"Poor Management"
Overall Score2.0/ 5
No hot water. They didn't seem concerned. Had to get our own towels. Missing furniture. Defiantly gone down hill since last visit.

Overall Score3.0/ 5
They advertise a full family restaurant however there is none. Pool was closed but no mention of it when booking room(s). I won a free night at the hotel while I was there. Tried to use it when checking out but manager had to approve it and he was not available. Not even there, however he would be later that day. I wasn't waiting. Now to avail myself of the free night, I'm going to have to come back sometime before 12 30 2020. 6 hour round trip for me. They advertise free cookies but none were available. Breakfast food was not very good and no variety. Rooms were comfortable, clean and a little bigger than most others. Staff was very pleasant and helpful.

"This is the first time I used your service and I was very satisfied with the software program. It was very user friendly and had so many different options you could use. There was a great selection of hotels to choose from. I have finalized my booking with Liz of Bay Park Hotel and have stopped all other biddings. Thank you again. It made my job a lot easier in finding a place to stay for the group!" J.W. - Monterey, CA
