Surprisingly clean and nicely updated roadside motel. A restaurant next door has pretty decent food and drinks. Right next to a river but we did not have time to explore more.

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.
