We had a great stay at this property. Check in was quick and easy although the desk staff were not super friendly. The room was spacious and clean but nothing fancy if that is what your looking for. We had a beautiful view of the bay and was nice to sit on the balcony to watch the sunsets. The little bay beach was great for relaxing and playing with the kids. You can rent kayaks, paddle boards, peddle boats etc right there. There is also a pool on the roof wit a bar with beautiful views and an indoor pool for rainy days. They do not clean your room daily but do bring fresh towels and the housekeeping staff were super nice and accommodating. A little stingey with the toilet paper, usually only leave you one at a time and the rolls are small. The full size fridge was helpful. Not a full kitchen but the 2 burner stove top was great for small meals. Came stocked with cups plates mugs a pan a pot a spatula n silverware. Lots of stuff within walking distance and bus stop to the boardwalk is right there. All in all we had a great stay at the Princess Bay. Would definitely go back again.

Amazing view of the bay! Friendly staff. Rooms need a few upgrades and to be cleaned better. (Toilet was dirty) Unfortunately room smelled like stale cigarette smoke. Should have better way to remove smell other than febreze. We made the best of it.

The convience of rhe location. When making reservatiins I was told I would be with my family (confirmed 2times prior to leaving on thrip) once arivinbg My room was not by my family. The guest service called me a lier I had to reqest a manager. After getting to my room I couldnt get in..Maintenance had to all most remove the door. It was latched from inside out. While waiting for this I and my child had to sit in a hot hall way. Outside-In the walking path their was a bloody tampon whitch layed their for 3 days after staff had been told. No where for my service dog to use the bathroom. I will never stay at this hotel again!

Will repeat.

Location ideal. Easy walk to beach and bay. Quiet room 4th floor. Spacious. Check in staff unsmiling but efficient. Wifi molasses. After check out a request to hold bags for an hour was met with confusion and then wonderfully friendly assistance. Would stay again.

Our room smelled like mildew. The shower was clogged. Random hairs in the bathroom toilet seat had a stain on it as well as the curtains in the main room. The doors slam very loudly every time someone enter or leaves their room. When we call the front desk, all they did was send someone to give us room spray.. they did, however, unclogged the tub. This place has gone downhill and not the same as it was a few years ago. Do not recommend.
