I like Marinwood Inn. It is fairly quiet, even though it's near the 101 highway. The meandering quality of the buildings feels kind of homey. The staff is great, too.

Overall a convenient, affordable and comfortable stay. While other aspects of the room appeared clean I do recommend that the carpets in my room need cleaning.

The parking aspect was great! I appreciate the condo like setup. All the amenities were there. Didn’t need for anything. Bottles of water in the room would have been a great touch but just my preference. Would definitely stay again

Housekeeping staff were great and everyone was friendly. Place could use updating. My only real complaint is that the bed was not very comfortable and the pillows were awful. The breakfast was okay but the coffee was great! Very reasonably priced. All things considered, I was happy with my stay.

The manager wasn't particularly helpful, and breakfast consisted of stale or expired food, with the coffee machine not even working. And the tap water in the rooms was dirty.

I was greeted by a friendly gentleman and really liked that my room included a garage to park in. The room was very clean except for the very worn and stained carpet. The bed was okay although the pillows were very lumpy. I do give Housekeeping 5-Stars.
