I would recommend this delightful hotel.
Beautiful and historic hotel with a refreshingly healthy focus which I could feel immediately upon entering the building. Excellent buffet breakfast, very friendly and personable service, and interesting surrounding area to do some leisurely exploring. I would recommend this delightful hotel.

Such a lovely hotel with a touch of history where I had a great stay for just one night. Although the building is aged, it has all the amenities I need, such as free parking, a platform lift, a cooler filled with ice bags, free coffee and ice/hot water and a pool, etc. Plus, bed was comfy and breakfast was excellent.

This is our second vacation to Crystal Bay with our little dachshund. We enjoyed ourselves very much. The staff is so friendly, especially with our little pup that is why we decided to go back again
I would never use hotels.com again they were so much more money than what I could’ve paid if I ordered directly through the hotel

Quaint historic hotel
Nice historic building with large rooms. The sleep sofa was positioned in a way that made it imposible to get off the bed. Parking is difficult and no charging stations for EVs. There are plenty of good places to eat but the included breakfast is not one of them. Central location and great to sleep and shower.
