The Marina Inn on San Francisco Bay

It’s a little dated but it’s near everything! I will definitely stay there again!

.

El recepcionista muy racista y no dio buena atención, las camas tenías cabello y la tina del baño también la cobija que estaba en el clóset tenía cabellos

Great staff, comfortable

The location was great, the staff was very helpful and wonderful, the room was very clean, and I loved my stay! The shuttle to and from the airport also made my trip that much easier. Thank you!

Was clean and respectful

The entire hotel needs an upgrade. The towels were dingy and rooms needed help.

Dated

Right next door to a great restaurant and ou can walk to. Friendly staff.

Such an amazing hotel to stay at if you are in the area. Such a friendly staff and great amenities with the airport shuttle and breakfast. Will definitely be returning when in the area

Awesome experience! First room was smoky but they moved us no problem. Very friendly staff and lots of breakfast options

Hotel has limitations about the shuttle to and from the airport. There is a need for people to know the time limitations before they book a room. I was expecting a shuttle to pick me up only to find out that after a certain time... there is no shuttle service. Disappointed.

The location is wonderful, with amazing views of the bay. The shuttle service to the airport worked perfectly and the driver was kind, helpful, organized, and efficient.

We had a great stay! Very clean

All good except for the electric outlets were all worn out and there is an $18 parking charge. Breakfast was OK as they have two waffle machines condition overall seemed fine.

Everything was amazing, including the breakfast!!

The view. N/A

I love the place. Very cozy and affordable.

Loved the shower stall - had an area where one could sit and just soak in the steam. Wished the sink was a bit bigger, could not spread my toiletries bag.

Teriffic place.Id stay again

Very good

The stay way good

The carpet is dirty, hotel charge $18/night for parking, which I have not seen in my life before

The staff was helpful and friendly, the breakfast was nice and the shuttle to the airport was very convenient. The dinner we had next door at the Executive SUites was very affordable and tasty.

i did not receive my $100 dollar deposit back from them

The hotel layout is odd, making the pathway to find the room a bit creepy. Many functions are not working - the pool is closed, the fitness room is not working, and the AC in my room is also not working. But the staff is friendly. The breakfast is also very basic.

Staff was AMAZING! Jennifer in particular was really helpful and polite. Shuttle service was much appreciated. Bicycles were a great idea!

It’s aged but lovingly so - I would definitely recommend and stay there again! It’s a relic that is beautifully maintained- hell yeah I would stay here again @shannonlantzer

Parking is expensive, they've charged me for parking then i realized that i can park for free outside the hotel but they refused to refund my payment for parking fees although it was after 10 minutes from my check in!!!

Wonderful stay

easy check in, clean room, plenty of onsite parking and friendly staff

Nice staff who greeted me when I walked in. Fast check in. Plenty of parking. Had breakfast and everything was fresh. Make your own waffles!

Rooms are outdated but clean.

There was no healthy options for breakfast very limited variety, mostly pastries, and sweet drinks. No plain yogurt. The other thing is the shuttle doesn’t start until 0600 AM

Clean, quiet and efficient. Excellent value.

Nice, older inn but walls are thin. Our only concern , and really nothing that the staff could do anything about, was that the hallway and our room reeked of marijuana. Very convenient to the airport

Nice, quiet hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. The staff was ok. I'm only deducting a point because the hot tub was not working and that was one of the reasons I booked this hotel. It needs some maintenance. The carpet on the stairs going up had gray tape to avoid seeing it was torn up. This hotel is on a marina that has definitely seen better days. I don't think is a working marina because we didn't see any boats but me and my son enjoyed the walk around the hotel. I honestly think they shouldn't be charging for parking lot since the place is just not gated. Overall, it was ok to stay here.

Short stay but more than satisfactory.

.

Cockroach in the coffee pot reservoir. Ran inside the unit when I opened it.

Well the rugs in our room turned our feet black, the clientele were smoking, others had the cops called on them; elevators were super creaky, parking is $18/day for an uncovered space in a lot shared with a restaurant, and the boats in the pictures have abandoned the pier. Pool area unkept and hot tub has apparently been out of service for months.

Clean

Other than that the place is Great!

Very good

The staff was helpful. The breakfast was good. The hot tub was down when we were there.

I water issue

The hotel felt quite outdated overall. There was a strong smell of marijuana throughout the first floor and common areas, which made the environment unpleasant. The furniture inside the room looked old and worn, and there was also a noticeable amount of dust. Unfortunately, cleanliness and maintenance did not meet expectations, and the overall experience was disappointing.

Best place to stay on the Bay.

Todo perfecto

I had a great room overlooking the San Francisco harbor. The breakfast options provided by the hotel were great. The free shuttle within 3 miles and to the Oakland Airport were a nice addition. The bus stop is close by and the BART station is a free shuttle away.

Large room, very quiet. Breakfast available from 5am.

Very good

Reasonable value given that it was a holiday weekend. Biggest complaint was cleanliness. Sheets on the bed felt worn. Th

Reasonable value given that it...

Good stay. Quiet, clean, and easy access. Good prices that includes breakfast. Definitely would stay again.

Loved location close to shore view, breakfast was good

I already recommended this to a friends

I already recommended this to...

My room had a strong smoke smell I asked the front desk if it was a nonsmoking room they said yes it was and if they could give us other room i was willing to pay the difference in price for a upgrade they said they couldn’t move us to other room because they were booked. We went to buy all kind of stuff to make it smell better and we air the room all the time it wasn’t pleasant. Also the jacuzzi it wasn’t working and the pool was no well maintained there were ducks swimming in it and duck poop at the bottom.

Superb

The breakfast was excellent, and parking felt safe!

