Review by hotel critic
As a seasoned luxury travel blogger hailing from the beautiful city of Brussels, I was intrigued to experience the balance between cost and opulence at Bay City Motel. The location was indeed superb, with easy access to restaurants, the waterfront, and shopping hotspots. The room, while comfortable, fell short of the expectations set by the 'superior' title, lacking certain amenities like a dining table and ample towels. Despite these shortcomings, the cleanliness and the attractive decor, particularly in the renovated bathroom, were noteworthy. The shower's user-friendly design was a standout feature. Additional touches like complimentary toiletries, an electric kettle, and a flat-screen TV added a touch of convenience. However, the absence of certain luxuries like room service or electric blankets may leave some luxury-seeking guests desiring more. Bay City Motel offers a clean, comfortable stay with some luxury elements, but perhaps falls slightly short in terms of providing true value for the money.
