The staff was extremely polite and very helpful. Room was clean, there was no shelves in the shower. Breakfast was one of the best we had. Hotel was on a main road at night time you could hear the cars racing.
Julio C
close to the beach, nice bed and breakfast. Second time staying. Would recommend
Judit
The hotel was very clean comfortable in general, and my family especially liked the breakfast choices with bacon and fresh fruit every day. I also liked having an armchair in the room, and a round table with two chairs for a quick supper in the room.
Marilynn

If you are looking for a shiny, brand new resort, this one isn’t for you, BUT if you want real customer service that makes you feel at home, this is your spot. Located close to the beaches with easy access to Tampa, the Crystal Bay Inn is a winner. The front desk was so helpful and welcoming, listing all of the amenities they have in place to support beach goers- extra towels, ice for coolers, ice water, and beach chairs- necessities but not always things one can bring from home.
The hotel is on the Historic Register. The floor creaks, the walls are plaster, and the rooms are retrofit to accommodate an original floor plan. The inn is absolutely charming and well-kept inside and out.
My husband sincerely doubted my choice, but by the second day he mentioned how much he liked the inn, especially the atmosphere and amenities. If we come back to the area, we will stay here again!

This beautiful place, place has a lot of history. The hotel is spotless clean , neat and from the arrival the MGR Kathy was so welcoming with lots of smiles and her attention to detail for our anniversary . Wow. We got a free upgraded room on third floor.
The hotel is very relaxing. It is quiet the pool was spotless with a bunch of floating toys.
The breakfast was superior, wow so good and the chef made omelets for us.
Parking is free on the lot , we got back late at night even tho the hotel was sold out we found a spot in the street by hotel. Is all free part of stay.
If you read reviews they are excellent , for sure this place is a jewel and a decent price for all that offers. There always tea and coffee during the day.
Dani at the front desk kept us aware of weather. She was so kind and also very attentive and friendly. She is awesome superior customer friendly.
Don’t wait book at this beauty old and historic place. It looks like new ! Even this is so many years old of history.
Thank you ! For making our anniversary a memory of life time. ❤️

Mark
Yes , the breakfast was good and AC was blowing cold air
Jennifer
Quaint hotel with lots of history. Staff was friendly and helpful. Our room was clean very comfortable bed. The breakfast had many choices. Easy location to get downtown as well as the Beaches.
Thomas JH
This Crystal Bay is a keeper!!! My wife and I stayed there a week for our 25th anniversary getaway. I was skeptical when we arrived because I'm used to staying in modern hotels and this is a refurbished, historic hotel. But, the hotel instantly started growing on me. The hotel is quaint and cozy, ALL of the staff members are so friendly and helpful (they seem to genuinely love their jobs), the rooms are really nice, and the breakfast is AMAZING! The hotel is also perfectly located for visits to the St. Petersberg, Clearwater, and Tampa Bay area beaches and attractions. Crystal Bay has a ton of repeat guests (we met many of them) and I can totally see why. I would 150% come back and will be recomending to family and friends!
Diane
The Crystal Bay Historic Hotel exceeded expectations during our 2 night stay , blending old world charm and modern conveniences seamlessly. The hotel lobby and dining area are like stepping into a byegone era with beautiful furnishings, flooring and attention to detail. Rooms were warm and inviting and spotless. A highlight of the service is the breakfast offering standard hotel food with the option for cooked to order eggs. We will be back the next time we visit the area.
Mark
This hotel is in a fantastic location for my needs. It’s always clean. Their breakfast is free and it is exceptional.
What I like most about the hotel is the people that work there. They have a great team of people!

