This hotel is an embarrassment to all hotels. The room smelt of urine and ammonia. The ceiling had water damage and the walls were damaged. The bathroom was disgusting. We immediately left... the hotel refused to refund the money. Do not stay here.

The view from the balcony is beautiful! However, the rooms are old and not kept up. There was mold and rust in the bathroom, smashed bugs smeared all over the wall by the bed, bugs on the walls. Dead spiders were hanging off of the appliances, water damage in the ceiling, vents were caked with dirt and dust. One positive is that it’s a big suite for a lower price. There is a sketchy looking apartment building or motel located in the parking lot. Would not stay here again. The desk clerk was friendly.

KC to Bay Inn was a winner

It was a nice comfortable stay. The room was clean, in order and beds were comfortable. The view from the balcony was stunning and the fireworks on our final night was spectacular. The front desk clerk was helpful, friendly and very nice. I would definitely stay here again.

If you are looking for a budget friendly place to fit a lot of people then I would recommend room 418: 3 queen bed plus a full fold out couch. The room is very quiet and has a nice view the bay and bridge. We even had the opportunity to see fireworks from the balcony. You have a mini fridge and microwave in the kitchenette area. You will have to overlook the neglected areas though. This room needs the paint to be finished, carpet to be cleaned and mended. The bathroom had visible mold, cracked tiles, missing grout, several different light bulbs of various yellow shades and a toilet that would not flush consistently. Also, noted the plastic bag covered plunger in the bathroom. Numerous cob webs and we killed multiple spiders. The pool and hot need a professional cleaning as there was brown dirt floating in both. Looked like no one had cleaned or changed filters in quite some time. The vending machines were EXTREMELY over priced, even for a tourist season. The few beach loungers and beach are not maintained. We will most likely find accommodation elsewhere unless we here there has been some renovations completed.

It was an older place to stay but one of the cleanest and had the most pleasant staff. Everyone working were very nice, we had no room service daily but if we needed anything, not a problem. Balcony was perfect to watch the Saturday night fireworks. Very close to downtown but far enough away to be private.

Very run down property. Beach was covered with goose droppings and algae. Rooms were very worn. Beds very old. Rained one day and had a leak in our room. Our room smelled funny just couldn’t figure out what it was. Would never stay here again or recommend this hotel to anyone.

The room was nice and clean but they didn't come to clean the room until 530pm. It was nice to have a beach view but the beach was not kept up. Lots of weeds and lots of bird poop. It looked like they never rake the beach or take care of the weeds.
