Staff was extremely friendly. They did a great job. Most rooms don’t have AC so if you need that to sleep, you may have to request that. Room was comfy. Shower was good. We also utilize their laundry service and it was great.

I stayed here for three nights. It was a really nice place to stay. Appreciated the 3rd floor room with a view. It was nice to have windows that can open all the way, unfortunately it was cold and cloudy most of the time. It is located right next to Ocean World (a tour-only aquarium), so I can hear the seal noises all the time. Room is carpeted. Very quiet, got 10/10 sleep. The fridge is tucked away in the cabinet so it kept the room quiet. A bit unusual to have the sink outside of the bathroom, but it works. A bit of a mildew smell in the room, but not a bother.

Stayed two nights while touring the area. Great room. Comfortable; beds more on firm side. Staff excellent. Basic budget hotel. Noise from other rooms could be heard so thin walls I think. Restaurants in walking distance. Lots of parking. |Thanks for a great sleep.

Located walking distance to resterants,stores, ocean. Very clean room. Lots of hot water Coffee pot,fridge,microwave. Lots of plugs-ins by bed. Beds comfortable but have the old style floral bedspreads. They are updating rooms heard they be white blanket coverings instead of old fashioned bedspeads. Would stay here again when in area.

Staff is kind and friendly, 1 small request, maybe 1 or 2 soft pillows all of mine were over stuffed, hard. Neck hurt the next day. |All in all wow what a view! Nice walk and great room. Thank you I would definitely refer my friends and family to stay!.

Nice and close to the northern entrances to the Redwoods. Short drive to the Grove of Titans, Boy Scout trail, etc. Plenty of service nearby (restaurants, stores, fast food, gas). Definitely 5 stars for value. Room and bathroom were clean and amenities. Fridge, microwave, coffee maker in the room (and coffee dispenser in the lobby). Both evening and morning staff were pleasant and helpful with local advice and good recommendations. This isn't the Ritz, but for the price I wasn't expecting that. What I did get was a clean room, nice hot shower with plenty of flow, and a comfortable, quiet bedroom. Definitely would recommend it.

Comfortable bed, slept well, clean rooms, amazing view, hot shower and bathtub, nice size desk for computer time at end of work day. Will definitely be back. ( not a complaint.....but could use a pillow or 2 that ate not hard maybe 1 or 2 soft pillows with the other 1 or 2 hard. Hurts neck) but all n all amazing stay!

Really great place to crash for a night after a long day on the 101. The staff were so kind and accommodating. The room was really clean and super comfy. Gonna have to remember this for next time for sure. Thanks!

I stayed in this hotel because I wanted to be the closest to the Redwood National Forest. All hotels near the Redwood National Forest were filled up. I've never been to Crescent City before, and I found this small city to be pleasant and welcoming. The hotel reviews are not so great, but my stay was just okay. For $130 a night, and just one night, I was satisfied because I was able to sleep. It was quiet, the parking lot was safe for my car. There's a microwave, hot water pot for instant coffee. Free instant coffee, sugar, cups, and stirring sticks are provided by the hotel. In addition, there were pouches of body wash and shampoo in the bathroom. TV with a list provided for the various channels. I was not disappointed. I gave four stars because my girlfriend felt the bathroom towels were not 100% clean. If you do not want to pay $500+ for a hotel, or if you're on a budget, this is the hotel for you.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here on our way to Oregon. We arrived at night time and were very tired. The front desk lady was super nice and showed us what there is to do in crescent city. One thing was that she charged me for the room even though I had already paid. She was able to cancel it but of course I had to wait for it to clear and get refunded. We finally walked into the facility which was an annex separate from the hotel. Immediately it smelled like cigarettes even though there were signs all over stating "no smoking" Walked into the room which was descent. Of course I checked for bed bugs and bed seemed to be clean. As we're lying down, we hear knocking on our window. Some girl asking us to let her in. We also noticed a white van with people in it just hanging out outside. I then realized there were just alot of weird people coming and going and hanging out. I didn't get to sleep at all that night. Woke my boyfriend up at 5am and told him I didn't feel safe here and for us to go. Front desk was nice enough to just charge for the night. This hotel is cool is you're a heavy sleeper or just need somewhere to crash throughout your roadtrip.

