We really enjoyed our stay at Bay Shores. The staff were friendly and helpful, the beach was a block away, the bed and pillows were comfortable and restaurants were close by. We walked everywhere or grabbed an uber if needed, great vacation.

The entire staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism, exhibiting a high degree of friendliness, helpfulness, and kindness, qualities that are increasingly uncommon in contemporary service environments. The establishment's proximity to numerous dining options is a notable advantage. We particularly appreciated the enjoyable atmosphere, available entertainment, and the commendable tranquility experienced during the evening hours. Overall, the experience was truly exceptional. My spouse and I anticipate a return visit.

Amazing location, literally steps to the beach. The staff is very welcoming, friendly, and attentive. The rooms are superb, parisian beach vibes, especially the bathroom. The bed is very spacious and comfortable. The windows are semi operable, so you can let the wonderful and natural California weather in. Exquisite panaromic views from the outdoor rooftop areas. Counting the days to our next visit at Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel!

Fabulous stay. Love the room, comfy nice bedding, and big bathroom with turkish towels. All the staff was wonderful. Shoutout to the tall blonde valet guy. He was great. I reserved a bike and tried to ride it but Im too short. But he took photos of me in front of the hotel with the bike and he was so sweet. The location was excellent. Right on the bay and within steps to the beach. I love all the little extras. A cooler, tote bag, frisbee, beach towels, umbrellas, and rental bikes all included. I will stay here anytime Im back in town.

Loved our stay at Bay Shores Peninsula Hotel. Such a lovely property in an idyllic location, steps from the beach and many restaurants. Rooms are renovated and have so many wonderful touches from the terry cloth robes to the beach bags with frizbees and towels. We borrowed an umbrella and chairs to take for our beach day too. They also had cute bikes you could borrow as well! Would definitely stay again!
