We were looking for a place to settle in for the night after a long day at the beach and a tour of the city. The staff that greeted us was down to earth and treated us like family, not a scripted conversation like in a 5 star hotel. In short she made us very comfortable that we decided to... more

I can imagine the thin walls being an issue in the summer months. Okay, we were reluctant audience to an operatic, er, love session in the wee hours; thank god our pre-teens were asleep. Room clean and basic, and the woman at the desk was friendly. The garden setting is nice. Don't bother with the "free breakfast;" think as basic... more

Stay away from the Bay Front Inn! Our room was totally ghetto, particularly the bathroom (no shower head, already opened/used shampoo/conditioner/lotion, hair and dirt on the floor and countertop). Our toilet was backed up the entire two day stay, despite our reporting it to management multiple times. Manager kept promising to fix it, but never did, didn't offer us another... more

I read the most recent reviews and hoped that this place had fixed the previously reported problems. Unfortunately they had not. This place is really not worth what they're charging. The rooms are not very clean (dirty shower floor, hairs on the bathroom floors). The bathroom was very unpleasant. I don't know how to describe it other than SHABBY. For... more

Pros: Location, affordable, pool, friendly owners/managers, microwave/fridge a nice touch. Must of the furniture is updated. Cons: I personally would avoid any rooms in the back outdoor hallway (from the lobby - rooms directly across the parking lot and through the open-air hallway). Why? A few of the rooms have poor ventilation windows are blocked by cyder block wall .... more

"I think the personel are the owners and they were great. I had two rooms, one a king and the other had two queens. Both rooms very clean with fridge and microwave. Continental breakfest was typical especially since office area is small. Nice pool with solar heating. Very close to Pier/Boardwalk. Exterior was clean and nice looking. The prices were... more

The managers, Frank and Heidi Notaro, were very hospitable. I noticed travelers from other countries were passing through. Heidi is from S. Africa and along with English, speaks her native tongue... German. The Bay Front Inn is a 1 1/2 block walk and very picturesque. I happened by this Inn on my walk. The flowers Frank and Heidi have blooming... more

We just dropped in driving by and liked the place so much that we indeed stayed another night: Nice, cosy room, clean facility, friendly staff. Add a complimentary breakfast and a really fast internet access as a bonus. But what we liked best: The beach and Santa Cruz Wharf are within walking distance (app. 5 min), as is the downtown... more

We were stuck in this place for 3 days. Booked on Priceline and they would not cancel or would the hotel. We had prepaid, so there was no way to get out of the stay. We went to the area for a wedding. The local people could not believe that we actually stayed here. The room was clean, but so... more