My son and I just did a 14 day roadtrip along the coast of Calif/Oregon?Washington. We stayed at your Bayview Inn the evening of Sept 9th. We stayed in a downstairs room facing the ocean. #1. The lady in the office had left a sign saying she would be back in 15 min. It ended up being much more. BUT she is kind, helpful, very busy with 3 people waiting besides us. She was your shinning star. The rest of the motel was HORRIBLE. In all our travels I have NEVER seen such a filthy threadbare motel and I am a hiker and camper and don't need a lot of pampering but it was raining slightly and we were very tired from driving and needed a motel instead rather then tent camping. I pulled back the bedspread first as I always fold it up and set it on the dresser. It was stained terribly and the sheets were thin and stained. I actually went out to the truck and got our big beach towels to put on the sheets and and our own pillows since I did not want to lie in the stained sheets. I took a picture with my cellphone to show you the tattle tail gray thin sheets. I've honestly never stayed in a place so gross. The cover that goes around the bottom base of the bed was stained with something that looked like either old blood or coffee. That picture is RIGHT after I pulled back the covers. You can see how poorly the bed is made. I used to work in a motel as a maid and this would never be allowed! The washcloths and towels were also stained and so thin I wouldn't even donate to a thrift store for rags. Honestly, I don't see how the health dept or whoever sees motels allow you to stay open. There was also NO SCREEN on the windows. We left the window open a crack because there is no air conditioner in the room either and we needed air since it smelled. NO screen on the windows? Homeless people were wandering around all night which made me concerned about our truck but the lady at the front desk gave us a room where we could park right in front of our room. She was very helpful. I honestly felt like I needed to take a shower and toss my pillow in the trash after sleeping on that bed. Oh very uncomfortable lumpy beds too. I have slept in a tent and hiked for 40 miles over 5 days and felt less dirty! You need to do something about the worn, stained sheets, bedding and towels. Susan Jackson

We got the room with 3 queen sizes beds. The room was HUGE. The beds were VERY comfortable. Usually I can't STAND hotel beds, but these were very nice as were the pillows. We also had a pretty nice view (2nd floor). My only complaints were that the curtains need replaced (torn at the bottom & holes throughout it) & none of the windows have screens. We were only there 2 nights & we ended up with our garbage overflowing because noone came & emptied it or replaced towels. Definitely worth what we paid for the room. If we end up in the area again, we will definitely be staying there again

I do not recommend the Bayview Inn. The rooms are disgusting. The cleaning service obviously do not take pride in their work. I was appalled at the room I was given. I requested a different room which the front desk provided saying they were "upgrading" me. It did not feel like an upgrade considering the sheets smelled like mildew and there were still stains on the floor. Do not book here, it is dirty and extremely uncomfortable. Next time I visit I will not stay here. You are better off staying in a motel 6, at least they follow public health standards.

This hotel was a huge disappointment. It's dated, in disrepair, and cleanliness was a concern for me. The mattress was uncomfortable. There were cigarette burns in a few places around the room and it smelled like dog. The location was a benefit as was the price. There's a frig in the room.

If you value cleanliness and would like to save yourself from back pain avoid this place at all costs. We stayed here during Easter weekend and when we arrived our initial room they gave us was in horrible condition. It looked like a crime scene. Stains literally everywhere. On the carpet,furniture,bathtub and even the bed sheets! The room was dirty and dusty like they haven't cleaned it in years! The shower was even missing the bathtub portion it was just a shower with curtains and flat on the bottom so it would just spill into the rest of the bathroom. (maybe meant for handicap folks but not too sure). We brought this to the attention of the young woman who was at the front desk. Didn't catch her name but she was extremely nice but she has to work on her manners because she was gross. She literally burped loudly in front of us and continued like nothing happened. She did upgrade us to another room for free for the inconvenience which we appreciated. Upon entering the new room it was a bigger suite and the room didn't scream clean and sanitized but it was a night and day difference. While it did feel alot better with the room I would still recommend wearing slippers/shoes/socks at all times. Also the window screen was missing so be careful leaving any windows open as bugs or other unwanted visitors might come in. Not too sure why the first room looked like a murder scene but the 2nd room looked decent. The cleaning crew could definitely work on their consistency. Once we were satisfied we went about our day and came back to the room. Everything was fine until we laid in bed. At first the bed felt cheap but we just needed somewhere to sleep for the night so we aren't picky. It wasn't until morning that both me and the Mrs felt a pain in our lower backs. Never before have I felt such pain in my back to the point where I feel like someone took a baseball bat to my back. We stayed for 3 nights and I am still feeling the effects of that terrible bed. Our lower backs have never felt worse. The pain is so bad we had to go see our chiropractor to help relieve the pain! Overall if your just looking for a cheap place to stay with the lowest of the low standards this place is just for you. For anyone else that cares about themselves or others I would look elsewhere and even suggest spending a little more just to avoid this place entirely.

