Excellent place to stay
My husband and I spent the night after attending a wine anniversary party and felt the room was very nice and clean. Checking in with Raul, he was so pleasant so nice and so friendly. We enjoyed our stay very much. The only downside was we had loud people above us.

A great stay in Marina.
This was a good clean hotel room. One of the highlights was when we checked in the young man at the reception desk had some recommendations of local sights to see and restaurants to dine at. We followed his advice and we were very pleased with the outcome. The hotel shares a corner lot with a gas station which was quieter than I expected and convenient when we needed it.

Affordable and not to far from all of the action
The only complaint I have is that there was not a stopper for the bathtub. Not a huge deal, would have rather sat in some hot water for a while after a 7 hour drive but I'm not that picky. Despite the condition of the area, I had and overall great experience.

Everything was great. Would give 5 stars if someone came to fix bed and change towels. Don’t know what happened there.

Decent clean stay at Marina
Spacious rooms, decently clean and tidy.
Beds were good enough for a good night’s sleep. The grab-and-go breakfast was a nice touch too.

Cheap not Safe
Too many outside extra in rooms next and across. Needs security to watch suspicious activity all night long. Office should be available at all times. You pay what you get for. Stay safe!
