Tracy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

This was my second time staying at the Bay Inn, and it is a pretty little hotel with a hidden courtyard that is conveniently located near the beach and for me, near my family who live in the area. The rooms look out on the lovely courtyard, which has outdoor seating. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are extremely clean and have all the amenities I want: fridge, microwave, coffee/tea machine, a blow dryer and an iron. It is cozy and I have enjoyed staying there and I plan to visit again soon.