I would not recommend this motel to anyone. The motel is in major need of repair and general maintenance (plumbing, electrical etc.). The sound insulation is lacking, and you can hear the traffic on 101 all night long. Upon checking out they refused (including manager) to give me a receipt because I booked the hotel through booking.com. He said to get the invoice from them even though Booking.com on their website states that the hotel will provide invoices. There are much better choices in Crescent City.

Location, Location, Location!!! Walking distance to the Pier, lots of nearby restaurants, next door to the aquarium + water views. UPDATED PET POLICY: Effective 1/22/21, no longer allowing pets. 5-STARS for VALUE! We booked directly with the hotel 3 weeks in advance + 10% Military Discount= Best Price. The King Bed Jacuzzi Suite is VERY SPACIOUS! Located in the 2nd building (not the original building with the office). It has a private balcony with a clear but distant view of the water. Large Jacuzzi tub with 6 jets and it filled up surprisingly fast! We added the motel provided conditioning shampoo for an instant bubble bath *YAY* The King Bed was a little to firm for my liking (my personal preference) and the 3 small pillows were comfortable enough, but I always bring an extra pillow so I was fine. This room has a standard motel mini fridge with a tiny freezer cubbie, microwave and a 1-cup coffee maker. Shower water was Hot, the water pressure good and no issues with any faucet. I'm picky about my coffee; I found the coffee to be UNdrinkable. The room is acceptably clean (some kid had Cheeto fingers and dragged them across the wall), well worn furniture and bedding is clean but also well worn. The heating and a/c worked great, but we only needed the fan *good weather day* Again: Location is Awesome and this place is an EXCELLENT VALUE overall! Keep your socks on and bring an extra pillow *thumbs up* I would stay here again. Bonus: 10% off at Apple Peddlers (the restaurant next door) when you mention that you're staying here.

Was in town to see the Redwood and decided to stay here for 2 nights. Price for the room was reasonable but the unit didn't have A/C. Asked if there's any rooms with a/c and was told it would be more money. So I went with a room with a/c. Sheets and pillow cases had stains on them. "GROSS". Had to wait until the next day to asked for new sheets and pillow cases, since house keeper has gone for the day.

Rooms were clean and a nice size with microwave and refrigerator. We got what we expected from a reasonably priced border town stay. Pleasantly surprised by the washer/dryer on site.

Labor Day weekend 3 night stay. Needless to say...This is not a very clean hotel! Zero cleaning room service! We placed the card thing on the door to have our room freshened and hoped clean towels but the night time clerk Jocelyn ( Sunday Sept.3) said, we have posted at check in that you have to ask for service. Um, my husband checked us in and was not made aware that we needed to ask for our 3 day stay. She then told us we could come down and get new towels. She was very rude and unprofessional. We will not be returning. Better service at a motel 6. This is an old outdated, run down hotel. The carpet is nasty!! Told my kids to wear socks or flip flops at all times. No screens on windows. Thankfully on second floor. Smoking apparently is ok in hallways... It was so stinky!!! Ms. Jocelyn thank you for your unprofessional attitude. You saved us several hundreds of dollars because we will never return! People like you ruin community economies. If people don't return, you lose your job!

Charles E. Reply to my post is incorrect he was not at the hotel at the time and is simply fabricating the facts to smear my name. Most likely his staff lied to him because they're afraid of being fired. The police left after it was clear that I had done nothing wrong. The rest of the night I had to listen to two persons partying in their car sniffing speed in the parking lot outside of my window. Attacking a customer is not what I would call good management. The police seemed to be annoyed at having to visit the hotel again and we're very polite to me and my family.

Bayview Inn is very affordable and is not a bad place to stop for the night during your road trip. Clean. Dry. Hot water. Cable included. Mini-fridge.

