The hotel is outdated. The room smelled like vomit. The restaurant wasn’t serving food, only drinks. The restaurant was one of the main reasons I chose to stay here. There is a bus stop in front of the hotel so commuting is effortless. There are a ton of restaurants and shops within walking distance.

Was everything we needed and nothing more. Loved our view for our bayfront view room. Rooms were clean, facilities were convenient, parking was easy, loved that we had a fridge and freezer in the room. Shower was nothing fancy but it was clean and water pressure was good. The only complaint I had was you could hear the hallway noise pretty loud (doors closing etc). And the air condition was reeeeally loud when it turned on. Kept waking me up at night but hey - all in all for a 2 star hotel it was everything we needed. Would recommend and would stay again!

Staff absolutely hate their jobs and asked for a comforter, but were told to go down to the lobby to get it if I wanted to. The sheets and towels were dirty. I had a " do not disturb sign on my door, housekeeping still knocked in the morning, completely ignoring the sign. Otherwise, it was fine, wont be coming back.

Stayed here overnight during Oceans Calling. The Princess Bayside Beach Hotel has several buildings, but we were in the main one with the front desk/lobby. Check in was easy and the staff were all polite and helpful with info regarding parking and the bus schedule for the event. The property was clean but dated and could use some upgrades to the beds and tvs especially. The onsite restaurant only functioned as a bar (no food available). All in all this was a good stay, the property had plenty of parking, felt safe, was clean, close to the bus line, and had a pleasant and professional staff.
