Awesome location! Beautiful views of sunset. Rooms are comfortable and quiet.
This was such a lovely place to stay. It was beautiful, clean, quiet and the location was perfect. There were lots of places to eat within walking distance too. The staff is exceptional! They truly made my stay wonderful. I would recommend a staying here. It's well worth the cost.
I had an amazing stay at Backside Bay Inn! I booked a balcony room and was blown away by the gorgeous view of the Bay—especially for the great rate I got. The room was spotless, and the entire property was beautiful to walk around. I genuinely wish I could’ve stayed longer.
Big shoutout to the manager, Dan the Man. I arrived late at night, and he made the after-hours check-in completely seamless. The instructions were clear and easy to follow, which made a huge difference after a long day of travel.
I definitely plan to stay here again in the future!
Great property on the water with nice grounds and sitting areas. Staff was friendly and helpful. Couple great breakfast options snd saw a restaurant and bar with live music within a block of the hotel. Fantastic walking trail about 5 minutes away too. Would definitely return.

Slept well but shared parking with restaurant
The property photos, all show the upgraded images. Our room was in a non upgraded room with tiny old bathroom and no counter space for toiletries in a small strip of rooms attached to a Thai restaurant where they started equipment before 8am. The property has beautiful grounds but we wish they had put us back away from the noisy neighbors. Could use a new bed.
The staff was very friendly, able to start the check in process since we were early and allowed us access to the grounds before the room was ready for us. The room was very clean and comfortable, the garden was beautiful, and overall was one of the best stays.
The fan in our bathroom started acting up and the response was almost immediate to get it fixed. If we come back to the area, we plan to stay here again. Thank you Back Bay Inn!
Great view of the bay from the room. Room was just the right size. Kruge in the room. Coffee shop on site for breakfast. Several smaller restaurants in the area and a small liquor store for odds and ends. Calm and quiet area. Parking not that great.
We had such a wonderful time at Back Bay Inn! The bungalow was cozy, private, and perfect for a relaxing getaway. We loved how dog-friendly the property was, it made the trip so much easier and more enjoyable. Buffy our dachshund loved it. Check-in was a breeze, and everything felt smooth and stress-free from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a peaceful stay with comfort and charm!
We will be back!