I'm willing to put up with a lot for a decent priced hotel, but there is a lot of truth in the adage regarding getting what you pay for. I think what the Bayview Inn is really lacking is decent housekeeping staff. While it's not the nicest or newest hotel, nearly all of its drawbacks could be very easily solved by a qualified housekeeper or two and a management system that took pride in the place. However, not giving a crap abounds here. From the nearly deplorable conditions of the room to every interaction with staff this was reinforced. Dirty stained floors, cracked tub surround, debris all over, cup of very old coffee and cig butts on deck, unemptied coffee pot, no coffee, only one coffee cup, dirty window, I could go on, but what's the point. Interactions with staff were the same, waiting for a break in the constant barrage of phone calls from current guest not being able to work this or missing that Etc. I will say that check in was simple beyond that, and that while frazzled, the front desk person was quite nice if a bit inept. Overall, I feel I deserve a refund that I won't get.... And an apology that won't be enough. Like I said at the beginning...... with a much needed assist from Meatloaf..... I'll overlook a whole lot for a good deal, especially on an in room spa tub suite.... But I won't do that!

My recent post did not get posted about this place. After 45 years of staying here last weekend was the last ever. I would sleep in my car if need be at this price. Hole in carpet was the worst, dripping tub faucet that i had to put a towel around to stop the noise. Reefer that would not stop running, empty so not needed. The staff is and always have been great. It is sad that this owner has let this place go so far. It is a cash cow, but you have to make improvements faster than it deteriorates. I and my family stayed here for years, diner next door. Also this was the highest I have ever paid. Had a room the next night in Corvallis, Best Western, great property. 60.00 dollars more for a first class room. There are other places in CC. I am told the same owner owns the new property to the North. Hope this one is sold soon. Needs new caring owners. I would expect that to happen soon. Photo of my room carpet. Very nice.

You get what you pay for. The building is old and tired, although they've worked to try to make it clean. Pros: The room was plenty big enough for two adults. Nice vanity area to spread out our stuff on. The beds were comfortable enough. Cons: 1. The TV did not work. It kept saying 'no input.' It also could have been either mounted on the wall or on a higher furniture; it would have had toes blocking it. 2. The small refrigerator was on the floor, so one has to get down on hands and knees to look around. 3. The refrigerator froze just about all of what we kept in it, causing us to lose about $15-20 worth of produce and beverages. The temperature control knob was imbedded in solid ice, so we could not adjust it. 4. There are no USB plugs anywhere, luckily we had one with us. If I needed accommodations in the future I'd start by exploring other options.

My wife and I arrived on a Saturday afternoon, May 22 without a reservation. The front desk assigned us room 112. When we opened the door, we noticed that the room was still occupied. A wheelchair was in the room, the bed was not fully made, and personal bath products filled the bathroom counter. The excuse from the front desk was that the maid had not cleaned out the room yet. I don't think so. The front desk reassigned us to room 214 which faces the noisy freeway. When we entered this room, the heater was on full blast. It felt like a sauna. We turned down the thermostat but had to open the window to cool down the room. (The outside temperature was under 60°F.) Beyond all this, the room was okay for the price we paid, but I would not want to stay here again.

Clean, friendly staff, coffee maker, microwave, fridge, tub with cable, WiFi hairdryer . Great price. Easy to get to. Nice diner next door with a discount for people staying at Bayview . Only complaint is the walls are thin and you can hear people run their shower or tub late at night. But honestly it was not really an issue. I would stay here again

Definitely a Motel.. not a Hotel. There is something very gutterbutt about the rooms and the meth heads surrounding the area. The rooms are not throughly cleaned which is an easy fix -pick up a vacuum cleaner and actually use it. Use some elbow grease when cleaning. Basic shit. New tub lining, also a cheap easy fix that would've made my tub look inviting instead of riddled with cigarette burns. +1 star is for the water pressure in the showers. That's a big deal for me, so at least you got that right. -1 star for the fact that when anyone in the building uses their shower, we are all woken up by it because it's so loud.

ZERO STARS Bed bugs. That's all I have to say there is bed bugs here there has always been and they do nothing about it. All they did when we went to the front was give us quarters to re wash our clothes and put us in another room. They should shut this place down!!!

