Our stay was very relaxing and quiet! They provide multiple coupons at the front desk for things to do around town. The hotel is very close to downtown, we didn’t have to drive for anything except to cross the bridge!

There was no continental breakfast but coupons offered instead. With the price of rooms you would think this would be included. At check-in the employee used inappropriate langue while talking to another employee that was in the back. At check-out time people were smoking marijuana outside the door smelling up the lobby.

I called before I booked to make sure they had a sauna running like it says in description and was told yes! I asked when I got there and no one knew what I was talking about. Never found one. Pool was dirty and had a not so nice smell. Gym only had 3 station bikes, beds were very small. Was not what they described. Disappointed to say the least.

Bayside is located within walking distance of restaurants, shops, and the ferry to take you to the island. The price for booking the hotel was cheap, and the hotel had discounts for many activities, restaurants, and for the ferry.

Room was very nice, clean & bed was firm. Bathroom was also clean. Very nice location, walking distance to the center of the city. Have room coffee (not the best) and down by the reception too early mornings. Water park is really for little kids.
