We have stayed here a few times when we have early flights out of Oakland. It’s a fine place for that purpose. But this time I noticed there were very few (any?) plugs to charge electronics and the TV didn’t work. The front desk sent someone to fix the TV but he was busy and couldn’t come til we were about ready to call it a day. Still very affordable although they did start charging $18 for parking. All in all, OK

Mari from the front desk was very welcoming and helpful when I lost my room key. I loved the view of the marina I had from my room with the balcony. Breakfast is simple but they do a good job keeping everything stocked. 5 oclock cookies are a sweet touch. They also have a small assortment of snacks and other items you can purchase with the front desk which is very convenient. I wish the jets in the hot tub were working during my stay. Otherwise I will definitely stay here again if Im in the area.

Older but well kept hotel very close to a harbor. Joggers and couples walking their dogs give sense of comfort and calm. Very close to a golf course and a nice steak and seafood restaurant literally in the next parking lot. Very peaceful setting and friendly staff.

The staff was very friendly and wonderful. The rooms and common areas very clean. Did not inform me before I upgraded that the hot tub did not work. Was not aware airport shuttle only included the Oakland airport. Handicap accessible rooms only came in single bed. The general area is good during day but unsafe after dark. Many unhoysed in the area.

Mom and 2 daughters visiting San Fran for Spring Break. Price was great for this property. I read reviews before booking and saw some of the same things. The walls are thin. Baby next door woke us up early due to crying. Breakfast didnt have many options to choose from. No biscuits and gravy or saugage/bacon which is what my kids were looking for. Unexpected was that the hot tub jets didn't work. So it was a hot bath. But for the price and safety of the area I thought it was a good option for a traveling family. Staff were great. Would book again when visiting San Fransisco.

I'm originally from San Leandro and remembered when the Marina Inn was built, but I was not old enough to stay as I was a teenager. I moved out of state when I was in my 20's. I visited home recently, February 2024. My plane back to home to Atlanta was delayed, and had to acquire lodging for an extra night to catch an a.m. flight the next day and I chose to stay at the Marina Inn.I am now in my mid 50's and was excited to stay here. Well, my stay was awful. This is a non smoking faciltiy so apparently you have to go outside to smoke. My room was on the bottom level and close to an exit door. ALL NIGHT long groups of peple kept going in and out the door to smoke or whatever. They were loud
