The week stay here was a huge help, and very comfortable. So grateful to staff for how wonderful she was. Highly recommend, and will utilize when we have family from out of state!
The floor was filthy and sticky. However the bathroom was clean and usable, and that's what I really wanted. The staff was friendly. It was what I paid for.
Likes: Bay Motel had a table & chairs, high quality TV, luggage holder, plenty of "table space", comfortable bed, very quiet refrigerator, full-sized mirror, carpeting, plenty of lighting, clock, hangers available.
Dislikes: The toilet did not have a lid, bathroom towel rack too low, hair dryer didn't work, high step getting into the shower room.
Got the hot-tub room. After filling it (2 hours to fill), the jets would turn off and on randomly, even if jets were set to "off", have to unplug to get the jets to shut off. The heater doesn't work to keep the water hot. Walking through the room would cause the TV to go out.
Place was low priced, staff was very nice! Wasn't very impressed with amenities. I would recommend spending the extra $20 for a nicer place.
I prefer the "older" style of motor inns so that I can drive up to the office to check in, then drive and park just steps from my room so I had hopes for this property.
The good: the bed was comfortable and the woman at check in was pleasant.
The bad....checking in was like walking into a smoking den. The room was unbelievable. Of course, the decor was a mishmash but, for me, that's to be expected from a budget hotel. The wall a/c was quite literally probably 30 years old and very noisy, The bathroom had been remodeled so that the original shower opening had been reduced by 1/2 to allow installation of a tub, the overhead light had a covered conduit to get the wiring to the wall plug, there was a large cobweb swaying in the breeze, no coffee maker, the refrigeration wasn't even plugged in, and there's lots more. IMO if all the rooms were like the one I stayed in this property needs to be completely overhauled. I question why it's included on the Expedia website.

Liked: Amenities
Disliked: Staff & service
The room was basic and overpriced and the staff didn’t seem to like being bothered. They were very short and seemed unhappy. But the shower had amazing water pressure so they made up for it with that!!
Low budget motel that's OK for a night but you don't want to hang out in the room

Office smelled like a literal ashtray. When I asked if the rooms were smoke free or if they smelled like the office, the office lady seemed offended...guess it's obvious who the office smoking culprit is....
I stayed here for 10 days and have no complaint. The room was clean. It was quiet. There was a refrigerator and microwave. Excellent value for the money. I will stay here again when I’m in the area.
No bed bugs so that’s a plus I guess but the picture above the bed was upside down and it was annoying me the whole 2 nights
It was outdated but you get what you pay for I guess
Walls need to be cleaned