The price is decent but I'd probably never stay here again. First - no AC. I understand in crescent city it's typically cold and no need for it, however when the bathroom fan doesn't work and the whole room gets hot after showering, it would be nice to have as an option. Instead I was given an old, dusty/dirty fan to use. Then the shower knob wouldn't work and you had to tug on it forever to get the shower to turn on. The shower head also kept coming off. The phone wasn't working because there wasn't even a cord attached to it. The blankets were dirty and stained. Thank goodness we brought our own and were only staying one night. I've also known some people who've stayed here that found bugs in the bed. The carpet smelled pretty bad. And lastly, you could hear every single thing going on. Don't plan on getting much sleep here. When the person upstairs turns on the water or flushes the toilet, it's LOUD. I'd rather spend a little more money for somewhere cleaner. ****EDIT / RESPONSE TO OWNER*** I'm not sure how to reply to the owner's reply to my review, so I'm writing it here. I stayed this past Friday night (8/30, stayed in room #103 i believe) I'm confused how you could already say you don't have a record of my stay... when you don't have my information. Second, I don't understand how you could say you've never received complaints like mine... when you literally have a review very similar to mine that was posted 17 days ago.

Looks nice from the outside but run down on the inside. Sheets did not fit right on the bed, blow drier did not turn off unless you unplug it, faucet did not work properly and we had to ask for coffee that did not taste good. Not to mention the junior size toilet.

DON'T STAY HERE!!!! It's gross and doesn't feel safe. I requested an early check-in when I booked and they said they couldn't promise until I checked in. I got there at 1:00 for a 2:00 check in. The young man at the counter didn't want anything to do with me until 2:30. He was dismissive and rude. The front side of the building looked very promising, but when I finally got into my room, it was definitely not worth the wait. My room was in the building in the back of the parking lot. It was supposed to be a Superior King. It was a very small dark, very old, dingy, dirty room. Not to mention the creepers hanging out outside, the trash in the door way going into the building, the tight creepy old stairway, and the entrance to our room being in a small alcove behind the stairs in the corner of the building. It did have a view of the bay, if you could look past the homeless in the street behind the building and the tagged/spray painted "art studio" in the view. I walked in and turned around and walked right out. I couldn't stay there. I was lucky to find another hotel available, and Booking.com was kind enough to refund my money since I did not feel safe at the Bayview Inn. I returned the key and couldn't get out of the parking lot fast enough.

I sitting here trying hard to say something positive. desk clerk was nice enough. The app made me give them a star. I honestly can't remember staying in a worse motel, I must have, but nothing comes to mind. The place is so dirty, shabby. The pillows are cracker thin with stained cases. I actually went to Walmart and bought my own bedding, towels and pillows. I didn't trust the bedding based on room filth. I was right. When I stripped the bed there was disgust under the sheets and under the mattress pad. Here for business on their dime and it's late so no option to move on. I know help is hard to find right now, but I found a tube of lube and brown slime under the mattress pad. At least change and wash the sheets. I don't need fancy amenities but the room and bedding need to be clean. Never, again. I'll drive 2 hours before I stay here again.

This place is absolutely disgusting. My family and I stopped here after a ten hour road trip from Astoria completely exhausted. We immediately noticed that only one light was working outside the office, the other was flickering almost presenting a spooky, eerie , foreboding vibe. The receptionist, after she came out of her smoky, cigarette stank cave took my credit card and gave me a room on the bottom floor next to the staircase and sketchy parking lot. Next to our room was a 5 gallon bucket filled with God knows what. We walked past their laundry room only to see the creepiest tweeker ever doing his laundry. As we entered the room the musty smell of cigarettes consumed us. The walls were filthy, carpet near the door was shredded as if someone had left their dog in there. The window.....no screen, the bathroom was so gross! Filthy , stained toilet, chipped tile , mildew on the shower curtain, and a dirty mirror. The furniture was worn, torn and ancient. The bedding was thin and dingy. I knew we couldn't stay here.. I was exhausted but knew we could never sleep in this room. Before I walked back to the office, I decided to lift the mattress on one of the queen beds.....and there they were.....4 of the biggest bed bugs I have ever seen. I was ready to puke. My wife looked like she was ready to pass out. I immediately put everyone back in the car and had them lock the doors. I went back to the office and told the woman what I had seen in the last 5 minutes and demanded my money back. She reluctantly voided my charge. No apology, no concern....total apathy in her voice.......I drove 40 minutes south and stayed in Arcata. The whole vibe of this place is horrid. There are numerous methed out tweekers wandering the sea of abandoned cars in the parking lot. These rooms are party rooms. I am convinced that drug addicts pool their cash to rent rooms here and go big. No upstanding human being could EVER feel safe here!!!Numerous long haul truckers sleeping in their big rigs surround the parking lot. I cannot over state the foul impression this place left on me. My wife and I couldn't stop talking about that room the whole next day! It was that bad! Honestly. Don't ever stop here unless you have a loaded gun. Never bring your wife or kids near this place. I was ashamed I even parked my car and brought my family into this environment. It is not possible for this place to have anything more than a one star rating. These cheery, positive reviews on Yelp are bogus. PLEASE heed my warning. This place is fucking DESPICABLE.

