Princess Bayside Beach Hotel

Princess Bayside Beach Hotel

8/10 Good
"My stay at Princess Bayside during a long Labor Day weekend was pleasant. This was my third consecutive year booking with Princess Bayside. The room was clean and comfortable; however, the rooms needs some sprucing up. The bathroom door was somewhat worn, and there were no hooks to hang towels. Our room was supplied with bath towels, although we typically receive washcloths and hand towels as well. My husband had to request additional smaller towels. The bar inside the hotel Finnegangs, opens relatively late and closes earlier than expected, often before midnight, which limits its usability. The establishment has significant potential, and it has a pool table which is great! I hope someone can improve it and update it to become a more inviting space where guests can enjoy good drinks and music. Some updates could enhance the overall experience. The hotel's location is excellent, so many things are close by, including the beach, restaurants and more. The staff were very friendly, and the hotel had a pleasant aroma. Overall, the service was good, and our stay was enjoyable."

"Excellent location. Room was Beautiful and nice and clean. Beds very comfortable. Pools were amazing. The only thing that would deter me for giving our stay 5 stars. Would be the female Security Guard when she was speaking to us about the garbage she was picking up. She referred to the people as "Tourons" referring to tourist as morons. My husband and I both found that highly offensive as we are Tourist."

"The staff was magnificent, the property was right on the beach, if there weren’t private events on two of our four nights we stayed it would have been an excellent rating. I also don’t believe I should have been charged $25 plus tax a day for parking for the day I checked in when check in is after 4 PM and the day I checked out when check out is before 11 AM ($132 total for a four night stay)."
