Great Stay!!!

Our experience was great! It is right next to the beach, walking distance to State Street and super friendly employees. The room was clean and towels were plenty. Also plenty of pillows. Parking was right in front of the room. They have a very good breakfast with several options. We will definitely go back again.

8/10 Very good

We had a lovely stay at the Marina Beach Hotel! Overall, very satisfied with the staff, cleanliness and accommodations. We booked a king bed which made the room a little tight.

Perfect Hotel

Everything about this hotel was so well done! The beds and linens were very comfortable and they provided plenty of pillows. We appreciated that the twin pull out bed was already made inside and my son said it was the most comfortable of that type of bed that he has slept on. The room decor and updated remodel was well done. The location was perfect for us - within walking distance to the Amtrak, Moxi, harbor, and promenade. We will be back!

Get away

The room was a bit small but nicely appointed. The pillows were too thick so had to sleep flat. Despite these everything else was great! Great location.
Becky, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Best place to stay near the pier.

Stayed here as a waypoint going to San Diego. Clean, freshly renovated and within walking distance of the pier and restaurants. The breakfast selections were better than most places like this. It was the only motel that had no vacancies they day we stayed, which speaks for itself.
