Extremely nice staff. Plenty of parking space. Good location to walk to bars. 15 minute drive to Boardwalk… Not too bad.
Only issues with the Hotel are the lack of outlets in the bedroom, and the shower temperature changing quickly with no warning.

The room was very clean upon arrival. Staff was super friendly. View of the beach was amazing from our balcony. Beautiful sunsets. It was very convenient for my husband and I and our three girls having the private beach and not needing to tote a bunch of stuff to the beachfront like we do when we stay seaside. Highly recommend for people with younger kiddos, my girls loved that it was calmer water and they could go further out with me than when we are in the ocean. Great experience for my first time staying bayside and we plan to return again next year!

The hotel and rooms were always kept clean and the staff very friendly and helpful. The private beach (on the bayside) was kept very nice and has lounge chairs set up as well. Watersports on the property is a nice touch. Having a pool inside and outside were also great amenities! Location is perfect for walking to Seacrets, Macky’s, mini golf, and other attractions along with only being one block to beach/ocean.

Only negative is my room did not offer an exhaust fan in it nor an a/c vent, therefore it was a bit warmer in there.

The room and the bathroom felt clean. A few hiccups when we stayed there: the front desk person told us the wrong building so we were really confused when we walked to the other one and couldn’t find our room number. The indoor pool was closed. The restaurant in the hotel isn’t serving food currently so that was a bummer when we finally decided to go there for dinner. Late checkout was also not available on Sunday. The tiny bayside beach was nice though. Overall would likely not stay again. But the price was right and location next to Seacrets would be perfect if you planned to have a night there.

We had a lovely stay for our girls' trip. The room was comfortable and our view of the bay was equisite. Staff were very friendly and kind and the location was super convenient, especially if you are a girlie who loves SEACRETS. The only thing I could say needs improvement is the decor. The adornments are not themetic and the colors and furniture in the room are a little dated. We also had a leaking ceiling outside of our door for much of the visit, but staff were on point making sure it was contained and not a hazard. This is definitely worth a visit.

I liked the Hotel, I had some issues though , So in order to get someone to clean the rooms we had to ask every single day. it’s not Daily Serviced. The roof top pool Bar was never opened the Entire 5 Days we stayed there which sucked that’s primarily one of the reason we stayed at this property. I loved the beach view Rooms, I really like that they had extra locks on the balconies that children could Not open for safety reasons . I just wished they had the bar open .

Arriving on Monday the rooms AC unit wasn’t properly working. I let staff know a few times throughout the week that the AC was on 66 but it was 81 degrees in the room!!! They had maintenance come a few times to try and fix it but it didn’t work. I asked for fans because of how hot it was, they said they didn’t have any. But when maintenance came for the second time I asked him and he gave me two fans. It was still 80 in our room, they didn’t offer us to move rooms until the day before we were leaving!!! I am pregnant and had children with me. We were there a week and the whole week it was 80-83 in the hotel room. It was awful.

Service and staff were excellent. Only issue i had was the rooftop pool. Someone should be there to keep an eye on the seagulls. They were swimming in the pool and as they flew off, they left their droppings in the water. Once I saw that, I couldn't let my children in for fear of ingesting that disgusting water. Now imagine if I didn't see that and my whole family to include a 2yr old entered the pool.

Room was OK, peeling wallpaper and paint over rust. Broke my toe on the slider door lip...

Rooftop pool was beyond gross...caked on bird poop an vomit. Was afraid to even walk barefoot or sit on the chairs.

Amenity advertised (48th st water sports) was closed and thats the 100% of the reson my daughter chose this hotel. On site restaurant was also closed and looked like it would have been very run down.

Non smoking property but the hallways were rank with the smell of illegal substances.

Also absolutely zero security...no card access to the \"private\" beach, elevators or pool...just anyone could walk in and use the pool or kidnap you from the hallway...follow you to your room ect.

Absolutely ZERO chance I would stay here again.

This was our 4th time staying at Princess Bayside and it’s a good value and clean property. The floors have all been redone that was really nice and the room was clean as usual. The only issue which is a big deal to us is there was no water pressure for a shower. When you turned on hot water and pulled the tab for it to divert to the shower it wouldn’t even stay on. They did try to resolve the situation but it really didn’t help. Showering with a coffee cup wasn’t the nicest experience but it was still a nice stay.

The only complaint I had was you could hear the hallway noise pretty loud (doors closing etc). And the air condition was reeeeally loud when it turned on.

Check in was easy and the staff were all polite and helpful with info regarding parking and the bus schedule for the event. The property was clean but dated and could use some upgrades to the beds and tvs especially. The onsite restaurant only functioned as a bar (no food available).

The bay view was wonderful and the private beach was really nice! The maid service checked in with us daily!
We wanted a room with a kitchenette and although there were sufficient plates, bowls, cups, glasses, and silverware, there was only one small pot with lid...and the pot was burned on the bottom! The only utensil besides silverware was one spatula for turning eggs...not very usable...no collander or other kitchen accessories. Also, there was no toaster, so I toasted bread in a pot! If you're going to call it a kitchenette, it would be a good idea to have some additional kitchen items, e.g. a working spatula and a knife to cut something...at the lest. Also, the bathroom sink faucet came off every tije it was turned on. Finally, the rugs were very dirty as evidenced when we walked on the carpet in our socks.
