Nothing a old very old house/ converted Hotel yet hestiate on not just calling it a motel. There are hundreds of cheaper options for the quailty of service that we had, but also i blame Exedia because i booked the Stafford Perry Hotel not the Stafford inn. 38yr wedding annver pretty much wrecked because of us wanting high end and being charged high end but yet have stayed at nicer motel 6 units before.

We asked Lori for sunset charters and ignored. The molding in the door to go on balcony popped off, apparently iccurs all the time. The room was awesome! Bathroom was awesome. We wanted to use the jacuzzi. Well, it took an hour to fill. No bath mat w rubber on the bottom to get out. This inn was beautiful, loved the people, the perfect viewing of sunsets, great parking. No bell hops. I will say the age group is baby boomers and older.

2.5
Room is quaint, nicely decorated. Complimentary beverages and refreshments were a nice touch. Hotel is charming. All staff members were friendly and helpful. We were allowed to check in a bit early because the room was ready.
Hallway floors are uneven which might be a challenge for guests with mobility issues. Taller guests may need to duck to get into the showers.
Overall, an excellent place to stay.

Charming historic hotel with great employees and service
4.0
After about 15 years of annual stays at the Bay View Inn, we had a 21-year hiatus so we can looked forward to our stay. It was lovely with same charm we remembered—enough antiques to give it character and enough updated amenities to give it comfort.
5.0
The staff treated you like you were welcomed home each time you came in. Great help yourself service to water, hot chocolate and coffee. Soda and lemonade were also offered.
2.5
It was very homey and quaint. We were disappointed we were not able to stay another evening as they were closing the next day.
5.0
A quaint, cute little inn perfect for relaxing over the holidays. Staff very friendly and welcoming.
5.0
While its a very old hotel, its an exceptional stay. The Host when we arrived was by far the best welcoming I've ever had in many years of travel. The rooms are dated but very well kept. Each room is decorated differently. The food was amazing and the amenities are plenty. Our room didn't have TV but the room called the Library down the hall was very cool with many games and a big screen tv there, it was great. We took our drinks and played cards down there both nights we stayed. I sure hope the new owners don't change that. We will definitely return.
4.0
Shower was not great. Not much water power.

This hotel is beautiful! It was a great place to stay, exceptionally clean, well located, and a lovely old building. Bear in mind, it is an old building, with uneven floors and limited elevator access (it's very small) so folks with limited mobility could have some trouble, but otherwise it was amazing, and highly recommended!
5.0
Excellent
2.5
Unbelievably attentive service in this historic inn... the building is well appointed and comfortable, situated at water's edge with outstanding views... the inn is well over one hundred years old so don't expect a resort with all of the latest 21st century modern rooms and furnishings-- accept this character as part of the magic of your stay.
