The room was clean, the king size bed was comfortable, and the shower very large.
But, the guests that arrived Friday and Saturday night were loud, noisy, and inconsiderate way past midnight. On Friday morning, a woman was knocking on a nearby room at 2:30 AM, asking to be let in. A large family of kids were going up and down the hall near midnight as if it was a playground. And finally, the TV monitor was quite nice but it took both remotes (the monitor and the DISH TV) to locate channels.

Room was clean and recently remodeled. Dish TV channel selection was appreciated.

Check in process seemed extraordinarily long. First came the processing of our payment arranged through Hotels.com wrnsite. Then came a security deposit fee. Then came the identify your car license plate. I understand step 3 to a degree. I’m not clear on why many hotels don’t apply a step 2 (deposit). Perhaps I’ve been staying in the wrong parts of town.

We had the standard room which didn't have a full view of the Marina, but we had a partial view that was still very nice. Rooms and lobby area were cozy, clean and well maintained. Appreciated that there was microwave, small fridge and coffee station; also a laundry room. Additionally we really appreciated the free parking! Stayed 3 nights and enjoyed staying at this little hotel. Only complaint would be on the second day, the bedsheets were not changed and they ran out of washcloths.

Nice property near the marina. Very quiet generally although I could hear door slams late at night which could be due to lack of insulation between rooms. Very nice balcony space with a lounge chair and table which is nice if you get the room with a view of the Marina. Would stay there again if in the area!

It was frustrating. I had two main things I wanted to do: get some work done and watch the World Cup. The Wi-Fi was atrocious and I had to use my cell service, which was also pretty bad though not their fault. The TV kept needing to be logged in or would switch inputs or just stopped working. And then even though it was off, the TV turned on in the middle of the night, a bright white shining light, like a beacon for ships from Hawaii to find their way to the hotel. It made no sense. I had to unplug it to make it stop. Plus, the bathroom light was out. Just an unpleasant experience. Oh, right! Plus there were several barking dogs while I was trying to sleep at night. That was infuriating!

I enjoyed the location and the hotel itself very much. My issue was VERY loud neighbors both nights I stayed, particularly the first night. The rooms are lovely but if you have loud neighbors, you will hear everything. And I mean everything. I think this could be easily addressed by letting people know expectations of quiet after 10pm and before 6am and having a way to easily address if someone is being disruptive.

The lady at check-in was very nice getting to our room. It smelled like pee in the hallway and cigarette smoke. The Wi-Fi didn’t work. The TV didn’t work. The blow dryer didn’t work all the plugs in the bathroom didn’t work. One of the beds was so squeaky and loud that it was hard to have a good nights rest.

It has a beautiful setting right next to the harbor. The property was well-maintained and very clean, though shops are a 30-minute walk away. However, grocery delivery (Walmart) was exceptionally fast. The connecting room door was very thin with a 1/2 inch gap at the bottom; you can hear everything in the next room, which impacts privacy. The 1970s-style lamps and slow, integrated headboard chargers need modern USB/USB-C upgrades. For some odd reason, when I was connected to their WiFi, neither my phone or my laptop could get a signal. Once I disconnect from the WiFi, everything worked just fine. I did mention that to the front desk clerk, but he said his electronics were working okay, so I let it go. The headboard was unanchored and rocked against the wall, requiring a DIY fix with pillows. This hotel is a decent budget-friendly option for the price, just be prepared to deal with a few trivial inconveniences and minor annoyances. 4/24/2026

My earrings were stolen while we were out of the room. I placed my earrings in a sock and placed sock in my luggage I went back to the property a week later and the manager asked me to wait while he reviewed security tape. After reviewing the tape, he returned to the lobby and told me the reel didn’t go back a week so he had nothing to report. Before accusing the property of thievery, I checked my luggage and clothing thoroughly several times to confirm the sock wasn’t tucked somewhere. I never found my earrings so I’m 100% certain they were stolen. Be careful if you stay here.

I stayed at this beautiful hotel (in Room 210 for 4 nights) at the marina from February 23 to February 27. The customer service from the front desk team, management team and the hotel maintenance team was truly outstanding, impressive and first-rate. The housekeeping team did an excellent job with cleaning my room very well on a daily basis and an amazing job with cleaning all the guest common areas. The hotel lobby is very welcoming and very clean. The views of the marina from my hotel room were absolutely beautiful. This hotel is close to several AMAZING restaurants and there are plenty of parking spots available for guests. This hotel is next to a beautiful park with a gorgeous walking trail. I highly recommend this fabulous hotel to anyone looking for a clean, comfortable and very well maintained hotel in a safe area of Alameda with very friendly customer service. I am looking forward to staying at this hotel during my next visit to Alameda. Thank you so much for the outstanding customer service and for providing such a comfortable stay at this top notch hotel at the marina in Alameda.

The staff are very rude. This hotel has transitioned from a homeless shelter in last year or two. Google “Marina Village Inn and homeless”. They still attract a houseless clientele. Very loud people in rooms. Someone was smoking in the room below me and the staff didn’t even apologize. They acted annoyed that I asked them to do something about it. One staff member came into to fix my tv at 7am and proceeded to angrily slam the hotel room door when he left, which undoubtedly woke guests on the floor I was staying on. The staff doesn’t take complaints seriously. They are marketing this as an “Alameda Tourist” type hotel, when it’s more of a low income housing transitional type of motel. The rooms are very old, I had a cracked sink drain stopper, shower had a rusted metal drain. It’s good for a lower end economy stay, but not much else.

No hairdryer in room, cabinets and shower shelving ripped out of the walls, lack of body wash and hand soap. When we returned to the room in the evening after leaving, there was a spider on the bed.