Very nice overall

Everything eas excellent

- The bed was comfortable - breakfast was included - security for the parking lot - location Cons - Front desk lady when we entered did not greet or acknowledge at all until we initiated - found 2 cockroaches in the drawer with the microwave

Good location, quiet area, clean and comfortable rooms, reasonably priced. Good place to stay when in Oakland/Berkley area

Exceptional

Hidden gem, I stay here often. Staff A+++.

The only thing that I didn’t like is the hot water was just lukewarm when I took the shower even after letting the water run for a while.

The comfort and the staff Paying for parking

Room was clean, breakfast was good.

Paying for parking

Everywhere around it was rundown and abandoned looking. Not lile the pictures at all

👍

Much better breakfast options than I anticipated, wifi wasn't particularly good, but staff was great & I appreciate breakfast being out early. They had fruit, hard boiled eggs, & some pastries among other options (waffles, cereal)

Right next to the old marina. Peaceful Should of stayed longer

Right next to the old marina. Peaceful Should of stayed longer

Convenient close to everything within 5mindrive Charge for parking

Charge for parking

Room noisy area above me someone stomping & running hard, with rip in carpet, my other stay there two other times was very nice

Room was nice and clean. Continental breakfast was very good.. Included boiled eggs, waffles, danish, oatmeal, yogurt, cottage cheese, breads. Better than most continental breakfasts. Unfortunately we didn't have time to go to the pool. The place is a bit dated, BUT, that is not a bad thing. It gives this place some charm and identity, nut like most of the new hotels which are large boxes.

Everything went smoothly from having the Airport shuttle pick us up to check-in.

Amazing people working there .

Outdated. Old. Smells weird. Hidden fees. Just not great at all.

Clean rooms, close proximity to the airport, limited breakfast buffet, but great to have a free breakfast. The best part, to me, about the Marine Inn is the staff. Shuttle drivers, front desk cleaning staff….all of them kind, friendly and welcoming. I’ll be back!

Very good

Exceptional

This hotel was dated, yet clean, friendly, and functional. My son and I needed somewhere to stay before our early flight out of Oakland and this place was perfect. We liked the quiet location by the marina and the fact that we could walk next door for dinner. We slept well and being close to the airport made our travel day far less stressful with a 6am departure. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay again.

Great shoreline walk near the hotel. Great food next door at Horatios. Staff was helpful. Hotel needs updating.

Overall stay was good

The bay is under renovation

Pleasant

The price and location was excellent The bay is under renovation

Clean and quiet. Great park next door with very nice walking paths along the bay.

Problemas con el agua caliente en las tardes se dilata mucho en salir y nomás está tibia, muy inconsistente sale caliente y fría

The hotel was clean but a bit out dated. The bed was horrible like sleeping on a cardboard box. It was quiet and clean but the beds need to be replaced as my back still hurts .

Bltetf

Parking was $18/night.

Great area, close to restaurants and nice hotel. The kitchen was being renovated, the breakfast did not offer any hot food and we missed the evening cookies.

Breakfast lack protein

Perfect

It was fairly nice with nice staff, breakfast wasn't that great and didn't have many options except bagels and muffins and coffee. parking was fine

This is a solid hotel in a lovely area with lots of parks and walking along the marina. The breakfast, room, staff, amenities definitely meet expectations. This was not an overly expensive hotel, so what was provided for the price was super.

Lots of great family food spots in the area. Near a park and golf course. I enjoyed every second of my stay.

Great views, below average staff, poor customer service.

Parking was not free. Breakfast is basic

Nice staff, beautiful location, the sunrise and sunset where amazing, very close to the airport which made the whole stay feel smooth and easy

Breakfast was great and room was clean and comfortable. Parking was a little tight. Location was perfect, close to lots of restaurants. Nice walking trail along the water

Beautiful but old, jacuzzi out of service. Loved the location and staff. However, would stay there again.

Thank you! Very pleasant stay. Staff was great!!! The oatmeal at breakfast was delicious.

Spa was out of order.

Breakfast was assume.....but scaled down from our last visit.

Quiet

Parking used to be free now it's an extra 18 bucks but it really provides more security

Ok

More peanut butter cookies

It’s a hole in the wall but its manageable Pool is dirty

Stayed 4 days. The place was clean. Breakfast was okay. The area is very accessible to the bart station. Tha staff are nice. Free shuttle from and to the airport.

One drain was slow in the sink, the hot tub was out of order, and that is partly why I booked there! I have stayed there many times, this is the first time I had to call the desk about other visitors that were loud all night long! And the first time the hot tub was out of order! I never saw the security that is suppose to patrol the parking lot, that is why they charge for parking, so I was told! The power went out due to the storm, it would have been nice to have a flash light in the room, luckily I had one in my purse! Not my most fun stay, at the Marina Inn, however the occasions that brought me back to San Leandro I did enjoy! Serve yourself continental breakfast was fine. Staff was helpful! Next time I will be sure to inquire whether the hot tub is iut and running.

I liked that the room was clean and pleasant. Towels were not the highest quality, but there were plenty of them. The room was spacious, and the TV worked. The cookies (available after 5pm) were delicious. I wished the breakfast had more protein options like eggs, bacon, sausage. I also wished the parking fee was not so high. On a per-day basis that costs adds up, especially if you are travelling for leisure.

The room was very clean and the view of the bay was great.

Was surprised by the $18 a night parking fee. Otherwise the room was clean and had a nice view of the bay

Great

Room is clean being down stairs was horrible with people on top where so loud and stomping all night with loud music. It was my second time being there the 1st time was great. And the parking was expensive $18 a night I never had to pay for parking at a hotel. Staff was awesome like always.

Staff were friendly rooms were clean and we slept well for our one night stay.

Hotel was nice and clean, breakfast was good. I loved the sugar free options. Nice little gym. There weren’t any free weights but the treadmill was perfect. Nice stay for a nice price.

Great value. Clean & friendly

We, didn't eat breakfast

parking too expensive. breakfast not up to standard of comparable lodgings. wall too thin.