Check in was easy and quick. The staff was very helpful. The beds were also very comfortable. The rooms were clean and the Breakfast was outstanding! Overall great experience and we will most likely stay again.
Alexandre
Amazing experience. Perfect room, great breakfast. Amazing atmosphere
Sharon
Staff was friendly and efficient. Building is older and charming. Clean room, great a/c, nice breakfast.
Hunter
Classic older hotel but well maintained. Like stepping back into the 1950's. Great breakfast with real dishes and silverware. Staff welcoming and efficient. One frustration was the sound volume on TV regulated so low I could not hear the news shows important to me.
Steven
Comfortable room, but a bit on the small side this time. Great breakfast and wonderful staff.
Ed
This was our 4th or 5th time staying at Crystal Bay and every time the staff is so friendly! We love the hot daily breakfast, although if I remember correctly when we stayed in the past, they served something different every morning. We were there for 9 days this time and breakfast was the same every morning so I basically ate the same thing every day. It was really good, but would have been nice to have a variety. I love that we got a text before we arrived letting us know our room number and code to get into the room. No worries about remembering a key or card, you just put your code in and you were in the room. It’s not a fancy hotel as far as being updated, but it is a historical hotel and we enjoyed staying the same place Marilyn Monroe and Babe Ruth stayed. We even saw the rooms they stayed in. Crystal Bay is our go to hotel when we’re in the area.
David
This is our second time staying here and it has been wonderful both times. The staff is so very friendly and helpful and the breakfast is amazing.
Russell
I enjoy staying at this hotel from time to time.
Patience
Simply wonderful! This is the cutest hotel I’ve stayed at. It’s awesome from check in (free upgrade!), cute welcome gift, and room is sparkling clean! Front desk staff was so nice and helpful.
Breakfast is the best breakfast I’ve had at a hotel. You can see the chef cooking. Fresh real eggs, real bacon! (not the super thin kind of bacon you get) six breads to choose from, bowls of fresh blueberries, strawberries and melons. It was so good and included with the room cost!
Will definitely stay here again! Thanks once hotel for doing such a wonderful job! :)

Frank
The young lady in charge at the front desk was the absolute GREATEST in customer service skills. The rooms are extremely spacious and in my opinion nicer then a Hilton. Oh, and the the GREATEST part of the entire stay was the Breakfast. It was a 4 Star Breakfast that I still can't believe comes free with the room. I will not stay ANYWHERE ELSE accept here when coming into town.
Robert
HIDDEN TREASURE! Love this place, it's our new Tampa area hotel. It was our 25th anniversary, the staff went out of their way to make it special. For an extra fee of course, they outfitted our room with extra amenities. Love it , love it, LOVE IT! If I could give it 10 stars I would.
Alfred
Near beach and park. Not to far from main road. Quiet neighborhood and nice scenery’s.
Anna
Really loved this hotel. If you want an experience, that’s not your run of the mill chain hotel, I highly recommend this one. Our room was excellent. It was very quiet. The breakfast was the best I’ve ever seen. The pool area is very nice, the staff was top notch. Would absolutely stay here again, except I would book for two nights instead of just one like we had. It was that enjoyable.
Jessica
Very cool place to stay. Breakfast was great!
Consuelo
Breakfast is delicious
Dorit
We stayed 3 nights at the this old hotel and we had mix feelings about it.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, the bed very comfortable, the room was clean. Breakfast was yummy and plenty.
The problem for me personally was the smell of the building. I guess after years in the hot and humid weather it is hard to control the smell that stays.

Excellent staff and breakfast. Perfect location - halfway between the kayak trail at the Weedon Island Preset and sand dollar collecting at Fort DeSoto Beach.
Joumana
Staff are very welcoming. Stay feels like you’re living in a cozy historic house. We liked the fruit verity at breakfast. The location is convenient whether you want to go to the beach or to downtown. Highly recommend this hotel.
Defonic
The property was beautiful and well maintenance. I wasn’t too happy with the parking but other than that the property was great . The staff was great. And also the breakfast was good and you had choices . Would stay again.
Amber
We really enjoyed it! I love the hotel style. It was clean and the staff was friendly. We will stay again
Ankita
We were there for a short weekend trip and everything was perfect. It has quite a rustic charm and the amenities are better than most. Don't even get me started on the breakfast spread. I'd come again just for it!
Mark
The staff was welcoming and very helpful. Charming hotel, loved the history card in the room.
Sabrina
Very cool historic hotel. Staff was super nice, food was good and I was able to check in on my phone which was very helpful since I arrived pretty late. Would definitely stay again.

Had a two night stay in this historic hotel. Room was nice, had interesting layout and was pretty large plus included refrigerator/microwave, but showed signs of being in an old building such as slow draining sink. Perks of old building were rocking chairs on covered veranda and a library with books, puzzles and games. Was a keyless property with number codes for rooms and outside doors after hours. Staff was helpful but desk was not staffed 24/7. Issue we had with one of the beds was promptly fixed. Ice and cold water provided along with self serve station for additional towels, soap, etc. Breakfast buffet was excellent with fresh fruit, waffles and other hot and cold items. Weekend also had made to order eggs. Maintenance work at front door made entry a bit of an obstacle. Would also note that while I think there are accessible ways to get in, plan on being able to being able to use stairs at entrance and to access upstairs rooms as this hotel was built pre-ADA. Parking lot across the street or on-street parking. We were able to find a spot in the lot when we needed it. Entrance and parking lot on one-way side street so sometimes needed to drive around the block to get in.

