Close to Freeways and Food and Gas. Family Run and Rooms are a great size. Very helpful and friendly. The Corporate Rate came in handy.

When I first got to the Bays Inn all I wanted to do was cry. Everything in my life had just changed extremely. I had only the clothes on my back and a few personal items that I have to keep In my purse. I was uncomfortable at first, but not for long. The management is amazing is something needs to be changed freshened or whatever it may be they make sure that it is done happily. This is the most stress-free comfortable all in one place to be. The rates are awesome and the convenience of McDonald’s, Starbucks, and Chevron and now a Chicken King!! I love The convenience, the mannerism, the kindness, and the caring of everything about this home away from home.

My Experience at Bays Inn: --- I've had the pleasure of staying at this property for the past eight months, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. The new managers have truly made a world of difference--they are not only warm and welcoming but also go above and beyond to ensure their guests feel comfortable and cared for. The atmosphere here is peaceful and inviting, with a sense of community that is rare to find. The property is well-maintained, and any concerns are addressed promptly with kindness and professionalism. It's clear the new managers take great pride in what they do, and their passion for providing an excellent living environment truly shines through. I am so grateful for the opportunity to call this place home, even for a short while, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a joyful and stress-free stay at a affordable rate. Thank you Happy New Year

Love the owners there, they are the best. Wouldn't change my time there for nothing in the world. Amazing people, never had any problems there. It wasn't just a stay there, they was more like family. I would stay here again and again if I had to and recommend any to go there.
