The staff at The Blue Gem were top notched individuals. They made check in and check out easy. As my stay coincided with the arrival of Hurricane Debby I left a day early. The hotel refunded me one day, which wasn't expected but very much appreciated. The room was somewhat updated, but the AC unit couldn't cool the room down well enough, even at night. I would recommend upgrading those units. Overall a nice place to stay.

It’s honestly such a nice motel, right next to the springs. You can do no better than this place if you’re not trying to camp at Ginnie Springs. Just read the reviews. Great price.

Just fine
You get what you pay for, although I wish it went a lot further these days. But the bed was clean and the sink water was warm (did not shower). A few odd hairs here and there. But totally fine! They even tried to make a cute ambience with art and some plants.

Great location and value. Staff is friendly and attentive. Little extras like good coffee in the lobby, snacks, good ice machine and towels. The bed was a little too soft for me and the pillows a were too firm. My neck and back were sore after 2 nights.

This is exactly what you want in a roadside motel. Updated and cute but still kitschy. Small property in a perfect location to walk downtown for a bite and then hit the springs and state parks in the morning.

This was an ideal stay for my partner and I's short trip. The only thing that was bothersome for us was that the doors have a gap from the ground so it gave wildlife easy access into our room. We ended up having to plug the gap with a towel for the duration of our stay.

The motel did the job for what you needed, which was a place to sleep. Kind of old inside and the carpet was dirty. But there was an outside space with benches and seating with toys for kids, which was really nice.

Super cute motel and very convenient to locations. Loved the clean and spacious room. My only complaint was the AC didn’t seem to cool the large room off enough and was warm throughout the night. Probably the full sun coming through bathroom window during the day kept room from cooling. Advise to keep bath door shut during the day.