Room had a great view, large size, and very clean. Restaurant in the same parking lot so we could walk to eat. We walked the dock area for sunset and it was amazing

Parking too expensive

Breakfast lacking variety. Parking safe

Ok

The room was clean as was the property inside. The staff was very helpful, and their cookies (available after 5pm) were also delicious. The parking cost is $18/night, which I think I unreasonable given the amount of parking generally available near them. So I dock them 1 star.

Excellent. Be aware parking a car is very expensive

Stay was comfortable, staff was accommodating, and the free breakfast was nice to have as well. I would stay here again in the future.

Bonus for breakfast. Furnitures in room no maintenance

The front desk staff was amazing I believe the gentleman's name was Hector who checked us in.. so kind so generous with his words, and even gave us free appetizers to the restaurant next door. It was an incredible find and it was an accidental find. Our room was right on the water absolutely beautiful. Quick Uber ride to the San Francisco Airport I highly recommend this place I Left My heart in San Francisco

We stayed here for two nights and had a great experience. The location is excellent—right by the bay and conveniently close to major freeways and San Francisco. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed both the room and the breakfast. Overall, it offers great value for the price!

This is a hidden gem. I stay every time I’m in Oakland.

The breakfast was just enough to get our day started! The staff was friendly and helpful. We loved the fresh baked cookies in the evening.

Nice staff and breakfast

Very nice breakfast options!

The room was fine. It just wasn’t what I expected.

Well I was really disappointed to find out after getting there despite my pictures online showing I would get a balcony to find out it’s a $50 upgrade. The hot tub is currently broken and the pool wasn’t properly cleaned when we got there it was a bit dirty

My bathroom had a bit of a musty smell. Limited dinner options on site.

Good

Room looked out over the marina. The sunset was beautiful! Convenient to airport.

Hot tub was out of order. Room was clean, nice, small patio looking out to the marina. No boats in the slips, but nice nonetheless. Great sunrise and sunsets. Breakfast was decent. They had make your own waffles (2 machines), bagels, breakfast pastries, yogurt, oj, cranberry juice, milk, chocolate milk, cereal, oatmeal, fresh fruit, fruit cups, Toast, butter, jam, hard boiled eggs.

The best part of the stay was the friendly staff. The breakfast is standard for a motel. The rooms are dirty and the pillows are incredibly lumpy and firm. Bring your own pillow if you plan on staying here.

The hot tub was not working during our stay. There was a sign on th door that looks like it’s been there a while saying that the hot tub was out of service. But they do have a heated pool and we went swimming at night and the pool was nice. The rooms were clean and a great size and the air conditioning worked excellent. The place was nice and quiet at all hours of the day. The staff was all extremely nice and helpful and made sure that we had the accommodations we needed for wheelchair access. The outside property is a bit dated and could use some work but that is the only thing I saw wrong with the place. I would definitely stay there again

Jacuzzi is still not working

The area was convenient to the Oakland airport. Safe area. Breakfast selection was excellent. They do charge extra for parking

Clean room, very easy check in and check out. Waffles at breakfast were good. The marina park down the street is nice.

Yes excellent!

The room is very outdated and walls are paper thin but the hotel staff were helpful and kind. The first room I was assigned had extremely loud neighbors and they were able to move me to another room. Waking up to the Marina views was very beautiful but being right in flight path made sleeping very hard since the room and windows rattled every hour or so.

Hot tub was out of order. Breakfast was good but needed some kind of meat.

No it wasn’t very much choices and everyone was rude, my son dropped a syrup it was closed up but was unable to grab it right away his hands was full I just about to set down my coffee and pick it up when the staff worker picked it up and said something foul in Spanish I understood what she said I speak Spanish.

Room was very fitting for me and my family with a nice view of the marina and the continental breakfast was actually pretty decent. The staff was very helpful and my only reason for not giving this place 5 stars was due to the lack of WiFi/phone reception on the premises and the hot tub being down. We specifically booked this place with hopes of relaxing in the hot tub so that was quite disappointing to find out it was down after check in.

Very pleased that the full breakfast including waffles, eggs and toast is back. Nice and quiet location right on the Bay and close to walking trail.

Fine

Parking was $18.

The location was great, room was very clean There were not many outlets that were available, there was one extention cord outlet attached to the desk which was across from the bed.

This hotel was comfortable, clean, offered a beautiful view of the marina, free “bike” usage, a typical continental breakfast (although a longer breakfast time than most hotels we have stayed at, and kind, polite staff. The only “downside” was the hot tub was not in service and the weight room had no weights (we were told they had been stolen). The hot tub was a regrettable experience however, everything else was enjoyable. We would return again should we decide to visit the area and stay overnight.

The staff was excelent with us and good food.

Friendly staff.

Great, very affordable. Includes free breakfast and the airport shuttle. Great service for the price

The room itself had a musty smell, and the water never got properly hot during our stay, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the room was cleaned, and the breakfast was okay. Overall, there were some basic comfort and service issues that made the stay less enjoyable than expected.

Nice large hotel easy to find your way around

The setting was great! The vibes are on point! The main parts of the room were nice! I think the wifi was a bit of an issue. Other than that was good.

Away from the heart of the city. Lots of places to walk. Smell outside was like sweet garbage. Is that the Bay?? Surprise $18 fee for parking.

great staff

Yes

Room was average, bed hard to sleep well on..not super comfortable. Bfast was meh, shuttle was easy, overall easy and well priced

it's awesome that the property is overlooking the bay

I had a great stay at the Marina Inn. It was a quick 4 min. walk to the bus stop, and I was able to make it to San Francisco daily. My room was clean, and the staff members were friendly. They come through and replaced towels and wash cloths daily. A member of the cleaning crew recommended Horatio’s, a restaurant that is about a 3 minute walk away. The food was great and I like how nearby it was.

