The place was beyond spotless. The front desk staff recommended of exemplary seafood restaurant and offered us a coupon for a free appetizer. Horatios was fantastic. The bedroom was clean. The bed was comfortable. The pillows were OK. We did not use the pool. We were disappointed that the hot tub was not working breakfast the next morning, although continental, was extensive with plenty of yogurt, fruit, cereals, breads, waffles, hard-boiled eggs, coffee, juice, more than enough.

Overall, a good stay with excellent customer service. I understood going in that this wasn't a 5-star hotel, and the location truly delivers — beautiful views and a fantastic setting. My one disappointment was the bathroom: the showerhead was clogged, leaving just a single stream of water instead of a proper spray. A quick fix, but worth noting. Would still recommend, especially for the location and staff.

Included Breakfast too in the morning is pretty stacked which is good :). everything was clean but they need to invest in the Pier, remove photos of peir, because it’s empty and dead, reception said it’s been empty almost 6 YEARS !!

Staff is wonderful here. The hotel itself is aging and a little musty.

Good: Staff was responsive and kind. Continental breakfast was awesome-- waffles, breads, cereals, and plenty of fresh fruit and protein options. Kids liked the heated pool.

Not-So-Good: This is one of those places that was probably really nice about 30 years ago. Now it is musty and aging with the peeling paint, stained and chipped furniture, and taped carpet that comes with that. It felt clean but dusty. Another one of those places where the pics are a little too generous. This is a fine place to stay, but don't expect a relaxing holiday. The marina is abandoned due to water level issue, and the whole area is pretty warehouse/industrial.

You have to stream from your device to their tv if you want to watch Netflix. It’s local cable only. Would I stay again? Mayyybe.

Overall very satisfied, considering the property is older and I only paid $100 for one night in the Bay Area. It was clean inside, the hallways smell clean, the staff was friendly. The breakfast included boiled eggs, yogurts, cereals, oatmeal, coffee and juices, waffles, pastries, bagels. I was a happy camper. The pool is outdoors. Surrounded by a fence with tall bushes that offered privacy. The water is not heated but it was swimmable with outside temp of mid 70s.
Our room included complementary coffee and 2 bottles of water. Check out was noon. $18 parking, shuttle to Oakland airport and my main attraction was closeness to my favorite Marina park. They have Horatio’s and a Mexican restaurant within walking distance as well. Costco is only 10 mins away

The lobby was the best looking part and misleading. The rest is dated, our blow dryer did not work and iron had built up water gunk that almost ruined my daughter’s shorts. Went for a morning walk to discover the marina is closed and no longer docks boats and just looks like a ghost town in the back. Pretty sad actually. Sure it was grand in its day along with the hotel. Must say though the breakfast was great and staff friendly. All in all, if you’re looking for a budget in the San Francisco area, it’s a fair price considering what you get across the bay in San Francisco. The on site free parking is another plus.

The room was clean. Overall, the whole building is super outdated, the parking fee price is too much for what they offer, and the “continental” breakfast they offer it’s pretty disappointing (boiled eggs that are hard to peel, nothing hot made, f.e.). I was looking forward to this place very much but disappointed tremendously.

Very disappointing experience.

I checked into my room and immediately noticed a strong unpleasant odor. The bed and mattress had a strong urine-like smell, making the room impossible to stay in.

I reported the issue to the front desk right away and requested another room. I was told the hotel was fully booked and no alternative room was available. The only solution offered was changing the bed sheets, even though the odor was clearly coming from the mattress itself.

Because the room was not habitable, I checked out shortly after checking in and did not stay overnight.

What made the situation even worse was that neither the hotel nor Expedia took responsibility. The hotel refused to provide a refund, and Expedia ultimately did not refund the reservation either. Both parties kept pointing me back to the other instead of resolving the issue.

I paid for a room that I could not use and was even charged an additional $18 parking fee despite leaving immediately.

I would not stay here again and would not recommend this property based on how this situation was handled.

This property appears to have quietly changed ownership and management over the past few years. The \"marina\" that this namesake is near is no longer a marina, it's abandoned and the rooms are gently showing their age, they charged me $18 for parking?? They also advertise a \"hot breakfast\" but have reduced the \"breakfast\" to a continental style where you could maybe make a waffle, or just have toast and one of the four or five boxes of cereal. It's just a disappointment. I feel we will have to find lodging elsewhere on our next trip.

It is in such a beautiful spot, by what once was a great marina. The marina needs to be dredged out so boats can return, but like the old areas in California, they are left in ruins by the cities and forgotten about. I will certainly return to the Marina Inn on my next visit to California
