The toilet you had to hold down the handle to flush it. The shower head was broken and you couldn't adjust it. The breakfast deal wasn't a deal. It cost us more if we would of went somewhere else. The meal was over forty dollars and the selection was only three items. Why did we have to wait until five clock to check in. It was a nice room to stay in and close to the ferry.

Mold everywhere, broken glass in the hallway from their lights, wallpaper coming off in sheets. Most furniture is busted or broken. Water park is actually in a different adjoining hotel. Abandon staff cleaning carts in the hallways. There were two other groups asking for a refund when I was checking in. YIKES.

Would not recommend
Door to room wouldn’t lock unless you slammed it closed. Pizza sauce or something smeared down wall in hallway that was there for days. Hotel had an odor, floors were so dirty you didn’t realize the carpet had a pattern until you saw the carpet in the closet. Water in the pool was extremely cloudy, kids only swam for a short period of time before they had to get out.

The hotel was okay. The front desk attendant was absolutely wonderful. She was helpful and polite. Not sure if this was the hotel policy, but the cleaning staff never visited our room to change the bedding or replenish towels and toilet paper. We had to ask for more tp and towels when we needed them. However, thaf may have been the hotel policy, I'm not sure. For the price and the location, the hotel was adequate. Nothing too fancy. Just a place to shower and rest.

This is 3rd time at this hotel and we will not be back. The lady at the desk is nice upon check in but that is it. They tell you that pool towels are avail at the pool but not the case. They have teenagers working the pool and they don't care. They tell you that the towel delivery is late and nothing they can do. I asked it they could track and they said no way of doing that. There is trash everywhere. Dirty band aids, candy wrappers, paper towel just trash everywhere. I understand that you cannot help what people do but if they have somebody monitoring then maybe they could clean but no they are always sitting out in walkway on their phone. This is not the 1st time that we have dealt with this. It was raining and the roof was leaking in the hallway right above an air conditioner. I am sure that this not safe. Like I said we will not be back.

Property is run down, in need of new carpeting and bathroom tiles…rusty and corroded. One of our rooms was right behind the laundry room and had washing machines bumping all hours of the night. There used to be breakfast and they have there facilities for it yet they don’t anymore. The staff was very nice and empathetic

Needs updating...
The room was outdated, not really that clean, and had no towels or rags. The employee who was standing in front of the laundry room when asked for the appropriate missing items asked if she could bring them later. The pool area was good for younger kids. Hot tub was huge. There's no microwave, no breakfast, and building looks old and dingy. It's called "Bayside," but it's not on the water.

Our bathroom had mold and spiders all over the walls. The shower head was not clean and rusty. This isn’t the hotels fault but upstairs someone stayed with like 3 kids and they kept stomping and jumping really hard for 2 hours plus from 8pm to almost 11pm. We stayed there for 3 days and I don’t know the policy but we never got our sheets changed or any new towels or trash changed. I changed the trash myself and had to go up front to request sheets. Their WiFi was also horrible. Unfortunately I will not be staying there again.

Better than most of these bad reviews
We booked this hotel and then read the other reviews. We were a little nervous when we saw the bad reviews. I’m not sure who the other reviewers were, but maybe you all should just stay at home. The hotel room was clean. The decor and carpet were older but not horrible. The shower was fine. The pool smells like chlorine, like a pool should. The hotel workers were professional, not overly friendly, but that would bother me if they were. No breakfast is served but the breakfast place they recommend Toast a go go isn’t worth the money. Just skip it. If you are picky, pay more and go to a 5 star. This was just fine for the price.

The exercise room was in bad condition. The seats on the 2 bikes could not be adjusted. The airhockey game took our money after the 1st game. Spiders on the equipment and throughout the room. Needs a good cleaning and care. The laundry service could only supply us washcloths for our 2 rooms only forn1nof ourn2 days. Not a good experience. The receptionist June was very nice and pleasant!
