Marina Inn

Friendly, helpful staff. Good location.

Immediately upon entering the hotel you are hit with a powerful smell of must, which permeates the entire building. The lobby area is furnished with worn, tattered old furniture, and the carpets are stained, dirty, and discoloured. Upon entering my room I was dismayed to find that the smell, dirty carpet and tattered furniture continue. There were also broken blinds, a broken shower door, and a sunken, lumpy mattress. The shower head was a full meter lower than it should have been, and the provided shampoo and body wash were so cheap that I had to go and buy my own. The room was in dire need of a deep clean. On day 3 I saw a mouse in the room. This, believe it or, is where things picked up. I informed the staff at the front desk who immediately gave me keys to two other rooms, so I that I could inspect them and take my pick. The first room was massive. It had an extra bed, two tower fans and a huge fridge. But it was just as gross and worn down as the room I'd been staying in. The second room (which wasn't so big) was actually... okay! It looked like it had been renovated some time in the last 10 years. It had smart laminate flooring, air-conditioning, and was all-round much cleaner. It still had the same crappy old furniture and bathroom though. Breakfast was a joke. It's in tiny, unattractive, and awkwardly silent little room on the second floor. There's white bread, a toaster, some yogurts and bananas. It is not "continental". I genuinely think they only offer this in order to tick the box on hotel websites. I had the breakfast one morning, and never again. If you're staying for one or two nights it might be tolerable. But not a day longer... And maybe ask for a room without carpet!

The location could not be better

No ac Very loud construction and road noise due to no ac and windows open. Bathroom needed constant attention to flush toilet.

Good location

The property was a little outdated and tired in places. The breakfast could’ve been a little better too.

Location was great and the area the hotel is in is clearly very safe and nicer than where we have stayed before in San Fran. Breakfast is available but basic.

Very dated with poor amenities. Things like plug sockets were hard to find and TV didn't work initially and the air con wasnt great. I felt this was overpriced. For the price paid I would expect a more modern environment or at least better air con and electrics. There is no parking, we had to park in a garage 10 mins away and get an uber.

Location

No air conditioning, breakfast poor.