I will never stay here again even if someone paid me. Our room was dark, had a bad smell, room and furniture are old and dated, the chair was ripped and the carpet had a huge hole which was a tripping hazard and was filthy. The carpet was so filthy that the bottoms of my white house slippers turned black from the filth. Our door didn't close tightly which resulted in open space all around the door big enough to let in a cold draft and light from outside lights. Towels, sheets and blankets were old and worn and pillows were old and flat. Our room was located right next to the laundry room so we could hear all the noise from the machines, and late at night the homeless people washed their clothes and congregated right outside our door talking. I didn't feel safe. We could even hear when the neighbor used their shower for the plumbing was noisy. We were never told that they had planned to power wash the outside of the motel over the 2days we were there, nor were we offered a discount for the inconvenience and noise. Because of the power washer and hose we had to park our vehicle farther out in the parking lot. The floor in the bathroom was dirty especially around the toilet. The toilet paper roll was almost empty with no backup provided, the coffee maker only had one coffee bag no sugar, creamer, stirrers or cups provided and there was food left in the fridge from the previous customer which was already going bad and left a bad odor. When we left I felt dirty staying in disgusting conditions that when I got home I disinfected all my belongings that were in the room.

Hey, this isn't the Four Seasons but guess what? Your not paying for the Four Seasons! What you get is a clean, comfortable room at a really good price. This was the second time I stayed here and have no problems recommending it. They offer various discounts so be sure to ask. By the way, the bed was really comfortable!

Beds are very hard and uncomfortable even my kid said it was hurting her back. Pillows are hard as well both me and my husband couldn't sleep comfortably at all. the beds had trash all underneath them. The shower leaked water all over the floor as well. Not worth 82 $ a night when its dirty and beds hurt your back

Reserved a double queen room for 3 nights through snap travel. We got room 208. The outside of the motel and lobby looked decent. When we got to our room, my husband and I were pretty grossed out. As we looked around the room, there was brown stuff smeared on the curtains, tons of crumbs on the night stand with someone's purple hair tie sitting there. A bunch of crumbs, dirt, and who knows what else on the floor. You could tell it hadn't been vacuumed in awhile. The bathroom floor was just nasty and a lid to a shampoo on the floor in there. We pulled the quilt back on the first bed and there was liquidy brown stuff (which I hope was chocolate) smeared on the blanket underneath. We checked out the 2nd queen and there was more brown stuff smeared on the side of the box springs, but the sheets seemed clean enough, just dinghy. I ended up making a trip to the local Walmart and bought lysol fabric disinfectant, chlorox wipes, and microban 24 hour disinfectant spray along with a full bedding set. Ended up stripping the better bed and spraying the hell out of it along with the curtains and floor. Wiped everything else down and sprayed it and put the new bedding on the bed, we were comfortable enough to sleep in there. Took a couple hours and the wipes I used were black. It was pretty gross. We had read reviews before booking here and they seemed to have a good rating so I don't know if it's because we booked through snaptravel or what but we definitely don't recommend.

My family and I stayed here out of pure desperation a couple months ago. While the price was great, the room was filthy. My dog got terribly sick after walking on the carpet. My daughter took a shower and walked from the shower to the bed and the bottom of her feet were completely black from the filthy floor. There were bugs, and maybe that's just a beach thing? I don't know. I wish we had slept in our car. The worst part by far was how ill our poor dog got. I truly do think ANYWHERE would be better than this place.