The hot tub is out of service

Was not told upon check in that t

Stayed here before an early flight out of OAK. The staff here were really professional and hospitable. Kudos to whomever is training & managing them. Loved the relaxing waterfront location - plenty of walking trails nearby. The building itself was a little dated, but still cute and comfortable. Im afraid the pillows were horrid: really hard and uncomfortable. Heat/air conditioning worked well. Free airport shuttle is nice (but it doesn't start until 6 am and we had to be at the airport at 5 am). I’d stay here again (and bring my own pillow).

Make sure you catch the $18 parking fee on their website but not listed on the Orbitz website. Also keep in mind airport shuttle does not start until 9 AM on the weekends 6 AM during the weekdays so please plan your day accordingly.

Exceptional staff. We stayed 1 night and took hotel shuttle to and from airport. Area is a little run down. Hotel could use a refresh but was clean. Breakfast was nice.

Great place to stay!

Location Price and entertainment

Hotel canceled my reservation without any prior notification due to a rate error. On their part no accommodation no consideration just arrived and reservation is canceled..

Clean & friendly

Clean and easy check in

Clean room, staff and breakfast I’ll be back soon!

It was ok, i didnt like the fact that i had to pay for parking and my heater wasn't working. I felt like the guy checking me in had me in a upstairs room at first then seen i was a black dude and move me to a room he knew wasnt as good. Just my opinion

Clean room, updated property furnishings, courteous and helpful staff, good continental breakfast

Only negative $18.00 extra charge for parking a grab considering all other parking restrictions overnight parking

Clean, quiet hotel. Friendly staff. Excellent breakfast options.

Spa not being open which I also seen other posts that they haven’t fixed their spa for multiple months.

Everything was great, but got charged for parking. Wasn't noted up front.

Nice room

Yes to both

Comfortable

breakfast used to be better and the wifi kept going in and out but it was stormy.

my husband and i's second year in a row staying at the marina inn and we loved it yet again! staff upfront was friendly as usual and we enjoyed coming down every morning for the breakfast! we will continue to stay here every time we come up for our san francisco vacations

Oatmeal, boiled egg, coffee, grapefruit There was no meat. Never seen that before

Old and outdated

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was nice and clean. We will be back 😊

Didn’t stay due to power outages but the two ladies at the front desk were very nice to help out with other accommodations.

Room

Great place

Nice clean

Great place to relax and unwind with family and friends

It was great I love it

This is an old-fashioned hotel, unpretentious and comfortable. I’d stay here again.

Beautiful room and excellent hotel management

Staff

Check in went smoothly. Staff was very courteous.

Marina has always been a favorite spot to stay when visiting Oakland area. Last several times the pool and hot tub have been closed for repair and no longer serve warm cookies in the evening.

Large room with bay view

Yes

Staff was excellent. Very friendly. Room was very clean, but also very wore out. Needs painted and updated for sure. Elevator made terrifying, mechanical sounds. Not happy i called the day before we arrived to make sure all amenties were open and useable, upon check in was told the hot tub had been down for days. Not happy as that was one of the draws for oir short stay. Breakfast was a total joke. Old bagels (no cream cheese). One waffle maker for 30 people. No other hot foods. Banana only fruit choice. No yogurt. Again, this was one of the reasons we choose the Inn.

We enjoyed our stay at the Marina Inn. Clean rooms, friendly staff, and excellent location if you’re looking to be just far enough away from the hustle & bustle. Love that they provide a complimentary shuttle to the Oakland Airport. We look forward to staying here again soon!

It was good!

Room was nice. Great view of the Marina. Planes flying in. Sea birds and ducks gave everything a serene vibe.

Good all around experience

Everything was good. The beds were comfortable which is the most important thing for me. Convenient location with a couple of restaurants within walking distance. Simple continental breakfast and free coffee in the lobby. I would definitely stay here again.

staff was amazing hotel could use a renovation but was still perfect for what we needed

I'll definitely stay here any chance I can when I'm back in Oakland.

Love it there. Very comfortable for what I need

The hotel is old, but very clean and good management.

The rooms were cleaned well. The Marina was empty but it was still a beautiful view. Staff was great. The breakfast was just enough to get us going. They did need cream cheese for the bagels but we had a great stay.

Stay was awesome! It was clean, affordable, and friendly. Will definitely stay again.

The balcony view!

Clean room and we had a great marina view! Housekeeping staff was amazing! Front desk people were very polite ! Will stay here again !

The view of the bay was excellent

There was power outage one night while I was there. Not their fault. No elevator working and going down 3 flights of stairs with luggage is not fun for 81 year old people. The $18 dollar parking fee at this motel is only place I have stayed that charges for parking. I had an issue that I wanted to speak to the manager about. Left one voice mail and waited on phone second call much too long so hung up.Hershall(management) is not responsive. Not a good sign.

It's supposed to be the Marina Inn, but the marina is empty/closed and the road to the ocean was also closed (though you can walk there). We thought it'd be a beautiful environment but it was disappointing. The hotel itself is great.

Love breakfast, my room had an excellent view. Very nice and quiet. I will definitely come back and recommend to friends and family. Thanks

Location Paying for parking now. Me and husband drive in. So we have two cars normally I been going there for years no parking. Everything is sweet now. No more waffles or eggs.

I booked the rooms because Expedia said there was free shuttle from SFO. When I called the hotel to schedule the shuttle, they said only shuttle service from Oakland and they wouldn't cancel the reservation. This cost me $260 in Uber rides. The hotel rooms were below average (worn out) and inexpensive.

Great

Hotel feels like stuck in the 70’s. Old illumination, old furniture. Hear the floor crackling when you walk. Slow wifi.

Balcony was nice :)

Great place to stay in the area

Room felt like it needed a deep cleaning

What a great little hotel! The location was perfect and the views from our balcony were beautiful. The bed was super comfortable and the shower pressure was amazing. The room was clean and had all the amenities we needed. I would definitely stay here again.

