Staffords Bay View Inn is like stepping back in time, but with excellent customer service. The rooms are uniquely decorated, it has a beautiful lobby and library for lounging or game playing. The breakfast is delicious and they cater to your every need.
Stayed here about a dozen times; fantastic service every time; vibe is between a B&B and rustic inn; if you love chain hotels, this is not the place for you; if you want a well-run historical inn with great service, stay here. Uneven floors? check. Unique, awesome rooms? check. Fabulous breakfast? check. Fantastic views of the bay? check. Will be back again. Definitely.
Very nice, a place with a lot of history and great service. We enjoyed the quietness of the Inn and breakfast was excellent. The atmosphere of the place is the real draw, it is very unique and tranquil.
I've never been to a hotel or resort where every single staff member was so welcoming and friendly! The room was lovely and the breakfast was delicious. We enjoyed the winter sleigh ride and just hanging out in the sunroom.
Bay View is a wonderful place to spend a vacation. All of the staff are attentive and welcoming. The accommodations are exceptional. The Inn has a lot of history and the furnishings are very unique. Breakfast is included every morning and it is delicious.
We spent the weekend with 5 couples from Alma College 71'. The Inn had two great places to gather. The bedrooms were very clean and well decorated. The staff was excellent. Breakfast menu was excellent along with their service.
