Excellent location near the beach, our room had a view of the ocean and was one of the cleanest hotel rooms I’ve ever stayed in. Very nicely updated older building. Safe area, walkable to both Santa Monica Pier and to Venice Beach. Super friendly and accommodating hotel staff. Will definitely return.

The staff is extremely accommodating and friendly. They were kind enough to let me into my room a little early because it had just been cleaned, which was a big deal to me after a long flight and a spinal condition. Let me just tell you the place is very clean which is my most important factor when staying somewhere. They are close to everything and have the most incredible beachfront view. Highly recommend staying here! Ill be back!

We weren't at the hotel much as we were in town for a family funeral but the stay is always good. Great location for us and the beach is always comforting to look at. We have stayed at the Bayside often so we know it is comfortable, clean, and accommodating for our needs.

The property was well kept up and renovations have been done. It’s beautiful inside the rooms very clean. We stayed in the room with the kitchen it had everything we needed in it and it had lots of security features going in and out of the hotel very close proximity to the beach and pier.

Underwhelming

Stayed here one night at start of our California road trip. The hotel has a great location - 2 mins from the beach and 5 from the famous pier. Many restaurants relatively close. The hotel is clean and functional but the staff on arrival and departure were unfriendly and cold. It’s more like a motel than a hotel - but much more expensive! Has seen better days and I wouldn’t return or recommend.
