Perfect location for relaxing.

9.0

The location was ideal for relaxation. Additionally, the hotel staff were delightful and welcoming. The swimming pool was pleasant. Several cafes and restaurants were conveniently located nearby.

I was surprised to discover that the bathtub was quite low and that there were no shower facilities. I was informed that a shower would have been available had I reserved a room specifically designed for disabled access. I found this to be an unusual requirement, as in all my solo travels, this was the first time I had encountered such a situation.

Hot rooms but good stay

8.0

We had a good stay at the Bay Club Hotel & Marina on Shelter Island, especially for the price. The location is great—you can easily walk to nearby restaurants, the marina, and boat tours, which made it very convenient. The biggest downside was that our room was nearly 80 degrees when we arrived. It would be a huge improvement if housekeeping turned on the air conditioning before guests check in. The room has an older wall unit, and it took about four hours to cool down, which was not ideal after traveling. Other than that, the room was clean and nicely remodeled, although the overall hotel is a bit dated. The beds were surprisingly comfortable, and every staff member we interacted with was friendly and helpful. Overall, it is a solid value in a great location. With a better arrival experience in the rooms, it would have been an even better stay.

Pretty location nice size room free coffee in lobby

Housekeeping forgot our towels and bath mat first night. Left the garbage on our bathroom sink and refrigerator door open ( had our food and medicine in it. Small pool . Slightly dated furnishings. No slippers or robes.

Our summer home away from home

10.0

Our time in San Diego is my family‘s highlight of the year. And the Bay Club staff has made it special for us for years. Our server Miriam has become like family. Ally, Rosie and Lupe always help us feel welcome. The Bay Club has become our summer home away from home and we already look forward to next year!
