This was my second time staying at the Bay Inn, and it is a pretty little hotel with a hidden courtyard that is conveniently located near the beach and for me, near my family who live in the area. The rooms look out on the lovely courtyard, which has outdoor seating. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are extremely clean and have all the amenities I want: fridge, microwave, coffee/tea machine, a blow dryer and an iron. It is cozy and I have enjoyed staying there and I plan to visit again soon.

The room was smaller than I thought after viewing the pictures. It took a few minutes to get hot water in the shower. Overall it was fine for our one night stay.

This property was great! The room was clean and nice! It also had the right amount of space. It was a block or so from the ocean which was nice since you didn’t have to drive. Close to local eateries and was a great price! It’s also only 30 minutes from Virginia Beach if you wanted to go down there. Definitely would stay here again. Quiet and all around more our atmosphere compared to VB. Plus the price is amazing. Now will just have to find a place to bring our pup next time since this place does not accept dogs at the moment.

I quite appreciated the quaintness of this vintage motel. Despite the obvious age of the small, roadside inn, the rooms were updated, very clean, and bed and pillows provided a wonderful restful sleep. [The drip coffee maker and filter pack coffee was a disappointment, but I did not book my stay for the in-room coffee.] Gerard S, Naperville, Illinois
