Oyster Bay Inn

This place has got to be one of the best kept secrets in Washington State.
Yes, it is an older motel, but don’t let what you can see of it from Kitsap Way fool you. The rooms are MUCH nicer than the building’s exterior suggests. The customer service is exceptional, especially for this part of the world, and the FREE, HOT breakfast served EVERY morning, puts most other motels to shame. I’ve paid twice as much for much, much less.
If your travels take you to Bremerton/​Kitsap County the Oyster Bay Inn is the best place to stay.

Please do not waste your money here.
If you have children at the WYA do not bring them here.
If you like the smell of pot, this is the place for you.
There is an incidental fee of a $ 100 did not know about until I checked in.
They lost my reservation. We wanted a room with a kitchen in it because we brought food to make. Not very easy making shepherds pie, and hamburgers in a micro wave.
They charged my card twice for the room and the incidental fee.
The pet area l stepped in dog poop.
If you have kids that are in WYA do not bring them to this hotel, they may get kicked out for smelling like pot.
This place does not deserve any stars.

If you’re expecting the Hilton, don’t come here. If you’re looking for a halfway decent place to crash, it’ll do nicely.
My family and I are staying here for about a month in one of the rooms with a kitchenette, and so far it has been a pleasant stay.
Pros:
— The staff is friendly and the room is clean.
–Housekeeping comes by daily to clean if you need it, change out the towels and refill the toilet paper.
— Complementary breakfast! Every morning! When you have kids, this is great. It’s nothing fancy, but they have a good variety.
— Laundry room. If you are here for an extended stay, it’s nice to not have to haul your clothes to a laundromat. While I was here, it was $ 1.50 for the washer and $ 1 for the dryer.
Cons:
— Like most hotels I’ve been in, I don’t entirely trust the cleanliness of the room, but it’s probably just because it’s slightly outdated.
— The smells. The hallway has a faint smell of stale cigarettes. They allow pets, so you get a whiff of wet dog… or other smells ever now and then.
–The Internet. They offer free wi-​fi, but it sucks.
— The bathroom. More specifically, the shower. The temperature changes without warning and I’ve been caught off guard by both ice cold water and scalding water.
Altogether, it’s been an alright stay.

I’m not sure which utility room some of the guests stayed in and give it the bad reviews. It’s not WYNN or MGM or a 5 star hotel but it’s a lot better than some of the hotels I stayed in before. The price of 2 queen beds for $ 75 can’t be beat with fridge and microwave plus free wi-​fi, the décor was fine and the front desk staff are nice.
It’s graduation day for my daughter & our room (RM. 215) was really clean, as far as as being outdated (as a finish carpenter) the things I saw are… popcorn ceiling, old lightings, our A/​C is old but working and noisy,
Feeling like a movie star? Don’t stay here, if you do I don’t blame you… It’s your fault (for being Kim Kardashian)

Typical small town inn.
The back view of the water is AMAZING
The comp breakfast is great!
Waffles, yogurt, bagels, coffee, juice.
Usually they also have biscuits and gravy or omelettes.
The staff is super friendly
Nothing overwhelming.
Average beds and bathrooms.
Plenty of parking.

rednecks ho! thrift store décor at its finest! 1^st floor pet rooms were hilarious: reflective mailbox letters on doors for room #‘s, doors missing veneers, those evergreens that smell like pee lining the sidewalk as you enter (pee smell follows you into hallway), parking on a hill, crap wifi. check in/​out to an audience of rednecks. «contract» they have you sign in 3 places is creepy (never seen that at any other hotel). gets 2 stars for 42″ flat screen tv w/​good cable selections and comfortable bed

Oyster Bay Inn is an old established hotel. The other hotels In area are not as special, as every room in the main building has a view of the bay. We started out on the first floor, but changed to the third floor after the first night, and it was much nicer. Kitchenette, reasonably fast internet, and a friendly, accommodating staff. The hotel breakfast isn’t anything special, but it fills the bill when you need a food fix. We come to Bremerton occasionally, and will stay here again, when the need arises.

This was a surprise! The hotel is dated, however, staff were very friendly and seemed glad for the business. The room was very clean and comfortable and had an amazing view of the bay. They offer a standard hotel-​fare breakfast which was okay. The restaurant is closed and it looks like it has been for a while, but when we asked where we could go for good food, they suggested Brother Don’s, a bar and grill about a half block up the road, which had great food, friendly staff and live entertainment. Value for money was excellent! I would definitely recommend others to stay at Oyster Bay Inn and would stay there again.

I loved my two and a half-​week stay. It has a bay view and is a great place to stay

Second stay. I’m giving them 5 stars this time for a reliably good experience. Sure, they’re not the fanciest place, but it’s clean and friendly. Once you throw in the breakfast and the view, it’s the best value in that neck of the woods.

DO NOT STAY HERE!!! If I could give zero stars I would. The only redeeming quality about this hotel is the view (but they had nothing to do with that) We were greeted with an attitude which was the first indication that this was not going to be a welcoming experience. Our room reservation was incorrect and again the attitude regarding THEIR mistake was unbelievable thus proving again this hotel is terrible. The hall smelled of cigarette smoke, urine and mold. We stayed in a non-​smoking room but when we opened the sliding door to the balcony, smoke wafted in the room. The sheets had spots, the towels had makeup and there were Cheetos on the floor under the drapes. On top of this, it was incredibly noisy. The patron above us kept pacing back and forth very loudly all night long. Apparently this hotel had a minor upgrade; I cannot stress the word minor enough. I would hate to see what this place looked like before… so disgusting.

