5 Stars – A Hidden Gem in St. Pete!

Crystal Bay Hotel is officially my new favorite local getaway spot! The rooms are so cute and cozy, perfectly matching the hotel's charming, vintage vibe. It’s older in the most beautiful and intentional way—decorated true to its time period with lovely pieces throughout that make it feel like a step back in time (in the best way). The staff made our stay even better—Kathy at the front desk was incredibly helpful and informative, and every member of the food staff was kind and attentive. Housekeeping was equally impressive—our room was spotless, and everyone we interacted with was polite and professional. Let’s talk about breakfast: amazing. A full buffet, fresh fruit, make-your-own waffles, and cooked-to-order eggs with sausage and bacon that hit the spot. As locals, we were just in for a staycation, but we’ll absolutely be back. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly recommend!

So nice

The hotel was very clean. The staff was excellent and very polite. The only issue was the room was close to the busy intersection. So we heard lots of traffic noise. The breakfast was so good with fresh fruit and cheese omelets, bacon ,sausage and waffles. The hotel is beautiful we will try to visit again one day. Also great accommodation for disability.

Best hotel I've stayed at so far. It definitely has a grandma kind of atmosphere, although I found it quite charming. The hotel and our room was very clean, very professionally put together, and very quiet. The housekeepers go above and beyond and the front staff is very friendly and helpful. If we ever visit Florida again we will definitely come back to this hotel.

I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the Crystal Bay Hotel. It had such a charming, quiet, and classy atmosphere, and the staff were absolutely wonderful—so kind, helpful, and accommodating. While the rooms were a bit dated, they were clean and very comfortable. The food was also excellent! My only complaint was the swamp cooler in the room, which made it feel overly humid—almost like a swamp.