Highly recommended

Rooms were ok, air conditioners were so extremely loud in both the living room and bedroom. They had maintenance in the hallways and outside early in the morning painting and scraping old paint. The breakfast was not a breakfast it was toast, 2 kinds of cereal and apples. I wouldn't stay here again for the price. Better options for cheaper.
Jeana
Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was unbelievably fresh and delicious. There was even an omelette station. Parking was a bit tricky and there is some construction; but, I would 100% stay there again
Katherine
The property was beautiful, the breakfast buffet was so good, especially for it being a hotel breakfast included in stay. The pool was clean and pretty, a lot of chairs and Lounge chairs. The rooms were spacious and quiet. Would stay again.

Breakfast was wonderful! AC was working great.
Alan
Great place to stay in St. Petersburg, staff is friendly and accessible.The room was large and clean. Free parking is a plus also.
Sara
Overall, we had a great stay and really enjoyed the beautiful gardens and peaceful atmosphere. The only downside was that our room didn’t have curtains, which meant the morning sunlight came in very early and woke us up sooner than we would have liked. Adding window coverings would make an otherwise wonderful stay even better.
Mariana

Anna
This hotel was built in 1915 and has many famous people staying there. Old building and furniture in the lobby has specific antique smell; the floor surfaces are uneven but overall it feels like you are in an old castle. The staff is very friendly, welcoming and accommodating. Hotel offers pretty good hot breakfast. There is a pool outside. Some vip status guests receive complimentary water and snacks. You will find some historic information about the hotel in your room together with a postcard featuring hotel. Very nice presentation.
Vanessa
This hotel was absolutely fabulous , clean totally accommodating, from all the friendly staff, especially the front desk to the manager of the hotel. The breakfast was Gourmet There was everything on the menu and more.
Everything was cooked to perfection and if you wanted anything special ordered the kitchen cooks and staff were super attentive and made up anything you wanted.
The extended sitting areas outside and inside are spacious and quiet, you definitely renew your peace.

Great historic property. The staff was amazing, friendly, and helpful. Great pool with plenty of lounge seating. Towels at the ready poolside. Will definitely go back. Bonus points for easy and accessible free parking.
Michael
Good location with easy access over the causeway to Treasure Island and Madeira Beach. Top floor has a bit of a musty smell but Hotel is 110 years old. Wish we had seen some ghosts. Rooms are huge with comfortable bed and good size bathroom. Cold AC just a bit noisy. Breakfast was the best we have had by far at this price point. Good choice for this area.
Owen
Excellent room, amazing breakfast. Wish there was a laundry or gym, but it was amazing for the items it did have.
lindy
the breakfast buffet is extensive . the room is very cleaned and cleaned daily .
Andrea
This historic inn was lovely! Friendly staff, clean rooms, and an extensive breakfast buffet in the beautiful dining room.The beach on the Gulf was just a quick drive across the causeway. Would ABSOLUTELY visit again!

No work out area but otherwise Fantastic
Michael
We love the Crystal Bay Hotel! This was our second time staying in this charming & historic B&B. We have stayed in the porch accessible rooms both times and enjoy sitting out there on the rocking chairs in the evenings. We had a nice welcoming gift bag waiting for us when we arrived. The rooms definitely have an older feel, but that is part of the charm. They are immaculately clean and have everything we need. We enjoyed the outdoor pool this time, which was also clean and refreshing. There is a continental breakfast in the mornings which we haven't used, but it smells amazing. There is a bay and cute park right across the street, and it's about a fifteen minute drive to the beach access that we like.This gem will continue to be our go to spot in St. Pete!

Amazing staycation with my husband. Beautiful hotel
Julia
Such a lovely and cozy stay at the Crystal Bay Hotel! From the friendly service to the classic homestyle breakfast, everything was perfectly done. Very well maintained and quiet. Air conditioning was amazing. The area was also just as quiet and pleasant! Definitely worth staying here for a comforting experience.

The A/C did not feel the best.
robert
Beautiful property.
Emily
Staff was amazing and all very friendly. Breakfast was a standard buffet breakfast, but kept fresh. They kept a stock of board games and puzzles for use on rainy days or to wind down in the evening. We had multiple rooms for our trip due to our party size, but the rooms were big enough for us all to congregate in for meals, games, family time, without feeling crowded.
If you’re looking for something with old Florida charm and history, this is it.

My husband and I stayed at Crystal Bay for almost two months, as we sold our house and we are about to move to a different part of the world, but I had to finish up my work. It was a great experience staying there, it made us feel like home. All the staff are super friendly, just down to the earth; breakfast was amazing; hotel atmosphere was nice, classic and full of taste. We really enjoyed our time while staying there.
Dave
