Delightful historical hotel in an incredible location. Easy drive to the beaches and John’s Pass. The breakfast was the highlight of the stay for me! Delicious coffee, hard to find in many hotels ;) the parking was convenient but full by the end of the night (then again the hotel was fully booked when we were there) so something to keep in mind. Overall great stay, great price, convenient comfortable and friendly. Preferred their bed to the $640/night hotel we stayed in downtown Tampa the following night.

Our book club stayed a long weekend at the Crystal Bay Hotel and we loved it! The front desk staff is amazing and so helpful. Cassandra went above and beyond to assist us when we had a room issue. Breakfast was awesome, and the whole hotel has a lot of charm. The double queen rooms were laid out in a way that gave each person privacy, which was really convenient for sharing. Close to lots of great restaurants and to the beach.

Nice historic hotel in a good location. The front desk staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was GREAT with a full selection of fresh items. The coffee, tea, hot chocolate station in the lobby was also very nice. The rooms were clean and the beds very comfortable. The bathroom could use some updating though. We would definitely stay there again.

The property was beautifully landscaped. The building is obviously old but could definitely use some TLC. The complimentary breakfast was amazing!! The staff was super friendly and always helpful. The pool wasn’t heated and never properly cleaned the whole time we were there (we were there for 8 days). All in all, we enjoyed our stay.

Well if you are interested in an old style historic hotel, then this is the place to go and stay. They offer in room massage service for few bucks which is a gem. I was amazed by their hospitality and specially the breakfast. It was one the best breakfast services I have ever seen. Will go there again

I had 2 back to back reservations at this hotel, one booked at the hotel and one booked through Expedia. To avoid changing rooms during my stay, I had to downgrade my reservation made directly with the hotel, therfore, I assume, they were not able to honor my VIP status. The hotel is very quaint, and clean. I found my room to be exceptionally noisy from road traffic. Based on my experience so far, I don't think that I would stay here again, I didn't find it to be a good value.