Room had a clock with inaccurate time. Could not figure out how to reset the clock with local time. Staff did not know how to reset clock. Then I wanted to pl7g in my phobe

Great price and great stay. Friendly staff

A lot of stay cats. Wake up several nights to tom cats fighting. Staff was great. Just a bit outdated. You had to pay for parking. Which I have never done but ok. That should have been included in the price of the hotel. Nice view of the old marina. We would stay there again.

Will definitely be coming back for a longer stay! Thank you all!

Room was ok, the sliding door was so hard to use, making it hard to push. Fire hazard,

Room was clean, staff was awesome, and the view from the balcony was great. Onto a quiet stay.

Clean and decent. Had a good nice sleep.

No notepad or pen. This facility has gone downhill due to the area around it. The facility needs to nickel and dime you for everything. $50 extra for a room with a view of the rundown boat docks with no boats.

Odd operation. Warnings posted at libby about prostitution on the premises.

Nice place to stay. The staff are very helpful. They were willing to open the pool for us even on a rainy December evening. The nearby restaurant, Horatio's, is an excellent dining experience - everything cooked to perfection.

Room was fantastic

False notice provided. Initially said shuttle provided for SFO but today they say no.

Hotel location was convenient for us, which was a big plus. Staff is friendly but hotel is pretty dated. Pretty good value for money but they make you pay $18 for parking in an area where there is much parking available.

Staff was very helpful

Friendly staff

Clean, cozy, great staff!

Such a warm and welcoming hotel! Last minute find, so we worried but as soon as we walked in mu husband and i were greeted by friendly staff and a beautiful holiday display! The hotel was super clean and quiet too! We will definitely be back with the kids next time since the park and water are so close by!

Staff was very courteous and helpful. Room was clean and bed was comfortable.

Staff is absolutely great , Breakfast is limited to sweet rolls and fruit cups , For what they charge ...Eggs and potatoes with toast would great if not best at minimum.

Clean comfortable rooms Breakfast included

Nice

Didn’t stay for breakfast, but it looked like a nice set up. Super close to the airport easy parking. Friendly staff junk food machines available if you wanted a snack.

Yes!

Room, Staff, amenities

Hot tob was not working, which makes the difference between nice stay and just staying at a hotel. Breakfast is pretty sad. Everything else was as expected for the price, nice views, $18 for parking is a little steep for the area. Staff was very friendly.

View from balcony was quite nice

We were here for a golf tournament at Monarch Bay, and it is so close! The front seat is so friendly and knowledgeable. We had dinner at Horatio’s and it was five stars! Would stay here again!

Beautiful view and clean quiet stay. Just what I needed for an early morning flight out of Oakland airport

One of the better hotels in San Leandro; nice location, plasant walking areas nearby, clean rooms and pleasant staff

Staff welcoming. Comfy beds … everything one needs for a night on the road!

Could have a better breakfast option. Needed to run water in the shower 20 minutes to get hot enough for a shower.

Clean room but had to run the shower for 20 minutes before it got hot enough for a shower.

Nice, convenient to airport

A fair amount of noise from the jets taking off at the oakland airport. The breakfast was mediocre. They used to have a very nice assortment, not the case any more.

Great place.

Clean room and quiet!!!

Excellent service.

Honestly for the price and proximity to San Francisco, this was great. I rented a car so for me the extra travel to the city wasn't a big deal. You do need to get up early to go into the city on the weekdays- but weekends the drive is only about 25 minutes. Very comfy and clean space.

Clean rooms and great staff

Very friendly staff and clean room

The staff was really friendly and made the stay more enjoyable.

The staff is friendly, professional and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable.

Front desk was great. Room clean. Staff helpful.

Good hotel

I was already disappointed when I found out that there was a bit of false advertising with the hotel: my search preference was for a hotel close to SFO and with an airport shuttle. The Marina Inn is NOT does nosearch hotel in close proximity to SFO

Great stay. Clean room.

The room was clean, the hotel was clean. The internet WiFi was not so good. Other than that I give them three stars…

Overall, a disappointing experience. The property is very dated and unkept. Broken glass outside, lamps not working, broken outlets, etc.

Good but old rooms and smell bad outside the hallway going to elevator. Front desk is nice and friendly. Parking no problem.

Room was fine, but the breakfast was pathetic and was surprised at the fee to park in the hotel parking lot.

This was our third stay at the Marina Inn. Staff are friendly and helpful, the property is well maintained and there are a couple of good restaurants next door. We will stay here again.

Airport shuttlevis very important to me

I did'nt stay in the hotel . It was filthy very neglected. The lobby furniture was filthy , the lobby smelled like dirty carpet just old musty . I went up to the room and smelled like a gym , smelled like feet ! I turned my keys in and stayed in a holiday inn . Im in the process of trying to get a refund . I really think the reviews are fake . The room and place look nothing like the pictures.

Good

Earliest shuttle is not at 6am.

The room was clean and I enjoyed the view of the bay.

Nice room and staff

Love this place and location. Cookies are delicious

Clean room. Friendly staff.

I stayed in a deluxe king room but it looked neglected, carpeting could be replaced and the room smelled as if it had been smoked in - even though it was advertised as a non-smoking hotel/room. Disappointed. Secondly, due to my flight getting rebooked to 5:00 pm, the hotel front desk refused a later then 12:00 noon check-out unless I agreed to pay extra. The so called breakfast could use massive improvement.

The Marina location was perfect and I felt so comfortable in the spacious room. There were restaurants close by along with a park, great walking paths, a wetland, and golfing. Superb experience.

No complaints didn’t need a airport shuttle.

They were able to accommodate the room to meet my family's needs.