Amber who works for this establishment, has excellent fantastic customer service skills!! She went above and beyond to fix a booking problem and it SAVED ME BIG TIME! This issue was supposed to be fix by booking.com, however, she made it her issue and FIXED everything for me!! Thank you ... I didn't get a chance to stay there but it looked fantastic and with customer service like Amber I'm sure it would be well worth it! Thanks again Amber good job BAYVIEW INN for hiring her!!!

It's really not good we stayed in a room that was supposed to be no smoking and we smelt smoke you can get a headache just from staying there in the doorway. If I could give it 0 stars I would. There is no care in its rooms and you could smell smoke from a mile away It's just really bad and I don't know how it even has 2 stars DONT STAY HERE

This hotel has bed bugs! I had over 40 bites and had to be hospitalized from complications. I complained to staff and they didn't believe me even after showing proof. The receptionist acted as if I was inconveniencing her by bringing it up and was not apologetic at all. I've contacted the public health department in Del Norte county to notify them.

Well Charles if your business goes off only a name to determine if someone can stay at your roach motel then you are a crappy business man. The only info you had for my son was his name and email. Everything else was my info. My family has never rented any room from any motel in cresent city ever.

This hotel was dirty and loud. Room had a weird odor. Sink didn't drain correctly and shower faucet leaked. Did not feel safe. Lighting above the bed was in a weird position.

Labor Day weekend.... we called and reserved our room as soon as we get there they tell us they sold our room already even thought we had a reservation. Every hotel was already booked by then so we had to drive out of town to brooking.

Stay somewhere else. There are 4 cars in the lot that have obviously been parked here forever. The free wifi is next to nonexistent. There are no chain locks on the doors. There are loud noises everywhere and the curtains don't keep the light out. What's good here you ask? The price and I'm not even sure I got what I paid for. Do yourself a favor and pay a few extra bucks to stay at a place that actually wants other business than the town flunkies.

Pet friendly. We would stay somewhere fancy in Crescent City if we didn't have pets, however there are no "pet fees" here and the rooms are obviously clean and maintained. The service desk was clean, and I received a friendly greeting as well as advice for what I should do in town with my dog. The worst I can say is that we had to air out the room when we are because it smelled of cleaning solutions... I mean, is that a bad thing when you stay at a motel? I opened the door for a few minutes and it was fine. I recommend the Bayview Inn.

This hotel was the only place in an eight-day, three-thousand-mile road trip where Yelp reviews let us down. When we walked into the hotel lobby, there was an elderly Japanese man checking in to the hotel through an interpreter (perhaps his grandson). The clerk asked if he minded being above the first floor and, after the question and his answer were translated, she gave him a third-floor room. His interpreter came back two minutes later to ask where the elevator was. She explained that there wasn't one, then told us, after he'd closed the door, "I *asked* if they minded being off the first floor." So she had, but she hadn't bothered to make sure that the elderly man understood that he'd have to carry his heavy-looking suitcase up two steep flights of stairs. When I got into the room, I thought that the smell might be explained by the room having been recently designated non-smoking. By the time I woke up in the morning, I was convinced it was mold. After getting out of the shower, I thought it might be dead bodies. When I checked out, I was convinced that it was the horrible yet indescribable scent associated with the undead in some vampire novels. The bed managed the difficult trick of being both too hard and insufficiently supportive. I've slept on a wide variety of hotel beds without problems, but this one left my back and neck stiff for the rest of the day. The pillows on the bed were the thinnest and cheapest I've ever slept on in a hotel. Rather than putting the bathroom sink in a sensible place, like the bathroom, it's six feet from the bed, and the water is incredibly loud and forceful. The point seems to be that washing your hands when you get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night will inevitably result in a loud rush of water that splashes your sleeping partner on the bed. There is, in fact, a view of the bay from the window in units that face in the appropriate direction.

Great place to stay over the weekend I tend to driveout to Creasant City for the weekend and this place is the best so far from the other places I have stayed. The rooms are huge. I had a room with 2 queen beds a flat screen TV and a couch. The room was so spacious I was able to do my workouts without a problem. The sink is in the room and not in the bathroom but mostly all hotels out there are set up that way. The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. And the best part was that I couldn't hear the traffic at night so my sleep wasn't interrupted. The beach is right behind and there was an amazing Mexican restaurant right across the street. The prices of the rooms are very reasonable. I will definitely book again.

