What guests think

At Marina Village Inn, guests highlight the scenic waterfront setting, generally clean, updated rooms, quiet surroundings, and easy, safe parking at reasonable prices, while noting the older exterior, ongoing renovations, and convenient access to San Francisco.

Many love the marina views, waterfront walking paths, and balcony/patio outlooks. Common drawbacks include the pool being closed, thin walls and noise from neighbors, occasional maintenance issues, and inconsistent Wi‑Fi. Service is often friendly and helpful, though some reported billing problems, early 10 a.m. checkout, and lapses in professionalism. Expect a simple, waterfront stay with standout views and variable polish.

We chose Marina Village Inn as it is conveniently located near our regatta destination Encinal Yacht Club. We were completely impressed with Mark at reception who was friendly, helpful, and informative. He even took the time to give us a tour of the property and point out the best way to walk to stores and restaurants with recommendations. The lobby offers coffee and bagged pastries throughout the day. Nearby you will find, ice, a water filling station and laundry facilities. The rooms are quite nice with comfortable beds and bedding, also in- room coffee and yummy chocolates as well as the other essentials you would expect. We could hear upstairs guests stomping around some but the property is very peaceful and serene. I recommend the marina view room as its worth it. Views are lovely. We will make Marina Village Inn our choice for future visits to the area.

Both of the front desk guys were awesome. This is a small, rustic property directly on the marina. Great for walking. Marina and lovely city views in background. Awesome views if you have a room facing the water. I would NOT stay in a room without a balcony or patio. The property is under construction and pool is closed. Will be even better once finished.

There is NO pool, it has been drained for years and has two fences around it, the building is falling apart with some areas that look dangerous, and smells like years of cigarette smoke. The walls are very thin, you can hear every cough and footstep. The rooms are in disrepair, paint chipping, dried stains on the walls - though they are swept and the linens seem clean.

I was looking for something clean, affordable, and convenient while visiting for the holidays. This was definitely it. Pros: - Clean, crisp linens - Comfortable bed & pillows - No bugs! - Vinyl floor instead of gross carpet - Microwave & mini fridge - Free parking - Scenic area - Friendly staff Cons: - No real closet - Stall shower/odd bathroom w/sticky door - Loud heater w/one speed It’s not luxury but for the price, it was definitely worth it. Loved being able to park in the lot safely for free, considering the Oakland options we were debating. The staff was accommodating to our late arrival. Would stay here again.

I enjoyed the hotel. The inside of the room was outstanding. The bed was comfortable and the view was good. It was very clean and it did not smell like perfumes. The front door stuck and needed an extra push to open. I believe it was the paint but adjusting the door would correct that. The pool was closed and they were working on rooms in the other building. The lobby was clean. It was hard to get to the hotel because it is not too close to the freeway but it's worth it.

The location of the motel is excellent, but unfortunately, the cleanliness left a lot to be desired. I was very disappointed. The towels were in terrible condition, the soap appeared to be diluted with water, and the bed sheets had noticeable stains. Worst of all, I found a needle near the toilet, which was extremely alarming and unacceptable.

No room service number on the phone. The hand soap was mostly water, went to the reception to ask for another one, it was also watered down. There was not an iron in the room so I went to the office AGAIN since I couldn’t call them from the room and they told me to GO LOOK for the house keeper and ask them for one. Walked around the property till I finally found them and was late to my event. There was a whole in the room which ran a cable to the TV and that made me very uncomfortable. Also the wifi didn’t work at all which I kind of depended on for work. The room was very spacious and had a beautiful view to the piers but the service is horrible and I was disgusted that the soaps are prefilled with water. Definitely management needs improvement but it’s got a lot of potential.

The reason I rated this low as almost terrible was due to being waken up at 3 Freaggin AM by the people upstairs. They were banging and moving furniture. Sounded like someone was bouncing a basketball. I called the Front desk twice and it took 30 Mins for it to finally stop. If u ever stay here, do yourself a favor, DO NOT stay on the first floor. Not unless u want to don’t enjoy a good nights rest. Everything else was great. Location, room clean, attentive staff.

The bathroom was dirty there was home alone that I had to plug in because I wasn't sure if there was a mouse it was going to come through it. I made a reservation online for myself and my aunt who's in a wheelchair. The gentleman desk said he only had an upstairs room available which what is almost impossible to carry my aunt upstairs and her wheelchair with my arthritic knees. He said for $75 more he could give us different room but it was also upstairs. I already paid $120 which was too much for that place anyway. There was barely any cars in the parking lot and after he told me he could not help us I went online and saw there were many rooms available. It was super frustrating and disheartening that this gentleman could not be a little more empathetic towards my aunt's disability. So we drove her all the way to San Leandro back to my other aunt's house so she could sleep on their couch and I stayed in the filthy room by myself! I will never stay here or again!

Everything about the stay was poor from check in to check out. Check in was supposed to be at 3, room wasn’t ready until 4. Asked for a late checkout due to the hour it took for the room to be ready, and the receptionist said she would make note of a late check out, and we were still interrupted by housekeeping 45 min before our “late checkout.” Receptionist seemed flustered and had no solutions to solve any problem we had. No hairdryer in room, cabinets and shower shelving ripped out of the walls, lack of body wash and hand soap. When we returned to the room in the evening after leaving, there was a spider on the bed. Will not be returning.

The location is great. It's right on the estuary, with a harbor full of boats outside your door. The parking lot is large and has plenty of parking. There are walking trails along the water. The ongoing renovations were not a disruption. The recently renovated room I stayed in was clean and nicely done. It's a great price for a short stay in a good location.
