Best Western Plus, Bayside


CHECKIN -- 👍 great

Great checkin experience: fast, friendly, & informative. The customer service was top notch.


ROOM [2 Queen Beds] -- 👎 poor

The room was clean, but had a heavy mildew odor. Opening the balcony door helped to circulate enough air to deal with the smell.

The electrical is in need of maintenance due to how the lights flicker + long delay when turning on (it doesn't feel like a safe or quality experience as a guest, especially for a $200/night stay). Lighting was also awkward & insufficient: there's an overhead light above a microwave & refrigerator (appliances which have their own lightbulbs & LEDs) and the remaining 300+ sqft is vast darkness.

If your balcony view is unobstructed, then this shouldn't be a problem & you'll enjoy a flood of natural light.


BED --  👍 great

Queen beds have a great firmness level with decent support. The bedding is also soft & the pillows are dense. The quality of sleep was amazing.


BATH -- 👎 bad

The bathroom is beautiful at first glance but the plumbing infrastructure isn't well maintained so the sink sprayed & leaked from underneath whenever we used it. 


WI-FI -- 👍 great 

Unencrypted but very performant.

--Performance--

Video streaming - good

Online gaming - great

Video chatting - great

8 ms latency

4 ms jitter


FOOD & DRINK --👍 great

DoorDash/UberEats friendly. 

The breakfast is actually delicious (bacon, potatoes, & real eggs), so give that a try.


NOISE -- 👍 ok

it's by the freeway, so set expectations accordingly... No complaints with guests or housekeeping. Generally peaceful & quiet.


RECOMMENDATION

Final Price:  $337.00/night

Was it worth it: no

Best part:  views

This place has a lot going for it: strong customer service, great location, & above average food. The maintenance/upkeep is where they drop the ball & need better management.

We cut our stay short because it wasn't ideal to air out another room or throw a bunch of towels at leaky pipes.

YMMV but in the current state I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you get a really REALLY good 3rd party deal.

2.5/5 ⭐️
