"Beautifully remodeled moderately priced hotel in a great location"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
I have been visiting the Bay Club regularly for at least 20 years. I have seen it through several "refreshes" and upgrades as it has replaced older furnishings and has added electrical connections to accommodate current technology. The guest rooms are large, attractive and well appointed, including several suites. The meeting rooms are convenient and are particularly good for groups of 20 to 50. The dining room is open for all three meals and serves excellent food, fairly heavy on seafood (for obvious reasons). The staff is friendly and highly competent. I will continue to be a regular visitor!
