Disappointing stay at the Bay Resort. Exceptional view on ground floor did not compensate for a
Pros:

Stunning view of the bay

Cons:

Facilities were not clean. Drove up to overflowing trash container in the parking lot and unfortunately my guest room was not cleaned after the last guest.

There was lots of dog hair in the fridge, all over the bed covers, and the bathroom and carpet was not cleaned. I had to go to the front desk three times for help and show pictures. Although pleasant, the front desk could have been more proactive in addressing my concerns instead of simply recommending that I contact the manager in the morning.

While the manager promptly answered my email in the morning with an apology and refunded my payment, it would have been nice to receive a call to directly address this. My kids and I were very upset to have slept in unclean sheets if briefly and to have to leave late at night to find another property on a busy weekend

Pros:

Perfect location. Beautiful view. Mini kitchen updated.

Cons:

Extra fee for parking is ridiculous. Bathroom needs update/plumbing system needs upgrade desperately.
Ice machine not working on 2nd floor: replace as it's the beach people use alot of ice.

Great location clean right by the pool. It was excellent.
Pros:

Location

Cons:

I felt bad for people that were getting towed that forgot to put the thing on their mirror. Maybe the tow truck driver should also have the license plates of everybody there

I love the Staff at this place. Very helpful and friendly and welcoming. My bay view is beautiful. I am definitely coming back here every chance I get.

The rooms could use some updating especially the toilets, the toilet flasher and the toilet flappers need to be replaced so there will be no problem when flashing the toilet. Overall, i love the location.