Ok

Friendly staff, clean rooms, easy parking, nice views of the bay. Continental breakfast was good for what’s offered

If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, hotel stay by the water this is a great choice. When choosing to stay here, there are two things to keep in mind: Breakfast is free and there is a seating area... But it leans towards simple grab and go style. They do not serve eggs or potatoes. (They had bagels, but no cream cheese which was confusing!). The decor has an old-school 80s vibe. If you are looking for a hotel that's more modern in look and feel, skip this one. Despite these two things, the staff was friendly and we enjoyed our stay.

Clean room but no essentials like toothpaste etc

We had a delightful view of the marina and bay. The room/bed was great. Wi-fi horrible. There are some signs this property is not being kept up in a quality way. TV monitor has horrible color quality. It should be replaced. On the 3rd floor there is black tape over the carpet seams in several places. And come on… you can only spring for a “continental” breakfast?

Pleasant staff, clean and comfortable rooms. I enjoyed my stay thank you!

Very dirty rooms, saw a roach in our bathroom. Not a safe parking lot, saw some broken window glass.

We had a great stay. The room was very clean. The staff was very courteous and we felt very comfortable and safe in this location.

Staff was top notch

Courteous staff

Get rid of the plastic mattress protectors and update your bedding! The $18 parking fee just include it in your nightly rate rather than an extra fee when checking in.

Great stay. Very quiet area by the bay. Rooms were very clean. Would stay again, especially for the price point we had

Nice place love it

I love this hotel!

Excellent room

I stay here alot

Clean room.

Good customer service

Good customer service

Great for a traveler Would like a slightly lower rate

It was nice and clean. Staff was nice.

Overall i would definitely stay there again. But those things i pointed out would be my deciding factor going forward.

The Marina Inn was amazing to stay at. I went with my sister and brother to watch the Mexico vs Japan game. We didn’t have any ideas of what else to do but thankfully there was a park right next to this hotel and it was awesome. They also let you borrow the bikes which is really nice. The staff was helpful and kind. If you are taking the shuttle just let them know in advance when you need it and they’ll be happy to help. I would definitely stay here again!

Great hotel for the price even better than more expensive hotels!

i enjoyed my stay.

When we entered our non-smoking room we were hit with the smell of cigarette smoke. We asked for a different room and we got it without question. Breakfast was basically coffee, raw fruit, packaged cereal, and pre-packaged store-bought pastries; none of which seemed terribly appealing.

Great hotel

Great!

The shuttle staff and house keeping were all great

The hot tub wasn’t working. The area outside was very dirty and lots of questionable people around that made it feel unsafe.

Pleasant stay, reasonably priced, in a nice area, quiet area

unfriendly staff and management, tired old rooms and property a disappointing stay.

Parking not included in price, was charged extra.

All was good but I didn't like its $18 for parking.

of bay and Marina2 resurants in walkable distance walking path just outside with great walkaround edge of bay shuttle service Bayarea Rapid Transit close by to travel great locations around Bayarea great for travel t o major cities of interest nice staff clean rooms

Enjoyed sunset view from balcony on 2nd floor, San Francisco skyline behind the bay.

Airport shuttle service was great but couldn’t get a room with a balcony. Room was clean didn’t have a refrigerator or microwave/

Great place to stay!

It’s good

Very clean hotel on the water with great views. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

It was very nice. I wish I could have seem the docks busy.

Easy access restaurants close by great destination that's close affordable close to Bay Area Rapid Transit can go any where in Bayarea

The hotel is really nice. Our only problem was some people fighting and screaming in the hallway in the middle of the night. We were awakened twice and it was quite alarming.

Comfortable rooms and a very friendly staff!

Good

I always listing at the marina Inn when I’m in the Bay Area. It’s very convenient to Uber or Bart to any other city that I need to go to and not have to worry about driving around. The marina Inn has amazing breakfast and overall it’s a place. I will stay as long as it’s available whenever I’m in the bay.

property looked very old and dated compared to pics online. shady characters hanging around property . Marina vacant and fenced off

To noise

Airport shuttle was not available but the front desk commissioned Uber drivers during the off hours.This was a nice service. Front desk personnel was friendly. The room was clean and the cleaning staff provided amenities, e.g. Keurig coffee/tea pods.

We loved our rooms beautiful scenery, clean rooms great hospitality.

This hotel was a lovely surprise! We enjoyed our stay so much, and it was just a last minute choice before we leave from the nearby airport tomorrow.

I stayed here in the past but was disappointed this trip. The hotel is old and the hallways smell. The breakfast is pathetic and there is no place nearby to get breakfast. Charging for parking is ridiculous.

Staff was friendly and accommodating. Quiet

clean room good conditions

WiFi didn’t work well in the room

Clean room, great shower, comfortable bed. Can’t beat location. Beautiful surroundings

You cant beat the location and the views from the balcony in the evening. The sun setting and planes coming in and taking off from Oakland Airport. And Jennifer at the front desk always has a wonderful attitude and a beautiful smile to greet you in the morning.

great stay! very poor WiFi connection

Such a great place to stay! Wonderful staff!

This was one of those times when the marketing didn’t quite match the reality. Conceptually, it should have been a really good stay. The best part was definitely the bed — it was very comfortable. While the property was well kept, it really needs a remodel or makeover; it felt more outdated than rustic. The freshly baked cookies were a nice touch, though. Unfortunately, the continental breakfast was another disappointment — everything was heavy and very gluten-filled. On the bright side, the staff was kind and accommodating. Overall, it wasn’t a terrible stay, but considering the shortcomings, it didn’t feel like the best value.

Everything was clean. The staff was helpful. It was quiet and beautiful.

Beautiful area, clean room, wonderful staff, and the restaurant El Torito had the best food! We had a wonderful time. I just wish the hot tub worked, but that did not take away from the great experience.

Staff were lovely but that's about it. Old furnishings, old decor and the breakfast was just a complete joke! Wouldn't stay here again.

