Marina Inn

Not recommend to family travelers.

The staff was very friendly and the room was simple but comfortable!

Manager was nice

1) Room called "standard king" was listed as having a twin bed. It had a queen size bed 2) nice price 3) okay location 4) free parking 1) shower too small 2) bed was more like a boxspring than mattress 3) when they said no soap provided, I thought no shower/lotion/conditioner. There was no hand soap or anything in the room 4) toilet ran all night due to clapper not seating fully - leaking constantly (noisy). 5) no AC in a hot room

My daughter and I really enjoyed the staying. Room very clean and comfortable. Will be staying there next time again.

Room was fine and clean, but there's a smell initially. The biggest surprise was that it didn't have A/C, kind of weird for me. The stay included parking. That made it good value.

Passable

Rug seemed sticky. Many surfaces in the room were dirty or greasy.

I like the area and how easy it is to get to the hotel. There's plenty of local eateries and liquor vendors close by. Above all the area is nice and quiet. The room was clean, nice shower, cable TV, cooling tower fan & mini fridge. It's my favorite place to stay when I visit Berkeley. The room can get stuffy with the windows closed during warm weather. I wish there was a sports drink/ bottled water vending machine in the hotel lobby.

Conveniently located. An older motel but well up kept. Staff is friendly and free parking is a plus.

Good

I give the Marina Inn 4stars only because its budget friendly- not luxury-lodging. We stay there often. Its clean, quiet, predictable and convenient. The beds and showers have always been perfect. The grounds are simple and always clean. It's on site family owned and operated. Very accommodating staff.

Staff was great, the rooms were comfortable and clean. Great value for the area. We stay there when visiting son at Berkeley. Nothing

Zero The lack of transparency when it comes to payment. My reservation was confirmed from Booking.com OK this is the second time I’ve had a problem with them. I get there and they say they do not take visa a bank card that has a visa debit. They don’t take that they only take credit cards. I did not see that anywhere on their site and that’s the second time that I have been displaced in the middle of the night, I am a widow, newly widowed woman. I am in between places living. I’m basically homeless and living in hotels so at this time I was left stranded the second time a 66 year-old woman homeless by the same woman and I think it’s awful and they need to take care of that. I’m gonna yelp them to death.

No A/C. I overlooked this as I haven't stayed at a hotel that didn't have A/C in decades. And the Bay Area keeps heating up year after year.

Budget motel but clean quiet safe convenient. We've stayed there several times and will again.

It was very clean. Everything. The sheets and pillowcases were clean and crisp; the bathroom clean. That was important to me. They really make an effort. Well, the room faces west and you get the sun and it would get really really warm in there. They do have a fan, which helps, but I opened the door when I came back for like 15 minutes. Could have air conditioning.

Nothing Everything

A bit tricky to reach front desk Not enough sound insulated

The bathroom was very clean, shower was easy to use with good water pressure and quick hot water.
