Old Marina Inn

I did not see any breakfast. Staff was nice room was satisfactory

No air. No extra lock on door

Conveniently located on Del Monte Ave. off Highway 1 in Marina is about the only positive thing I can say this place. The mattress was lumpy, the towels were thin and one had holes in it, the tv was set to Spanish with Spanish subtitles and the room was very hot. They had a cheap fan that only cooled the room off after it the sun set and the bedroom and bathroom and bathroom windows were left open. They didn’t have an ice machine and the refrigerator didn’t work very well. The step into the room was unusually high, so you need to be careful . when entering a leaving the room. If I could give this establishment a negative score I would.

Front desk stayed very long opeb/awake for my late check-in

It’s centrally located and there was plenty of parking. Bed was comfortable, but not enough pillows.

Steps to room are brick, too steep, and wonky - they would not be considered to code now. Doors do not have an added security latch at the top, and the door key was sticky. Carpet smelled of solvent and interior door mat was still wet. Furnishings are very dated but functional. Windows need to be replaced with triple panes. Lots of exterior noise. Parking lot lighting at night is atrocious (think MLB stadium bright), which required rigging the black out curtains, and it never quite worked, so room was not dark enough. The bathroom is tiny, but functional. Shower is very dated with a significant step up, very slippery interior, and there was no bath mat provided. We had to use a towel on the floor to provide some traction. First shower had multiple unpleasant temperature variants. 2nd was better - I’d recommend individual room on-demand water heaters or similar. Bathroom window has no screen and needs to be updated. For having two queen beds, the room should have been furnished with enough towels for a family of four - they provided only two sets. Refrigerator and wall heater are loud, and the heater pilot runs 24/7. Fridge cycles too much. I would update rooms with quieter mini-splits. TV and remote worked. The room has a table and two chairs, but no easy-to-access wall outlets and charging ports.

The property was quiet. The decor was from the 70’s-80’s era.