The Bayview inn is a cheap hotel, so don't expect 5 star luxury and a breakfast. My girlfriend and I came in to town at around 11:00pm planning on camping in the redwood forest. It started poring as soon as we entered the city limits and we decided to get a hotel rather than try to set up camp in the rain. All the other hotels were either closed or full, probably of like-minded would-be campers, so we stopped at this Inn. Not only was there space available, but it was very cheap at 70 dollars for the night. The desk clerk was courteous and funny, and got us booked in quickly and with a minimum of fuss, even though it was so late. The room was clean, though it did smell slightly of smoke. We could in fact see the bay, though the view was obstructed by a house or too. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were clean and smelled like it. We got a discount on breakfast from the restaurant next door for staying at the hotel, and the food wasn't bad. All in all, I would recommend it for a quick night or two, if you don't mind staying in a slightly aged hotel, and I would definitely stay again if I am in town again.

We found the Bayview Inn while we were moving from So Cal to the Portland, OR area. We had no reservations and arrived in Crescent City at about 900 PM. We were tired and called around to several motel/hotels for pricing. The chain hotels were all more expensive and the various reviews at Bayview were all pretty positive- so we gave it a shot. We had a king bed on the 1st floor. Bayview was accommodating, clean, and quiet. The room was only $65 INCLUDING our pets which is great (we were here in Nov.). Bayview Inn was a great value and just what we needed. Was the bed the MOST comfortable we ever slept on? No. Did our room have a flat screen? No. Did we care? No. Bayview was clean, comfortable, roomy, affordable, and just about charming. It's no high end hotel- but we all know that going in. If we stay in Cresent City again- we would go back to Bayview Inn.

Don't do it. I have a list of issues with this hotel. Where to begin? Maybe I should have known by the marquee that ready "reasonable rates." I think the hotel sees how they run things as "reasonable." As one reviewer said, it's not four star, but then that's not what you're looking for in Crescent City. This hotel claims to be a "non-smoking facility" but the balconies are magnets for smokers. This wouldn't bother me if the room didn't already smell of cigarettes and need to be aired out, but in order to do this, I had a constant stream of smoke coming in the room. I called the office to ask if smoking was allowed on the balconies and she said "no, this is a non-smoking facility but you can smoke as long as nobody complains." There you have it. The hotels in this town have a thing for putting a jacuzzi tub in the room rather than a communal tub somewhere in the hotel. Sounds like a good thing to try out, but turns out it is just weird and creepy. The carpet in the room is moist from the last people to use the tub, which is never something you want to imagine when you're staying in a hotel room. The tub was scuzzy, had to clean a ring of scum from the tub after filling it and getting in which made it just feel dirty. The tub is HUGE, fits four people and is likely a place to have a weird hotel room hot tub party if that's what you're into. When I was finally ready for bed, there was chocolate smeared on the blanket, (not the comferter which you never expect to be clean in a place like this) but the blanket. I could smell the remains of whoever last used the pillows (one pillow smelling distinctly of makeup and the other smelling of aftershave etc.) which just added insult to injury. I mean come on! They didn't even change the pillow cases?! Another thing to note: the thin walls made for an unwelcome sound scape of animal noises from the biker couple next door, along with gnarly visions of what was happening in their jacuzzi tub and the potential contents of the scuzz I had cleaned from the tub earlier (((shudder))) I almost hucked in my bed. My advice: 1. ask for the room to have clean linens. 2. bring your own pillows 3. ear plugs are a definite plus 4. get out as quickly as possible and go dig for razor clams or sand dollars.

Clean, comfortable, reasonably quiet room, by that I mean if someone in the vicinity takes a bath or shower, you hear it as if it's in your room. Lack of insulation most likely the culprit. The rest of the stay was peaceful. Do check the alarm to ensure the previous guest didn't set for midnight, full blast, I might add. A tad jarring. Very nice folks at check in/out. No pet fee, a first in our travels, thanks MUCH for that! Pros: felt like NEWER mattress!!!! Updated Television Large room with round dinette table (a big plus) Several dining options nearby Pet friendly rooms Large vanity counter Cons: pipes noisy in adjoining room(s) Blanket (while we didn't need it) needs to be replaced.
