The owners are interesting (in a good way) and helpful.
Rooms are simple but clean. The location is great. The motel units each have a back porch which is ideal for a glass of wine overlooking the bay and the sailboats. Napoleon, the resident rooster may even come for a visit bringing his harem with him.
I would think a young family would be happy here.
We had read the negative posts about Bay Breeze, but everywhere else in the Hfx. vicinity was either booked solid or required 3 night stay minimum. We had 2 little girls who were expecting an ocean site for an overnite and decided to at least see it. What a pleasant surprise ! #11 motel "Suite" was roomy, clean and altho' not 5-star, quite acceptable for the 4 of us. New bathtub and tub-surround ; fridge, stove, Micro and toaster.. all clean and except for 1 burner on stove, worked well. Plenty of dishes but next year when we return we will take couple more pots and pans. Coffee pot, but take own cone filters and coffee. Take hand soap, and dish soap, paper towels and if you like a fairly thick toilet tissue, take that as well. Plenty of towels and face cloths provided, extra pillows and 2 extra blankets, which were clean , as was the bedding. We always take our own pillows ; beds were fine. Floor was tiled and easy to keep swept up, and outside table and chairs were perfect on our little deck. Also café table and chairs in kitchen area. Lots of sea-birds, gorgeous bay, and 2 small but clear beaches with shells and sea glass. A firepit with free wood, but no paper to start a fire, so we used paper towels we had.You need your own charcoal if you plan to bar-b-q on one of several small above ground bar-r-q thingy's. Can't vouch for other rooms, but we were very satisfied with ours and plan to return next summer, perhaps to a cabin. Pool was perfect !Just ask for #11 and I don't think you'll be upset with anything!
We called later in the day and were thankful to get a room. The owner/manager was very nice and accommodating. Found the rooms clean and beds pretty comfy.
Only downfall was no A/C. Would stay here again.
Booked the room through an information center. There was very little to choose from as all rooms in the area were full. We were told we got the last room that was available. On arriving the office was locked and it took me 15 min. to find someone out back to check in. On entering the office there was an awful musty stench. They had my credit card info from when I booked the room and added a 2% charge for using the credit card. (who carries cash). We opened the door to our room to the smell of must and found mold in the bathroom. There was no air conditioning . The fridge was filthy and the sheets were paper thin and stained. The bed was rock hard with flat pillows and the blankets looked worn and dirty. The motel grounds were very unkept. For having the last room available there were no other cars in the lot all night. In other words we were the only ones at the motel. No wonder, We left very early in the morning as we couldn't stand the smell and heat in the room. After checking in we never saw anyone around the office again. Do not use this motel.
I was very amazed that we were the only guests, because it is a lovely place to stay. A beautiful view on the water and a sereen atmosphere. The owners were very friendly and willing to help.
Most of the rooms have a beautiful view on the bay
