The desk staff was helpful. When our coffeemaker didn’t work, they brought a new one. One evening the hot water did not come on, but it did the next morning. In the bath there was a bottle of conditioner on the wall, and an empty space where I surmised a bottle of shampoo would go.

Very nice area and clean reasonable rooms.

No vineyard or views, it's a place that sells wine. Room was clean and smelled clean, staff was friendly and helpful. There are some cute shops nearby and the water and dock across the street were handy. Very nice area as well.

Efficient check-in. The room was clean and covered all of the basics. Wifi was spotty, but mostly on. No breakfast service. Great location on the water and walking distance to several shops and restaurants.

The staff was nice and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable but there was a dampness that could have been better taken care of. We like that the Bayside is in town so we can walk to shop and eat.

It was clean, but dated room. Fixtures and furniture showed wear and tire. When my husband went to ask a question, the desk clerk was asleep and she didn't wake up. I thought the place was quiet. It was adequate for what we needed it for, but I would only stay one night.

The property needs renovation - especially the bathrooms. But the staff was very pleasant. All of the restaurants were closed at 9 pm - no food available. But it was reasonably clean and comfortable. The bed was very comfy!
