The night staff and the morning staff are extremely friendly, and helpful. The beds were comfortable, and it was nice to have a full bath in the bathroom. We will definitely stay again. Can’t beat it for the price.

Good Place To Stay
A clean room, conveniently located, at a very reasonable price. Easy check in and out. Friendly service. Considering the proximity to the freeway, noise was not an issue at all.

The people that run the Bay City Inn are extremely friendly with everyone. It was renovated recently and looks so much better. I clean and do my own maintenance in the room. I wish more guests were clean and didn't expect the staff to clean up their horrible mess and treat them like servants to call on them at all hours of the night.

The check in man was great. I talked to him yesterday about being disabled. He saved a great room for me, the nearest room to an entrance of the hotel.
