I was a bit worried because the area this is in is not the nicest (I’m from here). However I was pleasantly surprised. There was ample parking and the hotel seemed safe. The room was pretty nice, nothing spectacular, but comfortable. The guy in the office was helpful. I would definitely stay again.

It was very convenient. The restaurant I went to was just around the corner so that was good. It was cleanly, it had an extra blanket if I got cold and the manager showed me how to turn the heater on (it was kinda weird). I was able to turn on the TV (I had trouble at another place a few years ago). So all in all, it was a good night there. The bed was comfortable as well. Since I was just there for one night, I didn't use the shower or anything.

Not worth the money.

The worst hotel I've stayed at in a long time. This is an old flaking paint motel and not the Inn it pretends to be. The room smelled of mold. The shower handle fell off. The toilet handle looked like it wanted to fall off. The toilet was small. Room service kept trying to come in even though i had the "Do not disturb" notice on the door handle. There is another hotel with this name in the area and I think they enjoy the confusion over that much better property who's web site comes up if you try to research Marina Inn. The cost was atrocious considering the quality of room and facilities.

Nice staff at this family run motel BUT thin walls and noisy neighbors next door and above made for a sleepless night. Unfortunately, as nice as they were they would not offer any kind of deal after such a rough night. This alone will keep me from ever staying again. Disappointed for sure.
