Good, Convenient Place to Stay

Marina Motel was a great choice for us on our trip to San Francisco. We utilized the city bus for our transportation needs with the exception of to/from the airport. It's a quaint, old school property with lots of charm. We anticipated the small room with an older urban hotel. The only negatives were a very rude, noisy guest next to us and the heater not working. There was a small space heater in the closet which we found out about the second day. Street noise is significant but we expected that in the middle of a large city. An option of a softer pillow would have made sleeping much better too. We loved being able to walk to local restaurants on Chestnut St only 2 blocks away.

What a lovely and unique hotel! We would definitely stay here again. Next time, we would upgrade to a larger room, but the price is very fair for what you get, including the free and easy parking. There is a lot of charm, with well-tended gardens. Staff are very friendly.

Last minute booking

We were on a 9 day road trip and wanted to find a place to rest on our way to the pacific northwest.We searched for a motel after normal check-in time,and found this Marina Motel with a little discount for late booking.We arrived in the evening,checked in.Garages were available which was great,parking a rental car on the street is not very safe.Room was super comfy with a kitchen.We were traveling with our fur baby,they are pet friendly!We LOVED our stay,as short as it was...Totally recommend!!

This is the second time we have stayed at this property, even though it looks old and not super clean. We liked it due to the location, having parking, and having a kitchen. This time, we should have raised an issue when we noticed some reddish brown streaks at the corners of the bed under the mattress. We were in a hurry that evening so we figured maybe it’s not bugs, so we’ll just be careful and keep all clothes and luggage’s off of the ground since it’s just one night. That was a HUGE mistake on our part. For more than 5 weeks since we’ve been back, all of us have had new bug bites on our bodies, even after washing our beddings multiple times. I have unfortunately had bed bugs (?) from hotels and motels in the past but have been able to get rid of them or not notice them anymore after about a week. So this is definitely the worse infestation that we have contracted from a hotel. I like that hotel location, but can never go back to it again now.

Wonderful location and space with safe parking.

The room was very clean, and well maintained. It was only a short walk to many attractions, restaurants, and public transportation. We left our car in the private garage for each room had and we were able to do everything we wanted using the city bus.

An older motel with individual garages

This affordable motel was bit farther from Fisherman's Wharf than we hoped. However the convenient access from US Hwy 101 and modest rates made this a deal. And Mel's Diner was only 2 blocks away!
