Guests have commented on how much they enjoy the rooms, the modern design touches and the staff at the resort. However, if you're looking for a resort which you never have to leave, the Bay View Resort is not for you. Guests have complained about the lack of dining and entertainment options. Being located downtown the parking can also be an issue as you have to pay to park across the street. The parking situation adds to a backed up check in and check out process. Some guests found the speed and frequency of the elevators to be a problem as well. The resort's sixteen floors are serviced by only three elevators making waiting for them a necessity.
