This hotel was dirty and smelled weird. The bathroom was mildewed,the floor was clearly dirty and the woodwork was gritty.....thankfully we were very tired fell asleep instantly...no inspection of the sheets. The lighting was dark and the room was crowded. We stayed one night and left the next day, happily leaving a full night's stay fully paid for....we found a... More

I loved every minute of this very old hotel!!!! If you love to go back in time, then this is the place for you. Even the old smell of the place takes you back in time!!! I love New Orleans for the history and this place gives me this old New Orleans charm. Things are very quirky and that's what... More

From start to finish our stay at the Bay View Hotel was a total disaster. My boyfriend had really wanted to stay at the hotel because he had previously eaten at the restaurant when visiting family in Aptos and was enthralled with the history of the hotel. He was also eager because of the hotel supposedly being haunted by ghosts.... More

For those of you that like the haunted mansion at Disneyland.... You will feel right at home here, well minus the charm and fun and, anything good. We stopped in for breakfast and our diet plan was instantly jump started. But what we lacked in food we made up for in an education about how wood flooring should be shopped... More

Very weird business.Mood swings from the host at our private family party were not what my group expected where we choose to celebrate.We tryed to... More

I sent this note to the Manager after our disastrous stay. She never replied. Less than professional. Extremely disappointing. Felt abandoned. How else to put it? We had reservations for Friday night, February 13th, our tenth wedding anniversary. We spent the first night of our marriage in a room on the third floor. We chose Bay View in part because... More

I booked a room with the Bayview Hotel through Hotels.com. I later found out that the wedding party had already booked rooms at a different hotel. So, I called and canceled my reservation. This was over a month before the reservation date. I then get a call the day after the reservation date from Bayview Hotel telling me I didn't... More

We called the hotel directly to make reservations for 2 nites. We asked for an early check-in. They told us we could check in at noon. We arrived at noon after 6 hrs of driving and they said there was no way the maid could have the room done at noon as checkout was 11:00am. They said it would be... More
