Bay View Inn

8/10 Good

"Elevator is old, small and clunky. Clean room - nice size but the room floors are slanted and squeak with every step. We were on top floor - wonder what it sounded like below us. Very good breakfast but the Denver omelette wouldn’t be acceptable in Denver. Easy parking. Nice view of the lake if you pay extra to stay in a room on that side of the hotel."
