Our stay at the Bayside Inn was great! The Bayside is an older style two story hotel, that has been very nicely renovated and updated. We like the vintage feeling and experience with the modern amenities. The grounds are simply beautiful and well maintained. The POOL- sparkly clean and completely updated. Parking- Easy and plentiful. Room- Very good size with view of the marina, kitchenette, and patio. Beach- Easy access across the street. The staff here keeps a watchful eye on the hotel and parking areas, so we felt very safe. Also close to John's Pass Village. I recommend the Bayside Inn and Marina and will plan my next vacation at this location.

“Unusually inconsistent”

On the positive side the room was clean and recently updated. The only negative in the room was worn sheets but that didn't bother me much. Nice for the price.

On the positive side the room was clean and recently updated. The only negative in the room was worn sheets but that didn't bother me much. Nice for the price. However, the service was weird and somewhat inhospitable. The day before I arrived I called and explained my flight was arriving early in the day and asked about an early check in. I was told if there was a room available a two hour early check in would be $50. OK, fine, I didn't think $25 an hour made sense. I then asked if I could drop my bags for a couple hours and go have lunch on the beach. I was told "no we can't be responsible for your personal belongings". I've traveled at least once a month for work for the last 17 years and I've never had any hotel/motel/resort refuse to check my bag for two hours until check in time. Check in time was 3PM and I arrived shortly after 3:00. There was no one in the office and the door was locked. Several other people showed up and we finally called the after hours number and someone came to check us in. Keep in mind that it's over 90 degrees and we waited maybe 10 minutes outside. Check out was equally perplexing. I brought my bags and the room key and the owner stopped me as I walked in and asked for the room key. I handed over the key and started to call an Uber. She then told me to wait outside rather than in the small lobby. Again, keep in mind this is St Pete in July. When I explained I just wanted to wait to be picked up and she said they were meeting with an attorney and I'd have to wait outside. I didn't feel like arguing so I stepped out and waited. I guess I understand the instinct to not discuss legal issues in front of strangers/guests but I find it nearly impossible to believe that there was nowhere on that entire property to more privately meet with your attorney. It wasn't terrible but given the bizarre behavior of the owners I wouldn't stay there again.
