The property is a lovely older hotel in excellent condition. The hot breakfast was great and served in the original dining room. There are veranda rooms with rocking chairs. The staff is very helpful and the pool area is good. The parking is easy and our room was quiet and clean.
Crystal Bay is so welcoming. The staff is wonderful, the pool area is relaxing, the rooms are large and the breakfast is abundant! I will absolutely be staying here again.
Definitely staying here again next time we visit. The breakfast was top notch and everything was cooked fresh and to perfection. Only downside was the parking, but was able to find parking very close every night. Easily 5 stars every time
This is a clean and well maintained property with historic character and modern convenience and amenities. The staff are available when you need them and are friendly &helpful while not overbearing.
