Pros:

My family & myself just loved this little historical bed and breakfast. The breakfast was such a treat. Various choices for all of the members in my family's different taste buds. It was clean the staff was nice we love the cozy feel of it and the little quirks of this charmful place. Our room had an amazing view looking out from the third floor of the hotel and just the perfect corner to see the city view. When we visited there was a bit of a cold front so we weren't able to go in the pool but we hope to come back during the summer time and check it out again.

The Crystal Bay Hotel Experience
Pros:

My wife and I stayed at The Crystal Bay Hotel this past January 19th - 25th and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. It is in a prime location for the beaches and the vibrant downtown St Pete entertainment district. The atmosphere is so very warm, welcoming and peaceful, the energy of the building is noticable and rather calming. Our room, a viranda room, opened directly onto a West facing viranda and was ideal for our morning coffee and watching the beautiful sunsets over Boca Ciega Bay and Treasure Island Beach. The value is incredible, not only is it reasonably priced, it was less expensive than staying at any of the lesser corporate hotel chains in the area. It has a WONDERFUL STAFF, from the front desk personnel, the very friendly and accommodating housekeeping staff, the kitchen and dining room staff. The room, lobby and common areas and grounds are meticulously kept and spotless and the lobby and common areas are furnished and decorated in early 20th century furnishings which only further adds to the warmth and charm of the hotel.
Kathii and I absolutely loved our stay at The Crystal Bay Hotel and Bed and Breakfast and we will DEFINITELY be staying with them again in the future whenever we need accommodations in St. Petersburg Florida, and I can HONESTLY and CONFIDENTLY recommend this WONDERFUL historical hotel and bed and breakfast to anyone looking for beautiful, comfortable and centrally located accommodations in St. Petersburg. They are dog friendly and they are just as welcoming to pooches as they are with their humans.
12 out of 10 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Je recommande malgré tout car c'est un hotel historique.
Pros:

Personnel tres agréable, petit déjeuné très complet, parfait. Très bonne literie. L'endroit est très bien mais le seul point négatif c'est la proximité d'une route très fréquentée, donc bruyant.

Cons:

La proximité d'une route très fréquentée.
