“Avoid”

Bay Park

8 Jul 2007

We were very disappointed with our stay at the Bay Park. Although the price was consistent with other lower-end hotels in the area, the rooms can only be described as sparse. Ours had bugs in it and hadn't been thoroughly cleaned from the previous guests. There is no insulation, so noise is a serious problem and rooms on the ends of the buildings have exposed cinderblock. The decor in the hotel does not appear to have been updated since the 1970s. Overall, we could have found a nicer and cleaner room for the same price.

One positive thing to say about the Bay Park is that the staff were quite friendly and helpful despite the problems with the facilities. Our breakfast server was very friendly, and the breakfast was well-prepared and quick.

Because we travel with a dog, we have a much more limited selection of hotels. When we find one that we would actually be pleased to stay in without a dog, it is a keeper. That was the case with the Bay Park. The accommodations were clean and relatively current. The staff was extremely helpful. The location is convenient, and since our room faced away from the freeway, the noise was not a problem. The bonus was the restaurant. The food was reasonable and very well prepared and presented. The service was excellent. Because we had an early tee-time we also ate breakfast there and it was fast, reasonable and good.

It's a great place to stay. It was the best inexpensive hotel I've stayed so far. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The room was not furnished amazingly but it was very clean. Breakfast and dinner was great for the price you pay. Such a cozy and friendly atmosphere and you feel like home. Don't expect 5 star hotel luxury at Bay Park, but I'm sure you'll be taken care of. Great for Skip Barber students, very convinient to get to the Mazda Race track.

We got a late start making reservations, and ended up with this as our only option. I wish we'd have stayed in another hotel - or another town. It was AWFUL.

First, watch out for the "end of the building" - it is directly adjacent to the highway. We heard trucks & loud cars go by for most of the night, and couldn't sleep.

The rooms are older, worn, and have no character. In most other Monterrey hotels, you'd get a lot of style at this price. I overheard another person at the front desk say they thought the rooms were overpriced - but he was in the same predicament we were - no options.

The toilets also have a power suction that sounded like a torpedo. This was OK in our room, but we got to hear the room above us, and to the side of them, also. The shower has painfully slow pressure.

I could go on - but I'll spare you the text. The people at the front desk were nice, however.

Bottom line - if you're reading this, you've got options, so choose another hotel! If my wife and I were in this situation again, and Monterrey was booked, we would go to Seaside or "Carmel Valley".

Elizabeth Dunbar the general manager is so welcoming and informative that you are made to feel right at home as soon as you step through the door.

Convienient location for Carmel and Monterey. Nice big clean room and a good breakfast in the Crazy Horse attached to the place.

Would recommend if you are passing through this area.
