Instant 1960s - it reminded me of the motels my family stayed at when we went on driving vacations. A bunch of numbered rooms lined up along a parking lot - not much to look at. My room at the Bayside Inn had some of the features that are standard in modern motels - a flat screen HDTV with a good choice of channels, a mini-fridge, a microwave, liquid soaps, and queen beds instead of doubles. But the front desk closes at 8, and there is no food, no breakfast, and nowhere to eat within 5 mils of the motel. They promote the beach and the marina, but the signage at the bottom of the hill says that Bayside guests cannot go beyond a certain point, and that point is before you get to the beach or marina.
I could manage with all of that, but the price was ridiculously high, almost as much as I paid in NYC Times Square the previous night and almost double what I paid for a very nice and very similar room in a Super 8 in Syracuse the following night. If the price at the Bayside were below $150, I would rate it higher, but with a price above $220, then it must be compared with others in that price range, and simply doesn't measure up.
