Bay Bar & Bistro

FANTASTIC! Clean budget room & food was amazing. Khan & Jennifer are so welcoming & accommodating. Can’t wait to see the place once the upgrades are completed. I found a few reviews a little misleading as the description for the property is very transparent (stairs, parking right across the road etc) photos are exact & yes a little outdated but very clean (is a budget hotel)! We were very impressed with our stay. 100% we will be back!

Don't judge a book by it's cover. Looks a little grungy from the outside but scrubs up pretty well inside. It's location next to the water provides great views from those rooms facing the water. Room size is very generous and although getting a little dated style wise is still very good. Shower was your usual glass box and a little "small" by today's standards. Very clean and mostly quite. A little bit of traffic noise about 7 or 8am (weekday). Parking is across the road but seemed secure and we were told under constant surveillance. Stairs up to the room so pack light. Might have added another star but found out the next morning that the essential cancer medication that we had placed in the bar fridge had not been kept at the required cool temperature because the cleaners had turned the fridge off at the wall. Be warned and look for that wall switch.

*Review is based on the bistro, not the hotel* We tried to have dinner here last night but we were abruptly advised that due to staffing issues, they were only serving people staying at the hotel. If they were busy, I could understand this, however there were 4 people in the bistro, none of whom had meals in front of them. The manager advised he had 50 people that could be arriving for dinner…I’m a little surprised that you would send money out the door, especially after two years of interrupted service due to the ongoing pandemic, on the hope that your hotel guests would come downstairs to eat. Perhaps put a sign on the front door next time or have front desk staff advise when walking in, not after we were seated for 15mins then tried to order a meal. A little bit of service goes a long way!
