Room was basic, very loud air conditioning and hotel is run down with no upkeep and rust everywhere. For the rate they charge it should have nicer rooms. Around the property it’s run down, paint falling off and thin walls so can hear everything so don’t get much sleep - We left at 5am as had been up the whole night and paid $350 a night on a Thursday. You can stay at Viceroy for same amount

We weren't at the hotel much as we were in town for a family funeral but the stay is always good. Great location for us and the beach is always comforting to look at. We have stayed at the Bayside often so we know it is comfortable, clean, and accommodating for our needs.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The cleaning was done thoroughly, but since the building itself is a bit old, the water facilities cannot be said to be very clean. Also, the filter part of the hair dryer was moldy, and it couldn't be used even when plugged into the outlet.

Delightful stay in Santa Monica

Had to find a place to stay while our house was fumigated. Bayside Hotel was in a great location, close to the beach and great restaurants. It was clean and comfortable, staff very helpful.
