Room looked good and smelled clean, but when pulling down the bedding a whole other world appeared. Hair, body oil stains on the sheets and pillows. Inspected a second room before moving everything. Same situation. Several hairs on the sheets. Forced to pack up and go find a different hotel. Hopefully I get a refund.

This is what a motel should be like… The old-school charm of the roadside motel but when you step inside your room, it’s upgraded clean and open with nice linens and nice towels and decent shampoo and conditioner. There’s a bar right there and a restaurant right there. You’re on the water you can look at the river rent a boat. Everything you come to Dunnellon for I highly recommend it. And you get to meet Captain Bob.

Clean, neat, and well-equipped. Thank goodness for reliable GPS because in no place did I see a sign saying "Gator Den"; look for "Angler's something." Had no cell service with T-Mobile (occasionally one bar), plus Wi-Fi was too slow to stream or even load web pages with graphics. Plus TV wasn't working. To their credit, after much troubleshooting, they got it working before the evening was over; in the meantime, I had to find a sports bar to watch the first half of the Gator game. To be honest, I wish I'd gone with the Comfort Inn, but if you are in Dunellon to fish and don't care about the technology, it might be a nice spot for you.

Newish and clean. I would have given it a higher rating, but I needed to use my computer for 4-5 hours and there was no desk chair. A/C was loud but worked OK. Staff apparently not on duty full time, maybe because it is so small.

A great place for the "lodging" experience. Clean fresh and remodeled with attached tiki restaurant on the water. The only downside is it is situated right on the main road, and I do mean RIGHT on the road; it takes away from the "nature" feel.

Nice place on the river
While the outside looks like an old Ma-andPa motel, the rooms have been beautifully redecorated and impeccably clean. The restaurant was closed the evening we stayed, but its location directly on the river can't be beat.

We had to book last minute, and we were grateful for the accommodation. But the walls were thin and we could hear people partying on both sides of us until 3am. Not a place to bring family or to chill.

We booked The Gator Den last minute and we were not disappointed. The front desk staff was very nice and very helpful. The room was filled with clean towels and was very clean! The only thing that I was upset with is the bar/restaurant is closed on Wednesdays! Other than that it was a great stay!
