Peter, Des Moines

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
This is a one -story building 2 blocks from the water, so the ocean view is a complete lie. But the room was immaculately clean, and it's walking distance to a grocery store, restaurants, a coffee shop, and a bar or two. Quiet neighborhood as well. Very small place without many amenities, and bed made a lot of noise.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The Bay Inn is my "go to" choice when coming to Norfolk to visit family. Especially in the off season when the motel is a particularly good value, and the laid back beach vibe of Ocean View very inviting. The managers of the Bay Inn live on site, and maintain the property impeccably. Rooms are well set up with what I consider key amenities (mini fridge, microwave, desk for laptop use, roomy shower with good pressure) and devoid of clutter. Always spotlessly clean. Always quiet.
