“Happy Bay presents a mixed bag; while some rooms are updated and comfortable, reports of disrepair and inconsistent service raise concerns. Its pet-friendly policy and the owner's demonstrated willingness to assist guests are bright spots. However, potential guests should weigh these positives against reports of maintenance and staffing issues.”
