Bayfront Inn 5th Avenue

Reasonably sized room, clean and well maintained. Comfortable bed with plenty of pillows. Nice bathroom and a cozy bathrobe provided. Ironing board and iron in room, plenty of electrical outlets for charging electronics. Nice outdoor terrace overlooking the marina and within walking distance of Tin City (right across the road) and 5th Avenue shopping. Good onsite parking. Attentive housekeeping staff.

The hotel is a little dated, but clean enough. Apparently, they are planning a design upgrade later this year. My room was unfortunately on the street side which made it very noisy and there was only one small window, making it very dark. I appreciated the Keurig coffee maker in the room, but it seems to have been rinsed with bleach so everything came out tasting like swimming pool water..... yuck. Reception staff was not terribly friendly or accommodating - I asked about a room away from the road and a queen-size bed, and requested a later check-out. All requests were met with a shrug and "sorry I can't help you" (and "I just work here - you have to ask the daytime staff" from the night manager!) with no attempts made to help or accommodate or offer something else in return. All of them also seemed too busy to say good morning or wish us a nice day - not very Floridian!
