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.

It was very homey and quaint. We were disappointed we were not able to stay another evening as they were closing the next day.

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.
