The above says it all. Staff can not do enough for you. Excellent service, a rare find in the USA today. Breakfast was excellent. Clean and very comfortable rooms. Good hi speed wifi. Sunny roof terrace, great beach 60m's away. Special mention to John on reception, keep up the fantastic work. We stayed for 3 nights, we could have stayed... More

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel. We checked in late but the staff member still showed us around the hotel and gave us the run down on all the amenities. Parking is limited, but they will feed the meter at the city lot across the street. One night, a staff member told us to park... More

To see this hotel from the outside, it looks like a three star, at best, hotel. I sent a photo of the hotel to my wife (I was staying alone) and her comment was, "I'm sorry." It is almost more a motel than a hotel. You have access to the bedrooms from the parking lot. The lobby is nothing special.... More

I was hesitant to stay at the Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel at first - I thought that perhaps the reviewed were too good to be true - but I am sure glad that we did. My husband also loved it. He told me that I was responsible for the accommodations during our vacation. Let me say that there is a... More

This place is fantastic. The rooms are faultlessly clean with new fixtures, carpet and modern furniture - mini-fridges in the rooms make it easy to make simple meals. The lobby has a small kitchen area with toasters and microwaves, etc. available for meal preparation as well. Breakfast is served daily and offers lots of choices, and fruit and cookies are... More

this hotel is exactly what i would expect for a laid back surf town. unpretentious and amazing! The staff was awsome, rooms clean and comfortable and the best roof top deck for million dollar views . The marina is in the back of the hotel and across the street is the beach. Easy walking distance to Balboa Island and restaurants.... More

The hotel has a rooftop deck and if you look to the west..it is ocean...look to the east..the bay...amazing views! I highly suggest this... More

From the moment we walked in the hotel upon our arrival, we were made to feel absolutely at home and welcome. The customer service was phenomenal, especially from Ralph, John and Bruce. All of the team members went out of their way to help us with whatever we made known to them. However, Ralph went above and beyond the call... More

Absolutely loved it here. Couldn't have been happier. The rooms were lovely, with all the facilities you could need. Very clean and comfortable. Value for money is brilliant. Roof top provides beautiful views with the harbour on one side and beach on the other. Really good location with walking distance to a host of restaurants and bars. Staff couldn't do... More

Our family has been coming here for years. The reason for our return year after year...month after month is the feeling that is's our second home. The staff is like our second family. The ones you truly love! They are always so willing and helpful with just about anything. The breakfast is the perfect way to start out any day.... More
