Horrible Experience

Bay Air Motel was just a whole in the wall type facility that totally ripped me off. On a double booking mistake, the owners refused to refund me my money when they were fully aware of that this mistake had taken place. Additionally, the motel offered virtually zero amenities and felt like just a roof over your head situation.

The location and price was good. The stairs were a struggle with a case. The room was generally ok, but lacked drawer storage space, and overall was really dated. Needs a renovation.
