My husband and I were picking up our son from Summer School, we needed a place to stay for only one night and came across this hotel in Expedia. It’s a nice small hotel. Room was clean, bed comfortable. Bathroom clean. Fast and easy check in and check out. Restaurants and convenience stores nearby. It’s a great option, and we highly recommend it.

Nice place to stay, in the heart of all things Berkeley! Easy walk to cute coffee shops and eateries. Asian, Mexican, and many other types of restaurants are a short walk. The price was great comparatively to bigger name hotels and motels.

I stay at The Marina Inn whenever I am in town. These are always family visits a few times a year. The desk staff are marvelous. There are restaurants up and down the street. The house keeping service for the rooms is first class. I usually stay for over a week at a time, so I notice the condition of the rooms on a continual basis.

I’ve stayed at the Marina Inn several times and will come back again. It’s well-maintained with friendly, helpful staff, and the protected (included) parking lot is a big plus. Thanks, guys.
