4/10 Fair

I recently stayed at this property, and while it boasts a stunning location right on the bay, my experience was disappointing due to poor management and a lack of attention to detail. The location is fantastic—close to popular restaurants and nightlife. The property itself is gorgeous, offering incredible views of the water. However, the hotel lacks the leadership and hospitality expected from such a prime spot. Upon check-in, the owner was sitting off to the side in the lobby on his phone, offering no greeting or assistance. A young man walked us to our room, but no one offered help with our luggage, which was surprising. The room was clean but shabby and outdated, with an exposed light switch plate in the bathroom. The decor felt neglected, and there was a table on the upper deck right outside our window, allowing us to hear every conversation from guests sitting there. The restaurant on the property is beautiful, offering fantastic views, yet it was completely empty during our stay. In contrast, the restaurant across the street was bustling with a great atmosphere. Given the location, the hotel’s restaurant should have been the go-to spot, but it’s clear the property is poorly managed. Overall, while this hotel has incredible potential, it needs more care, attention, and stronger leadership. With proper improvements, it could be an amazing destination. As it stands, it feels like its best days are behind it.

No elevator made my stay difficult. My room was kind of clean but there was quite a bit of dust examples: the ceiling fan paddles and top of coffee machine to name a few. Before booking I called and made sure I could bring my service pet to both stay in my room with me and even dine with me. The staff were excellent except for the dining room mgr who refused to let me be seated in the restaurant with my service pet. The asst ‘Mgr helped make this upsetting situation better by taking my order and bringing it to me to eat on the 3rd floor deck.

I had an exceptional stay at Tavern on the Bay Resort! The serene atmosphere and stunning ocean views created the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, ensuring every detail of our stay was just right. The room was clean.The on-site dining was amazing, with delicious meals served in a charming setting. I highly recommend this resort to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat by the ocean.

It was a beautiful view from our balcony. Room was comfortable. Staff really wasn't very attentive at all. I asked for an extra blanket. They said they'd look and never came back about it. I asked again. He said he looked and there were none. Room was very cold. We left early and no staff there. I went out before my husband to the car with luggage. Little did I know the door locks behind you so he had to bring the rest down on his own. Overall happy with our stay.

NJ Not relaxing much needed vacation
Unfortunately it is not as depicted in pictures. Bed was horrible. Lumpy with nails from box spring poking mattress; staples sticking out side of mattress. E weren’t told we had to call for room service. Asked for clean sheets (done) and bath towels. Received two towels no clean hands towels or washclothes. They left dirty stuff in floor where we had stacked it. Gross. Called and requested and they would be right up. Didn’t happen. Next morning I let the manager know how unhappy we were. Came back for our last night to new towels and clean sheets. Air conditioning was antiquated. Hangers were from the 50. . . Maybe 60’s. View was a postage stamp size. No coffee in room and not available Monday and Tuesday and on Wednesday whenever the guy showed up but it stops at noon daily. No coffee even in restaurant. Needless to say for the $$$ we paid there are a list of other sad things with this room. Concept is good but I think we got taken financially. Someone needs to work with management to bring this up to par and make it a good stay.

Did not like much about the facility. Room was not very clean, sheets had holes, no tv, no coffee, no breakfast, sauna and tub were not very clean and the USA flag needed to be replaced. Dinner was below average. For the cost of this room we should have had much better accommodations. Never go back

Great get-away!
Loved our 2-day stay at Tavern on the Bay. Sam and his staff were so accommodating. Room was spotless and the view of the bay just perfect. Enjoyed learning about the history of the inn. Would definitely return again.

A lovely older hotel. Quiet and clean. Be aware that there is no elevator and the stairs are quite steep. The WiFi was a bit weak because we were on the third floor. But we enjoyed a great night’s sleep for a very reasonable price.

Beautiful historic building. Only down side would be the steps to the rooms but of course it is expected as an old building. Two gentlemen on our arrival day was very friendly and did take our bags up for us. Host the next day (Sunday) not so approachable or friendly. Not a smile to be seen. View from 3rd floor deck was great. Maybe a bit more comfortable seating and an umbrella would be a plus but still loved it. Took the A/C’s about 2 hrs to really get the room cool. Then they worked like a charm. Would suggest to friends and would return for another stay sometime.
