Absolutely as described! Do not hesitate! GREAT breakfast [eggs, pork product meats, waffles, FRESH fruit [delicious!], tasty coffee. breakfast breads... really more than anyone could consume!

Wonderful Hotel, very good breakfast.

The Hotel was without Water for about 4 hours and without Hot Water for about 6 hours mid day. The rooms smelled a little musty. The Dinning Room Staff was very good, friendly. One night I woke up to yelling/fighting in the room above me. No Gym. Pool is small. We like the Character of the Hotel and have stayed here before.

Wonderful stay, great staff. I'll be back.

Nice clean older hotel just over the causeway from Treasure Island. Comfortable beds and rooms. Great breakfast served in beautiful dining room. Only downside of visit was lack of any hot water several times over our stay. I mean no hot water whatsoever!

A historic hotel to celebrities of the 30s. Babe Ruth and Marilyn had suites at this water view hotel. Wonderful staff and very clean and quiet. A must see.

Fantastic stay.. Excellent staff! Wonderful breakfast! GreatSunset view each night!

Excellent

Our stay was wonderful! We were disappointed with the first room when we arrived, but upon letting the staff know they immediately put us in an upgraded room!

Nice historic hotel. A bit dated but very clean. Convenient to city and beaches. Large rooms, friendly and helpful staff.

Fantastic staff

Great breakfast! Relaxing areas to sit and chill. Pool temperature was cold. Staff was pleasant. Front deSk staff was engaging. Liked the Marilyn Monroe and Babe Ruth branding. Room was not pretty but bigger than the normal hotel room. Loved the messages the housekeeping staff left. Near Treasure Island for sunsets.

The hotel is old& rooms sort of seedy. Wires hanging out, furniture very run down. Pool on street, no charm.Staff very pleasant. Restaurant for breakfast nice.

Comfortable stay. Wonderful breakfast! Pretty courtyard and veranda to enjoy outside time. Walking distance to water and parks.

I’ve stayed here before in many rooms. A lot of choices and history behind them. They have a lovely lounge at]rea, pool area and the best breakfast that’s included. It as usual was wonderful. And free parking! See ya again!

The Crystal Bay Hotel was a gem. It is registered as National Historical Site, and you can see the charm when you stay there. If the walls could talk! The room was perfect for us as my husband & I stayed for the weekend. They offered a full self-serve breakfast, so you definitely won't leave hungry. They also offer coffee/tea & water throughout the day. It is close to Treasure Island beaches, restaurants & shops. The staff was super friendly and helpful when asked for something. The property was clean but take into account that the building was built in 1915, so it's not your new Hyatt or Marriott hotel. We would definitely stay there again!

Very well kept and very clean. Mattress was great.

We loved this hotel. Reservations were easy. Customer service called us as soon as our rooms were ready. Which was well before check in time. We booked 3 rooms. They made sure we were all next to each other. Parking directly across was easy accessible. Having key pad entry to rooms made it easy( as I have a habit of forgetting key cards). After hours the front door is key pad entry as well for safety. The rooms were very nice and clean. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were always pleasant. I would highly recommend staying here. We can’t wait to visit again.

Everything was great

The breakfast was very good and the dining area was nice. The people tending to the area were very attentive and friendly. The inside of the hotel could use a bit of a facelift and maybe some artwork on the walls of our room would have warmed it up a bit. The staff was very nice and overall we enjoyed our stay.

Everyone was nice gold breakfast

Everything is very good except Washbasin in restroom too small

Old Hollywood feel hotel. Close to Tropicana field and other sites, yet set out of the way in a lively part of town. Very nice... will stay again.

Staff were really polite and helpful . Made our stay very comfortable

Super convenient, great price

This is a hotel that could use some up updating. It’s great to keep the original structure and pride that goes with all the history it contains but at least update the rooms to make them worth the money you pay. Self Check in was great with keyless number pad on the door. The bathroom needs work with simple old sink, no counter smelled of mold when turning on the water. The shower had little water pressure, light fixture rusty, and the bath fan seemed to be running but couldn’t do the job. They had nice coffee bar downstairs but no option for coffee in the room, nice clean refrigerator. The bed was hard but at least had air conditioning which worked great. The room was clean, staff very friendly and helpful. Nice breakfast in the dining room, Steel cut oatmeal was my favorite, bacon good too. I’ve stayed in a lot of B&B’s that were old Victorian historical homes, rooms classy and updated. I guess that is what I was expecting. I would not stay there again.

While this is an older facility (historically) it is well keep. The staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. The breakfast and dinning area was very nice. The room we are in was very spacious and comfortable. We were only going to stay one night but after checking in we decided to stay an extra night.

Loved the whole stay....great renovation, so quiet, great bedding and sleep, great lobby, wonderful breakfast, staff so accommodating. I loved everything.

Will recommend to friends & family

Awesome hotel, 4-night business trip, quiet / safe area, ample parking. Very close to Treasure Island, anything you want to eat very close. Elevator needs updating, the breakfast was good, just the eggs are powered, and the sausage wasn’t hot enough, just warmed a little…..

I have stayed here in the past and enjoyed it. The only downside this time was the extremely low quality of the towels and washcloths... The washcloth was so cheap and rough that I got a small abrasion on my face washing my makeup off. Then, the bath towel was so linty that I had pieces of lint in my hair and on my skin. Worse, I accidentally brushed up against the towel with black pants and I was covered in lint! It was as bad as owning a shedding, white dog. That was the last day I was in town for business and had 6 meetings. It was also the last pair of clean pants I had packed, and I don't travel with a lint roller (I have not needed one). I did the best I could to clean the pants, but there was still white on them. I informed the hotel staff and they did offer to provide a lint roller, but by then I needed to get to my first meeting. It was embarrassing to have to go through the day like that. Otherwise, the room was clean and comfortable, the breakfast was great, and the staff was friendly and helpful. It's a nice little hotel, and I hope they see this review and make some changes to towels and washcloths for future guest comfort.

Lovely old hotel in a location that is fairly close to Treasure Island and other beaches. The room was comfortable with vintage furnishings. The staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very adequate though not scratch-cooked. Interesting neighborhood with some beautiful residences nearby. All in all, a great stay, just not a super-luxurious one.