1) Paying $18.00 per day for parking. This is not readily mentioned on the website and took me by surprise. 2) This hotel is badly in need of an upgrade. 70's and 80's style fixtures, very small bathtub-shower combo, no usb plugs and limited outlets. 3) The wi-fi was from the early days, very slow and always getting kicked out. The hotel is in a beautiful place but those issues need to be addressed.

Check in process was great. We enjoyed our stay.

I did'nt like the daily charge for parking.

Staff is amazing, hotel is clean, and it is a lovely location.

clean room nice view

Hotels should not be charging for parking especially when your stating they are not liable for lost or damaged. Hotel carpets very outdated needs a refresh. Out side are just looks very run down not appealing to the eye

Clean.

The hotel itself is clean, the rooms are clean but very run down. The cabinetry is all scratched and worn. Doors hang off from broken hinges. But otherwise, they're not bad. The property itself is well maintained. The elevators sound like they're in need of servicing. Forcing their customers to pay $18 a day for parking, in an open parking lot with no security is just ridiculous. I've stayed a much better hotels in New Orleans that don't charge for parking. Plus its a shared parking lot with the restaurant next door so can probably just park over there and walk the extra ten yards. Reducing the breakfast down to all packaged garbage you can get at Walmart is just a blatant sign of a cheap owner. Next time I come to town I'll look at the hotels in Hayward instead.

i enjoyed my stay esp the bed very cozy

Deceiving pictures.

a little noisy.

It may be an older hotel but the staff and the stay were excellent! Jennifer at the front desk was amazing! Thank you for your excellent customer service!

Did not use but it looked really good

Parking fee is undisclosed during reservation. Breakfast is purely bread.

Price performance is unjustifiable! Have to pay for the parking as well! Totally unjustifiable!

Only disappointment was lack of options at breakfast. Area and staff were nice

Nice clean place. Felt safe compared to other areas of Oakland we’ve stayed. Staff was kind. Loved overlooking the old harbor and seeing and hearing the planes take off and land. Walls are paper thin, bring earplugs.

Did not use the gym. Room clean staff nice. Food over priced. WiFi not very good

The staff is always friendly and professional. The rooms are always clean and comfortable.

Great place! Clean and the staff are always nice, I’ve stayed here multiple times

Needs updating.

I stay here every time I visit family and have to say that Jennifer at the front desk is the best! Very friendly, accommodating, and professional! She makes the end of a long travel day feel like coming home!

The room was clean and I loved it

1. Upon arrival, not knowing beforehand, i was required to pay an $18 per night parking fee. 2. A guest brought their adult pitt bull and wallked it through the hallways. I had most of my children with me. I complained and they said they only allow service dogs and they were unaware of this. Other than that the hotel was fine

Great place, friendly staff. Only complaint I have is the beds were hard and uncomfortable..the pillows felt like they had been used too many times.

Hallway carpets smells

Great value, convenient location, & the staff was very nice.

Wi-Fi was slow and failed frequently. Need to upgrade.

Nice staff. Quiet. Helpful

The rooms are dated but clean. The front of the place is updated but they haven’t updated the rooms. We used it for a quick night before a flight out of Oakland. Very convenient to our park and fly. Breakfast was very disappointing. .

I’m a travel nurse and needed a place to stay. I work Nocturnal shift so it was difficult to check in. It’s was ok the bedding was thin but comfortable.

Stay somewhere else.

It felt weird being there

Shuttle to the BART transit was incredible, able to very easily go to the heart of San Fransico without the hassle of parking. Cleanest hotel I have ever stayed at. Staff was wonderful, helpful and welcoming. Nice area to take an evening walk. Stayed 4 nights and it was a great start to our vacation. Shuttle from airport came very quickly too, at their hotel within 30 minutes of landing. Cannot speak high enough of this hotel.

The hallway smelled like pee and was dark. The breakfast provided was disgusting. Outside people partying all night. Guest in room loud and partying. Front desk was no help. Very disappointing. Don’t believe the photos or other reviews.

Nice hotel, very clean, friendly staff

The staff at the hotel was friendly and professional. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but it is clean. It was also quiet so you should sleep soundly.

What a great little gem for the Bay!

The marina itself has seen better days - it, and the pathway to the nearby El Torito restaurant were either under construction or in disrepair or a little of both. I braved them for beautiful photos of the bay and delicious Mexican food respectively. i didn’t try Horatio’s, but the lady gave me a coupon for a free appetiser at hotel check-in. This might sound mostly negative but it’s not - The Marina Inn is incredibly convenient for early flights out of Oakland, and I cannot emphasise how lovely their staff were, as warm as the California sun. For the price I paid, I am very happy!

No me parece que cobren estacionamiento por noche, cuando los estacionamientos son abiertos a la calle y no hay seguridad de que no ocurra algún evento. Creo que debieran ser sin cobro

I never thought 🤔 that the hotel is so clean because the price was so affordable.

Beautiful property on the water, with a thoughtful and caring staff!

The planes flying overhead all night 2am 3am 4am—kept me awake 😖

I usually have a pleasant stay. I chose a balcony room. Excited for sunsets for September. Shower was not hot for my stay. No fresh waffles. I use to enjoy the fresh breakfast and cookies . I didnt even have boiled eggs or proper fruit and yogurt..I had nothing that appetized me.hoping for a comped night. Improvements should be made to the breakfast options and shower accomodations

The room was clean but needed modernization. I had trouble with the TV and it 2 vists to the room to fix. The breakfast needed more then presented. The closet or wardrobe and suitcase rack was in the bathroom. But the the elevator going up and down all night kept me up all night.

We had a nice stay, enjoyed the room and marina view. Continental breakfast was ok.

