Hi Anna, sorry your door was missing a security latch. We are in the process of installing them. In the future, make sure to use the deadbolt lock. That usually provides necessary security. I'm not sure what can be done about the smell of cleaning products.as they are a necessity to clean the rooms. If you ever experience that problem again, please call the front desk and we will be happy to move you to another room.

Staying at Bay Bridge Inn was comfortable and satisfactory. I like the location because it is walkable to my work and convenient eateries. Hotel staff was professional but not so welcoming or cheerful. Checking-in was painful as it has always been. It also seems the hotel is going cheap on toiletries and towels, which will let me think twice about coming here again. Otherwise it was a good stay and I can recommend it to others.

Great budget motel when you need to stay for a couple nights. Close to Folsom bars/clubs/nightlife, nearby dining options and close to public transportation. Friendly staff and limited parking available. Off-street parking is also available, just have to keep an eye out for street cleaning dates/times. Close to freeway on/off ramps, however, noise is not an issue. Recommend for sure.

I have been staying at Bay Bridge Inn on work related trips for the last 2 years. The rooms are spacious, always clean and well maintained. I like that the rooms have refrigerator and coffee machine. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I will stay here again. However there are a few things that I wish the management would make note of. The internet is atrocious. There is no reason to offer a pathetic service like this in 2024. Second, the place can be noisy at night or early in the morning because of heavy equipment operating outside or because of hoodlums shouting right across the rooms for no reason. Finally, the check-in procedure is awfully long and painful. I am sure these things can be improved for a better experience for the guests.

Extremely unsafe- checked in and straight out
Motel entrance is basically an alleyway with lots of homeless people around, the reception man said there is usually people hanging around. The room given was filthy, the bedding and sheets clearly hadn’t been washed. Dust and grime everywhere, bathroom gross. TV remote gross. The entrance door (straight off the alleyway) to my room had a massive chunk out of the bottom corner of the door- a grown man’s arm could have fit through it. A child could have broken this door open easily. I had an evening out planned and didn’t know if my belongings would be safer in the car with all the break ins or in the room with zero security. As a solo female, no way was I returning late at night nor staying in that place. I checked out after 30 mins and didn’t even bother asking for a refund. The reception man did offer to change to another room but I’d seen enough of the motel condition to know it was unsafe. He didn’t offer a refund. I’ve stayed in over 200 hotels/motels in the US and this is only the second time I’ve felt so uncomfortable I had to leave immediately. PS the security deposit/hold isn’t just holding card details- they do an actual sale and then a refund later. I didn’t get it back for about 2 weeks.

Hi Anonymous ;), First, I I'm not sure if you're familiar with San Francisco, but yes there is an awful homeless problem. It's sad so many have to be out in the cold instead of a warm room somewhere. However, I don't think homeless necessarily equals "extremely unsafe". Just my opinion. We have never had anyone break into one of our rooms as there is an employee on the property 24/7. Second, I do wish you had informed us about the condition of the room or that you were scared being near the alley. We would have gladly had moved you to a room closer to the office so you could just relax. Third, I believe holding a deposit is standard policy in most hotels as I've stayed in over 200 hotels and the money is always deducted and then refunded 7-10 days later. Sorry, that wasn't explained to you upon checking in. Thanks for visiting us and have a nice day.

Great place to stay yeah it’s close to the free way but that doesn’t bother me when I fall asleep im out. Just having a problem getting deposit back it’s been a week and no deposit return.

Weekend wd my daughter.
I didn’t like the area. There’s quite a few transient people, some screams. The building is old, not enough parking spaces that we ended up parking on the street which was very concerning. How ever, I was amazed at how the room was clean, bed made nicely and the room smelled clean. The hotel/inn needs better towels, Need to bring your own adapter to charge your phone in to the outlet.
