Very clean, great service, very kind and wonderful breakfast. I have never had such amount of blueberry for breakfast. Historic building rich with Meryln Monroe memories. Strongly recommend.

The hotel is super, we stayed in the Marilyn Monroe room. She lived in it, the room is unique and the only one in this hotel. Clean, staff polite, helpful, breakfast very tasty. We'll be back 100 percent.

The hotel has a long history, and many celebrities have left their footprints here, including Marilyn Monroe. The rooms are clean, tidy and spacious, the self-service check-in is also very convenient, and the breakfast is rich. Everything is perfect.

On our Florida round trip we spent one day at this hotel. That was one of my favourites on this trip. The hotel was clean and spacious as well as the room. The pool was also great with continuously available bath towels. But the best: the breakfast! There was particularly large selection. What I haven't seen in any US hotel: metal cutlery, porcelain plates, glass cups! Last but not least: although the online check in was also convenient, but the best even so was meeting the staff; the ladies were really kind! I would come back anytime.

I cant speak highly enough of this lovely hotel. From the friendly,helpful staff to the cool spacious rooms and the lovely lavish breakfasts - everything was perfect! I loved the way the building had been lovingly kept in what must have been its original condition and yet had every modern convenience that one could wish for.

Hotel is super nice. Breakfast buffet is a plus. Close to the beach (but need a car). Overall good experience. Would come back. Only complaint would be it’s next to a busy road and some times people would honk loudly in the middle of the night.

It was my first time staying at Crystal bay and wow! I am very pleased. The staff welcomed me friendly. My room and property were very clean. My favorite part was the in room massage tho! Very unique experience and I didn’t even need to leave my room. I felt well taken care of and my neck feels 100x better! Thanks again
