Bay City Motel was very conveniently located, close to the shops and the waterfront. The staff and service was also excellent.
David
The room was very clean on arrival and the service on day 2 was excellent and somewhat unexpected, being a public holiday so we hadn't made any effort to tidy the room of our personal belongings. It is an easy walk to the Westfield shopping centre on Malop street and even closer to the Sir Charles Darling Hotel which serves a very good meal in the bistro.
The mattress was extremely firm, if you have trouble sleeping on a firm mattress it might be worth contacting the motel to see if they have rooms with softer mattresses.
The security chain on the door was also broken (half missing), needs to be fixed.

Verified traveler
Position, convenience, affordable.
We chose Bay City for its convenience, it's off main road position - which made it quiet, and its price. All of those things were there. The unit was clean and comfortable. My only criticism would be how hard the bed is, made more so by the electric blanket which we never use anyway. I know you can't please everyone all the time.
Nola
Outside surrounds were rather unkempt Potted plants had seen better days and looked half dead. First impressions. Otherwise all good!!

A good, clean location in easy walking distance of the foreshore and shops. Didn’t feel like the most secure of locations but it is a motel so should be expected and experienced no issues. Happily stay here again.

Yvonne
Briefly - management was rude, room was very dusty, table was wobbly with loose legs, shower had pubes in it. Was coughing with the dust in the room. Found the air conditioning filter was filthy. We cleaned it! Made all the difference. AND if you need to sleep while staying there.;you wont. The bed felt like we were trying sleep on concrete with timber laying on top. Unbelievably hard. Would have left after first night but had paid for 2 with an option for 3. Obviously didn’t take up the option to stay an extra night. Stayed at the Novotel instead. Not much more to pay, sleep in a very comfortable king be and the unit is designed well and clean.

Toilet needed a new lid/top or needed adjustment. Showerhead wouldn't stay up and needs repairs. Shower screen door needs adjusting. Would have been better if there were bowls and plates and knife and forks.

Clean and centrally located for restaurants and waterfront walks.
Ben
I transferred $200 as security straight to the lady in receptions account as was having technical problems doing it by card. Was told it would be transferred straight back into my account on departure. I saw her when leaving and she said she'd transfer it that morning. Haven't heard or received anything a day later. Payment can't be pending as I transferred to her already and we both use the same bank.
