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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

This historic hotel has a lot of charm and personality. I enjoyed my stay here and the breakfast was great. At first I thought the spring mattress would be a problem since I'm used to sleeping on memory foam, but it was actually pretty comfortable. I did not bring my own shampoo and conditioner, and instead used the shampoo and conditioner provided by the hotel - that was a mistake. My hair felt so gunky and gross after using it. I couldn't wait to shower when I got home. The front of the hotel is nicely landscaped, but I don't think I'd be tempted to hang out there since it faces a busy intersection. The pool was not enticing at all. Of course it was cold when I visited, but still...small pool surrounded by a dark wooden fence with the background noise is traffic...not too appealing.
I will say, I like that they give you codes to use to access the hotel after hours and to access your room. Makes it easier for you to not lose a key card!
Overall, I enjoyed my stay, but probably would choose a more updated hotel in the future.

After two days, I changed rooms because the mattress was not firm. I picked the third room I was shown, because the other two were just as soft. The staff was very accommodating

BORED…I’m sorry to say this but rarely do I get bored at hotels lol but maaan this one just wasn’t my vibe & I’m trying to be nice because the staff was nice and it was quiet / safe but maaan my room was NOT what I was expecting.. The whole set up of the room was off, no real sitting desk area to work in your own room … pipes on the ceiling are seen, bathroom water wasn’t hitting right…it was just boring …it NEEDS a TUNE UP! The amenities are cool, tea / coffee available almost all day …but it didn’t give me a FL vacation feel and it was my birthday weekend :( so you can only imagine how disappointed I was …

It's lovely. I enjoyed my stay. It's got that old Florida charm I was looking for. Breakfast was delicious, parking right beside the hotel and it's in a residential area so I felt very safe walking back from the Wheelbarrow restaurant they recommended when I arrived late.

The customer service level is excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The daily breakfast is wonderful and set up in a lovely dining room. The hotel is not close to the downtown or beach area- you will need a car or be willing to take a bus to get around.

This is a beautiful historic hotel near treasure Island. It’s absolutely charming. The staff are super kind and so helpful. The room was beautiful and the grounds are gorgeous and Marilyn Monroe used to stay there back in the day. We love this place and it’s pet friendly and they were so kind to our pup. Great restaurants around the area. Beautiful sunsets over Sunset Park and can’t say enough. Good things about Crystal Bay fantastic.!

We took a step back in time while staying at this charming historic hotel. We were in town for a Christmas party nearby and the hotel was a perfect place for us to park, for free, walk to the party, get a great night of sleep, and enjoy a complimentary full breakfast in the morning. Lots of charm and old fashioned hospitality. We will definitely return!
