The Bay Club Hotel & Marina

"The location is awesome and the view is fantastic but we had to cancel our reservation minutes after checking in as the washroom was old and smelly. The furniture in the room seemed like it was upgraded but the room itself is too old. Appreciate that the staff was considering and helping with our decision"

"I spent a week at this hotel. The environment was always mellow. The staff and patrons are all respectful. I even enjoyed chatting with the security staff. Everything about my time in San Diego was better because I had this hotel to go home to in the evenings. I would certainly stay here again."

"Honest review as a solo trip! I booked the cheapest room available - Standard Room, 1 King Bed, Patio, Ground Floor. Service: always helpful and friendly, every staff I encountered! Room: the room was very large and cleaned well although outdated bathroom for sure. It was ready upon arrival. My view overlooked the front parking lot, but the bay was there and provided light. The balcony is shared which is weird and at times made me uncomfortable as a solo traveler and the large glass sliding door. The bed and pillows were comfortable and firm (but not everyone may appreciate that). The heat worked well and I kept it on often because in the evening at night you could hear neighbors talking or the TV easily otherwise. Pictures online showed rooms with no carpet but ours did have carpet. It didn't have any stains though. We did notice walking by some rooms being cleaned some had hard floors and no carpet. There is a mini fridge, microwave and coffee set and ample closet and storage space, desk, large chair and ottoman. The bathtub/shower combo didn't always drain properly when we were showering but the water was hot. Needs updated bathroom & tub (even though it was clean). The room door was hard to shut. All the room doors and bathroom doors are old wood doors. Location: This hotel is on Shelter Island which is safe, fun and great views. The hotel has a great view of the bay and the marina! Great area to walk across the street along the bay. It is very clean, safe and beautiful. Lots of fresh and fun restaurants walkable although coffee is a very short drive away. The food we did get at the restaurant (breakfast mostly) tasted good and larger portions. Parking: while there is parking both upstairs and downstairs garage is ample, the spaces are very tight! Property itself was cleaned but needs updates as it is much more weathered then photos show, although they are not misleading, just the natural progression of things. I think in the evenings, I would hate to stay near the lobby/restaurant as it can get loud. Overall I am giving it 4 stars (but a 3.5 star hotel) because it was comfortable, safe and great location. I would return!"

"We stayed at the Bay Club Hotel & Marina with a group of 15 for about a week earlier this month. The location is pretty nice next to the harbor and the building is in decent shape. The rooms were spacious and had all the necessities, although they were a little dated. The beds were fine as well. The staff was really pleasant and helpful: I would like to give a special shout out to Miriam and the other waiters who served our breakfast diligently every morning. They made sure we had a great start of the day! Gracias Miriam!"

"Stayed here for one night. The bartender was a really nice guy, dry humor, funny. The front desk employees here are pleasant. The location of the hotel is pretty awesome, directly across the street from the water. Rooms are nice but look better in pictures. Felt like they did renovations either in a hurry or just had a not so great person/team who completed them (patches of drywall not painted the same color, scuffs on walls, towel rack installed poorly, etc). Basically, this place was nice for probably one stay but I'd probably stay at one of the surrounding hotels during a future visit."