There's. not much out there but it's quiet and I had nice run along the water and there's two nice resturants you can walk to. It's a short uber to both the BART and airport. The property is dated but it's comfortable and clean and has all the amenities you'd expect. Very friendly staff and it's nice they have free shuttle to airport & breakfast. Great if you have a flight out of Oakland.

Hotel right on San Francisco Bay. You need a car. They will shuttle you to nearby Oakland airport. BART is a 10 minute Lyft ride away.

Parking is 18 bucks per night. That's very expensive. In downtown, another hotels charged 5 bucks. I could hear what my upstairs neighbor was doing the entire time I was in the room.

This property needs major renovations. It still looks like it's in the 70's. Hallways were dark and seemed musty. Breakfast was terrible, all carbs and nothing fresh except fruit. Charged for parking when there was absolutely no reason for the charges other than "The owner decided to charge for parking", according to the front desk. Don't waste your money by staying here.

The over all cleanliness of the property was okay. There were areas of the property that needed proper cleaning. The pool was okay given there are spider webs, weeds and dead plants around and the hedges block the view of the marina which is the reason I booked. I didn't plan to stay the entire night just went to enjoy the pool and views on a hot day in the bay.

Is good I will stay next time

Airport Shuttle required a little longer wait than I would have preferred.

There was no driver at the time Instead of the front desk / check in lady having a side conversation with someone working..... She should have put me for the shuttle Parking isn't free Won't be coming back.

Great service, very clean place.

1 bedding was very comfortable 2 room was clean 3 staff was friendly and welcoming Negative Things: 1 needs remodeling ASAP- flooring old, shower tile old, need outlets that can accommodate basic devices like cellphones, laptop. 2 see through toilet paper 3 outrageous parking fee $18 4 expected more than continental breakfast

Clean room, quiet, and easy cheap late check out if you need it!

Interior is a bit dated, however kept very clean and organized. Friendly and supportive staff.

Staff was excellent/ nice touch with the cookies

Parking is $18 and not listed anywhere. Should be noted to give visitors the option to stay there or some where else.

We had a water front room with balcony. The room was clean and had additional outlets to charge phone and laptop. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was simple, bagels, fruit and cereals. We loved the 5pm cookies secured fir us by front desk.

Breakfast was ok not great.

Loved being able to realx in the sun by the pool - and enjoy the heat of the hot tub after a long work day :-)

Sorry you have to charge for parking now ? Otherwise it's an outstanding place to stay that I will return to when visiting the Bay Area.

Certain areas in the hotel need serious treatment

good

Complimentary breakfast is great! Even the staff! We had a pleasant stay!

I did not like that I had to pay 18 dollars for parking plus 100 deposit….. the buffet is just continental breakfast.

The hotel was nice and clean. Very good location to walk around the park by the water. There are two restaurants walking distance as well. They have a free shuttle to take you places close by especially convenient to the airport. It took like 10 to 15 minutes. Would definitely stay there again.

All was good except that this facility charges $18.00 daily for parking which was a total surprise for me! Expedia does not advise this when making a reservation.

The customer service was amazing only problem I had was couple

Smooth check in, great location with parkings available, relatively clean. What surprise me is how sturdy the bed is. Bathroom is tucked away from bed and desk area so you won’t feel uncomfortable if somebody can hear your private time, you know what I mean. This place gives me the value I look for in a hotel stay.

Wonderful front desk staff. Beautiful, quiet and peaceful property overlooking an old harbor. Close to walking trails, parks, the bay and 2 golf courses

nice location

Cute, tiny affordable rooms. Clean, decent breakfast. A pleasant surprise.

Ok would stay again, it’s just old as crap

This property sits nearly on San Francisco Bay near beautiful Marina Park. The park has a walking loop right on the bay. Its very nice. I had a room on the back of the facility on the second floor. The view was great. The Marina is no longer functional but the wildlife is wonderful. The facility is very clean and staff very nice. I appreciated the reasonable price.

Property was very quiet and room was very nice large and spacious staff was most helpful

ok.

Perfect place

The view from my balcony

Nice stay

Everything was great. Wasn't aware that it is $18.00 a day to park. But everything else was good 😊👍

Breakfast should be eliminated for a cheaper stay, 18$ to park is slightly excessive. Breakfast had what was listed online but not worth anything extra. Pool is nice area seems like it use to be a nice area now a fishing hotel.

My wife and I stayed at this property a few years ago. We loved it then, and I loved it now. Staff was outstanding, friendly, professional, and welcoming. I look forward to staying here again.

Property had decent sized rooms, a bit dated though

Counter staff were friendly, the room was comfortable and neat and clean. Overall stay 4 star good. Some amenities, some coffee, tea and a bottle of water in the room which was fine but the $18.00 a day for parking!!

This place is great and the owners are fantastic worth every penny and it was not expensive they take good care of the property. It’s very pretty. There’s nowhere, where you can’t look that you can’t see something nice! This place is so close to the bay. You don’t need your car, but do you remember the hill is steep as you walk down it to get to the bay!

It’s a bit dated but a good value for the price.

They charging for the parking $18 extra

Nice view

The breakfast

Very comfortable, home feel, nice staff.

Nice location at good price

It was nice.

The air conditioning system didn’t work and kept giving an error . It was so hot in the room.

Everything is clean and they take pride in their services. Just no breakfast and $18 a day for parking when there is so much parking. I don't think they should be charging guests for this. Also there is a restaurant next door and no one pays for parking there but still part of hotel.

Great stay, only complaint is the floors in between rooms needed better insulation. We could hear the people upstairs walking around all night and morning.

Breakfast options were terrible…waffles with no syrup, nothing that was remotely appealing or healthy except fruit and yogurt. NO INTERNET access that is usable. Couldn’t check in or order an Uber.

Rooms are a good size, but dark. Decently maintained, but could use update to the carpet and furnishings to brighten up the room. Acrylic shower floor was patched in many places. Did not like the feel of the sheets. Cotton would feel better.
