Crystal Bay Hotel is a wonderful, lovely, and cozy historic hotel. Its charming architecture and antique boutique feel create a unique atmosphere, like traveling back in time. The location is wonderful and perfect for visiting the St. Pete, Tampa, and Clearwater area, being just minutes from the beach and other attractions. The rooms are impeccable, very comfortable, and very clean, maintaining the old atmosphere while having everything work well. Guests enjoy soft pillows, good mattresses, and a lot of natural light. The entire area has a lot of wild birds, including peacocks walking by. The staff is amazing, very nice, kind, helpful, and most accommodating. The hotel offers a full-service feel with contact-free check-in, good security, and coded access after doors are closed. The breakfast is great, a very nice surprise with lots of options, including self-cook waffles. It is substantial and freshly cooked, with attentive service. Guests also enjoy relaxing on the rocking chairs or the third-floor balcony. Parking is very easy. It is a highly recommended stay.
Hotel listed on the National Register of Historic Places that was built in 1915 and featured guests like Babe Ruth, Glen Miller and Marilyn Monroe. Really appreciated the clean room and comfortable bed. There is sufficient car parking in front of the hotel.
