It’s an older property that has an old elevator with doors that are opened manually. It was interesting using it but a bit difficult when your arms are full of luggage. Location was great very close to the beach. Loved the rooftop patio. Would definitely stay here again!

I was a newcomer to the area picked the Bay Shores based on Trip Advisor reviews. I am so happy I did. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming. It's an older property but it has character and cookies! Warren is a gem....not fancy but located a block off the Bay and The Beach and walkable to shops and restaurants...I hear it's been purchased and undergoing a renovation. So sad, it's perfect the way it is. Update the rooms and leave the rest alone.

Very nice, nostalgic hotel. No frills, but clean with a very friendly and helpful staff. 20 second walk to the bay, 30 second walk to the beach. Cute old elevator and rooftop patio. We'd definitely stay there again.

Posted on the hotel web site: We checked out on Wednesday 10/19/22 - room #301 and have a request: Please refund the $66 parking ticket we got parking in front of the Hotel that morning. No one in the hotel informed us not to park on Wednesday morning and we did not see the sign that was in the far end of the street. The hotel promised one parking per room and the hotel lot was full. We see this as the hotel responsibility and expect to get that $66 refunded so a positive review can be entered. Above was posted on the hotel web site on October 19 and there was no response as of October 25th.

We stayed here for our annual Girls Weekend Out. We had a great 1st impression and were pleasantly surprised from the time we checked in. Warren was at the front desk and checked us in. He was very helpful funny and friendly and made us feel at home. We 1st noticed the bowl of candy and the fresh baked cookies! The hotel is in the perfect location. 1 block from the beach. It has more of a quaint Bed and Breakfast kind of ferl because of the homey feel. They serve Continental breakfast with good healthy choices to get your through the morning. Great selection of several hot teas and coffee. Every thing was clean. A variety of individually wrapped breads for toast, and individually wrapped hard boiled eggs. Fresh fruit, a good variety of cold cereal, juice and even soy milk for your coffee or cereal. In the afternoon they serve fresh baked cookies and had individual bags of tortilla chips and salsa! They have an awesome rooftop area to hang out and watch the sunset. We ordered take out dinner and watched the Sunset as our last night there. It was a perfect ending. They also have beach toys, boogie boards, beach chairs and towels. No need to pack that stuff from home. The rooms are nicely sized. We had a large room with 2 queen beds. Lots of storage space, a refrigerator, coffee with coffee maker and a table and chairs. When we arrived there was a Thank You card from Warren on the bed( the management) to say thank you for staying with them. It's the little things that make you want to go back. We had an awesome Girls Weekend. We will definitely return and I highly recommend this place. They even have a vintage phone in the lobby that works if you need to call another room! Thank you for a wonderful stay

Very pleased with everything. Great staff, location and very clean. Honestly one of the best vacation experiences I've ever had. The carpet could be replaced, and I was told they were going to be doing renovations soon. I would highly recommend staying there again.

Great place. Cute boutique hotel. Stayed several times. Love the location. Rooftop is nice to sit with morning coffee or an evening glass of wine looking out over the harbor. Beach is a short walk across the street. Parking can be tough.

Kristen (spelling?) was an absolute delight! We felt right at home from the first call to book a room. The hotel is quaint, kitschy, and in a great location, but Kristen made the experience truly memorable! We plan to be back in a year or after the renovations... Cheers! Steve and Robin Allen