By no means is this a review of an amazing hotel, but I am writing this to give an updated review of the hotel condition and accommodations. I stayed one night with my wife and two young daughters. Staff seemed courteous and willing to assist, even if they have a penchant for notices printed on sheet paper poster on about every flat surface in public areas. The hotel is currently undergoing a minor facelift, with new carpeting being installed throughout, as well as other updates.
Our room was a kitchen suite with a queen bed and a hideaway couch. Not quite home, but it served its purpose. I recommend the hideaway couches be reserved for kids, definitely not the best night’s sleep I’ve had.
The room came with breakfast that is a far cry from «continental»… Really good muffins, biscuits & gravy, omelets (precooked), waffles, yogurt, fruit, etc.
Again, this is not the most amazing hotel, but for the cost ($ 65 after tax) with what would have been a $ 30 breakfast for four at the restaurant down the street, it was a screaming deal.
Also, the view from the restaurant is pretty amazing, although at this point it is only used for breakfast service as the bar/​restaurant is closed.

THIS HOTEL WAS AWFUL!!!
Left with what I can only assume is bedbugs. And when I tried to take the continental breakfast to my diabetic sister back in the room the front desk stopped me and wanted to charge $ 5.00 for taking food out the front door. Our car was also sideswiped in their parking lot. They certainly weren’t at fault, but no apologies or offer of a free night — heck, even a paid dinner would have gone a long way. So now we’re considering bringing charges against the hotel since it was the brother of the gal working the front desk. The car was hit so bad it had to be towed. Take my advice and find another hotel…

Dirty, old and in a sketchy part of town. Definitely not family friendly.

So upon entering this place it wreaked so badly of cigarettes horribly and I almost gagged, the smoke is in the super old thin carpet and the staff don’t say hi or greet anyone from what I saw and when entering they just sit there on there phone ignoring guests and saying hold on while they talk to there friends, they dont dress professional and just wearing plain clothes, there are druggy weird looking people hanging around the workers as there friends, Everyone of the employees either has hot pink or purple died hair just looks so unprofessional for the location. There are no screens on any of the windows, the manager says oh yeah during the 4^th people jump in and out the windows for fun.haha.I was like are you serious the manager is so stupid no wonder this place is going to go down hill. Old furniture allover the grounds. My bedroom window wasn’t even locked or had a piece of wood in the window and I was so frig-​gen mad I slept in there with a child and it wasn’t even safe. This says restaurant it is not a restaurant.
I know they said they updated but so many things are wrong still. like old shabby drapes that are holding the wreaking cigarettes and carpet that looks like a casino lounge. No blinds on windows and the one window that did have them on were so dingy brown from cigarettes and old fixture pieces left behind that make no sense and that have no use just being on the walls. some rooms have nice fixtures others don’t. Another problem they advertise the laundry room yeah you have to go from your bldg to another to use because they have like 10 storage rooms in the main bldg but cant take the time to put a washer dryer in the main bldg. just annoying.
The nice things are the breakfast, flat screen tvs, very comfortable beds w plenty pillows, new re-​frig, microwave, coffee maker and nice desk. Big rooms and very spacious and big bathroom with extra vanity area.
They defiently don’t see the gem they have in this place it is right on the lake and could be a very nice joint for people to really enjoy, beautiful view but the hideous drapes are obstructing the view and they smell.uhhh.

I haven’t eaten here but if you’re looking for a place to get cheap drinks with an excellent view, this is the place.
One thing that has always bothered me about Bremerton is that the city does not capitalize on it’s awesome views. It’s a beautiful city but it’s hard to see it from the shadowy streets. The view from the Oyster bar is gorgeous. You don’t even feel like you’re in Bremerton.
I overheard someone saying the Inn is for sale, I guess it’s not doing too well, but the drinks were great and the happy hour is decent!
Go for it!

What the hell was I thinking? Comfort Inn was so close!

Not impressed. We were looking for seafood. What they advertised on their menu in the Yellow Pages (just recently published) and what they had on their menu were 2 different things. No oysters rockefeller, no clams, basically the only seafood was crab stuffed prawns and yo could get a salmon cake, too. But when I am in that area, I want oysters and clams, etc. Service was poor, she really didn’t know what she was talking about. The food wasn’t too bad all in all, the «mousse cake» was more like a sliver of silk pie. But!!! The view, serene, beautiful and that’s what made the dinner, besides good friends.

I went back for a late dinner (8:30 is late in Bremerton). The service was virtually nonexistent due to our server also doubling as the bartender in their bar. The food was good, but not great like last time. I definitely recommend ordering the potatoes rather than the «rice pilaf». I think this place has potential. The view is wonderful, the food can be very good, the service needs improving.

The restaurant view may be phenomenal, but the Inn itself is outdated. The room had a kitchen, which is nice but generally unwanted. The saggy bed and bad décor pretty much made it a non-​ideal experience. The last non-​smoking room they had had a definite smoky reek.
The free continental breakfast was poorly updated, having no coffee or plates. No coffee? ummmmm…
There were hotels that looked more skeezy in this neck of the woods, but I wouldn’t book here for a good night’s sleep.
