Great basic room for a good price - wifi and tv yes but not other amenities
No air conditioning
Clean but small room - just what I needed
3.0
Given the neighborhood and price, I expected less. For example, the bed was more comfortable than expected and the area mostly quiet at night. But the lighting was either dim or glaring, making reading difficult. Heat is provided by an electric space heater, which was not quite adequate on cold nights. And most of all whatever cleaning products are used have an overwhelming scent and irritated my eyes and throat. If management used more eco-friendly products, the place could be a little gem. Very clean, nicely decorated, and within walking distance of Berkeley's Fourth Street shops.

Great. The ac didn’t work but we had a fan. They told us in advance and said we can cancel if the fan is not enough.

No air conditioning, no soap and train horn woke us late at night but otherwise a good stay at reasonable rate

I don’t usually stay in hotels like this, but I was pleasantly surprised! Rooms were a bit dated but in good condition. There was no ac, it they had fans in place to make things comfortable. Hotel is run by a family who was very nice.

One night stay for business. My expectations were low given the area and price however the parking, room and service were all good. The bed was comfortable and the room was spotless. I would definitely recommend this place.
6.0
Staff were very friendly and room seemed clean overall (except for mold/dirt around bathroom window frame). This is a very basic, old-fashioned motel in a not-so-nice part of Berkeley. It was fine for a one night stay for a good price. Free parking was a plus.
5.0
The staff at this motel are terrific. Check-in was fast and easy. I had emailed ahead to request a ground floor room as my suitcases were heavy, and received a return email confirmation the same day (the property is a two floor walk up). The room is clean and the bathroom fixtures have been updated. There is a small microwave, refrige, coffeemaker and tv in the room. There was a portable tower fan instead of a wall air conditioner, I'm not sure if this is permanent.
8.0
It was clean and comfortable. Felt safe and was in great location. Staff was nice.
My critique is that there was no air conditioning. You just had a fan. Granted, it is the Bay Area and doesn’t get too hot. Also, if you wanted any shampoo or conditioner or soap you have to ask for it as it’s not in the room.
8.0
Good location. Be sure to ask for soap, shampoo as needed, it is not stocked in the room. There is notification about this at the front check-in desk.

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.

Christy was an excellent host and was very accomodating. The property was well kept. We felt secure. We will stay there again when visiting our son at Berkeley.

seemed to be a lack of sound proofing between rooms ?? too easy to hear voices and talking of surroumnding guests

The staff was extremely helpful for me and the rooms were very clean. Only problem is, without opening windows it gets very hot in the rooms.

Ezy check in, with friendly staff. Clean, basic room. Lots of places to eat nearby, and a 10 minute walk to the nearest Bart station (North Berkeley)

Free parking, clean and friendly staff.

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.

This is an old property that is well maintained. The staff was awesome! I was staying to attend an event at UC Berkeley. At the event I seriously cut my finger. In the morning after I needed a bandaid. They not only gave me a bandage, they also provided antibiotic ointment. I felt taken care of and really appreciated that. I’d definitely stay here again if I catch another show at the Greek Theater at UC Berkeley/

Small Motel with great-sized rooms that included mini fridge/microwave, desk w/chair, and nice sized bathroom. Everything was clean and well-kept
5.0
Great place for the money. Of all the hotels on University this is easily the cleanest and best kept. Getting in and out may be the only issue but as long as you're careful it's not an issue
10.0
Easy and fast check in, provide map and toiletries (shampoo and soap) at front desk. Walking distance from bus routes to UC Berkeley and Oakland downtown. Room was clean and quiet, good water pressure and temperature in shower. Great place to stay, affordable
10.0
Simple check in, very polite staff. Very tidy room, comfortable bed, all the items needed.
4.0
Excellent price in an expensive area with a clean room; but would've liked to have 2 beds rather than just 1.
10.0
The manager was very nice. It was hot but the fan kept me comfortable. The neighborhood is not as nice as other hotels but those are $100 more. I just wantes safe parking, comfortable bed, good tv and shower. Marina Inn has all these things.
Great price.
Thank you

Good place to crash for an evening after a show! Staff were nice, room was clean and parking lot if safe. No AC so if it were the peak of summer would be way too hot and sheets were pretty scratchy. But in a good spot and a pretty walk able area
10.0
Super clean. Recently renovated, no carpet so no foul smell

The outside area seems rough, but the room definitely makes up for it! Super clean, super nice bathrooms as well.
4.0
Marina Inn was in a very convenient spot which helped me in the purpose for my visit to Berkeley (moving). It’s close to restaurants, shops, and anything else you may need. The check in and out process is very easy and the staff is friendly and helpful. I would revisit if I needed a temporary stay in the East Bay again due to all of these factors. I also liked that there was off street, free parking so my partner and I could have peace of mind about our car being parked overnight. If you are looking to have basic needs met (bed, quiet room, heat, microwave, small fridge) the Marina Inn is a good option.
10.0
Marina Inn was fabulous… Reasonably priced, clean, well located, great staff, lovely room… This is my new fav place in Berkeley.
