They have taken excellent care of this very old building. I stayed three nights in a king sized room. It was clean and had a goo d amount of space. There was a small fridge and a microwave. The bathroom as nice, but the shower head was terrible - a common hotel problem! I had to come back to the hotel and stay another night (thanks Delta) and ended up in a queen room. That too was nice and clean and had a small fridge and a microwave. The hotel does "self check-in" All of the doors have key codes on them and you get an email with the appropriate information to get yourself into the building and into your room. I think that there was bad communication between Expedia and the hotel, because I did not get my email in advance. I called the number on the front door of the hotel and someone answered right away and I had all the info within minutes though - by email and text. There is a table by the elevator with extra towels and supplies which was very nice. Breakfast is exactly what you think of for a hotel breakfast. Waffles and scrambled eggs and bacon and sausage. No coffee in the room, but plenty of free coffee in the lobby. This is a great place and reasonably priced. I will stay here again. If you are really persnickety, you may not be happy here - even though the place is in great shape, it's old. Personally, I like the charm - it reminded me of the fancy resorts we would stay in when I was a kid.

We got to learn a little history about Crystal Bay and the fact that it was started in 1915 and opened in 1916 so it's considered a historic building. The staff was amazing, friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet was fantastic. Close to the beaches, shopping and dining.

The staff was very friendly, our room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was full of delicious options. Our kids really enjoyed the pool also. They didn't want to leave! We will definitely be back!
