Bayview Lakefront Motel review

Very unkempt; tv did not work properly; window a/c had gaps between room wall and a/c; floors were full of sand; was hesitant about the bedding, it looked unclean and thrown together, sniffed sheets and pillows but smelled ok; shower stall floor and stall and bathroom totally outdated, extremely small. Will never recommend or stay again. Seagull poop all over outside motel area.

Went somewhere else

Room wasn't vacuumed. Had a weird smell. Just wasn't comfortable. A lot of pet hair from previous guest. Asked for a vacuum or to have the room vacuumed. Guy at front came & vacuumed. He was very nice & the only positive part of this reservation.

The owner has not put much attention into updating the property. The beds are 3 inch foam with a single layer mattress pad that doesn’t completely cover the whole mattress. The furniture looks like it came from a garage sale. The bathroom had new toilet and sink, the toilet seat was not screwed down and slid all around. We did not use the shower due to its stains & poor condition. The pictures online were very deceiving which I told the manager. The safety chain on the door did not have the latch and was useless. The TV was extremely hard to use. The air conditioner was very old and the management did not have it on before we got there. We had to wait outside a couple hours for the room to cool down before we could bear to stay in the room. The bed skirts were too big for beds and draped down all over the floor. It was very messy. We did not find any other rooms in the area so we stayed that first night and checked out in the morning. No one got much sleep. I don’t feel this is the managements fault because there is only 1 person to do everything. She is very nice and try’s but under the circumstances her hands are tied.

Checked in at 4:45 pm and room had not been cleaned. Had to leave for a while. Room was old, dirty carpet, furniture missing a handle, dripping stain on wall, no mini fridge, shower was awful with no place to put tiny bar of soap. Motel is right on the lake but the beach was covered in goose poop and smelled awful.

The room was horribly dirty; I'm sure it had never been cleaned under the beds and along side the bed by the wall, and all floors were sandy. The dresser/fridge had residues of duct tape on it. There was no hair dryer. The overall function and look of the room was ancient.

Disgusting

Room was disgusting. Hairs on pillow, dust everywhere, and I can't describe the bathroom... Better to avoid this motel and maybe pay little extra to get better accomodation.
