River or Inverness depends on what you want to prioritize. Crystal River is the main hub for manatee tours and water-based activities, making it very convenient if you’re planning to spend most of your time on the water. Inverness is about a 20–25 minute drive inland and offers a quieter, more residential atmosphere with easy access to nature trails and the Withlacoochee State Trail, but it is less convenient for manatee tours or boat activities.
Mid-range hotel options in Crystal River:
- Plantation on Crystal River: A well-known resort with comfortable rooms, pool, and easy access to manatee tours and the river.
- Best Western Crystal River Resort: Offers river views, complimentary breakfast, and is close to downtown restaurants and shops.
- Hampton Inn Crystal River: Centrally located, modern amenities, good for families or couples, with breakfast included.
Mid-range hotel options in Inverness:
- Holiday Inn Express Inverness: Convenient for exploring the Withlacoochee State Trail, comfortable rooms, and complimentary breakfast.
- Comfort Suites Inverness: Spacious rooms, pool, and good reviews for cleanliness and service.
- Hampton Inn Inverness: Central location in Inverness, good access to local shops and eateries, and family-friendly amenities.
Overall, if your focus is on water activities, manatee tours, and being near restaurants and tour operators, Crystal River is the more practical choice. Inverness offers a quieter and more budget-friendly option but requires a short drive to reach the main attractions. March is a busy month for manatee tourism, so booking accommodations early is recommended.
