3 reviews for Bayside Resort Hotel
Ahhh - I was beaten to writing to the first review for the Bayside!
My friends are all "regulars" here - they hit this place up at least yearly for the summer, and sometimes for long weekends on the off season.
I love the bar on site - Moby Dick's - decorated with dollar bills that patrons have written on and thumbtacked to the walls and ceiling. The prices of the drinks are as expensive as the other bars in the area, but hey - at least the commute back to the bed is shorter!
And yes... there's kids galore at this place. And the walls are THIN. As in... starting at 7AM you'll wake up to people talking and kids running around and screaming in the halls. We had a handicapped accessible room RIGHT by the pool, so I think we heard everything that went on outside. There really is no vanity or "getting ready" area, and Kristin is right in mentioning that the lighting here is HORRIBLE. Our room just felt perpetually dark the entire time.
But, the beds were pretty comfortable, the room rates were quite affordable, the location is right on Route 28, everything was clean, and the staff were very friendly. Yes, I'll be back for a Cape Codder at the Moby Dick while scanning the ceilings for my autographed dollar bill.

This hotel has a nice beach area on the bay, but since we only stayed here for the night, we didn't use it. Personnel was friendly and the room looked OK and clean. Nothing more to add, really.
I didn't notice the thin walls as described in a previous review.
In all honestly...I teeter between 3.5 and 4 stars.
After 5 weeks of searching for the most updated hotel for a decent price range on the Cape for Labor Day...I found the Bayside Resort. It was the only reasonably priced hotel with rooms that didn't look the Brady Bunch had just checked out of.
Booking over the phone was easy and the receptionist was very informative. But upon arriving we checked in with a fairly unhappy girl.
The hotel is really on the main drag which is good because you're near a lot of stuff, like the Island Ferries, but makes pulling in and out difficult because there is always traffic.
The room, which is basically all bed, was noticeably dark (limited lighting) and ladies, there isn't much room vanity-wise for your prep work but it was clean with average décor. If you want a window worth looking out of, then definitely book the "bay view" rooms.
The hotel itself offers a lot; complimentary continental breakfast (with little kids), indoor and outdoor pool with a tiki type bar and volley ball area (with little kids). Sandy outback sitting area overlooking the marsh with a fire pit at night for smores and general mingling (this was one of the only areas not populated by children). Game room and a great pub that is actually just as expensive as any other bar in the area.
Like most Cape hotels this place is super family friendly so there were a few more little kids than I would have liked. You'll basically have to fight the kids in order to get in ANY pool time (I got none). And has a very large percentage of returning patrons but they're pretty friendly.
I'd probably look into staying here again, especially because they send great package deals from their mailing list. But being closer to the beach would be nicer.
