Marina Inn and Suites - San Diego

Other than the small parking spaces, this place was great. The hotel staff was very helpful with necessary needs from hotel items to finding a nice place to eat. I would recommend this place to others and would stay here on future visits to San Diego, CA

This inn had more of a motel feel to it than an inn & suites, but it was a lot cleaner than I expected. The parking was free, which was nice, and it was pretty close to the trolley stop. It was pretty close to Gaslamp District without the outrageous price, so it was good value for the money.

Room was small and dirty. Shower was just a hole in the wall. Parking lot is small. Would not stay there ever again

Great location for this area: Two blocks to the harbor and two blocks to Little Italy and great eats. I encountered several clerks in the lobby during my three night stay. All were extremely friendly, polite and professional. On the down side of things was my non-smoking room that had a very strong and persistent smoked in stench. Also, the bed was […] a bit of a funky, lumpy experience. But the location, value, and friendly staff will undoubtedly have me on the return list. Read more

Noisy - major street - train tracks - airport - other rooms Parking - on the weekend you can never find a spot and will have you park on the street several blocks away Showers - ran out of hot water several times - very small (claustrophobic) TV - unless you are a fan of the 80's you won't love the CRT

Internet does not reach the outer rooms, The so called breakfast was non existent. The only good thing about this hotel was the distance from the San Diego Airport. This hotel should not be rated 2 1/2 stars. One and a half stars would be a stretch.

It was a layover fom Hawaii to New Hampshire. It was fine.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room itself was nice, for the price and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. It's not a posh hotel, but if you're looking for a nice overnight place for a reasonable price, near the airport, this is great :-)

The hotel is old but in livable condition. Our stay was not good the first night due to noise from the room directly above our. I called the desk twice to complain. The location was perfect for our needs.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This facility does not have some of the amenities one receives in more expensive setting, no slick computer room, or abundant breakfasts, though the coffee was good. Easy walking to transportation, restaurants, and many tourist sights. Some street noise. The staff was friendly and helpful with directions and suggestions.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This hotel, only two stories and facing mostly towards the harbor, wasn't so bad. There is a bit of noise, being at the intersection of two busy streets, as well as having a railroad behind it, wasn't so bad. I think they have about 30 rooms, and the amenities are few. An ice machine, older televisions but with a full spread of channels. The room we […] were in didn't have a bathtub, just a shower stall. In a pinch though you can get two people into the stall but don't bend over! I didn't notice an elevator for the top floor, but there is a ramp to get to the first floor if you're in a wheel chair. No hottub or swimming pool, but if your reason for visiting San Diego is either to spend the weekend in your room, or to get out and see the sights then who cares? It's a bit of a walk to the USS Midway (.8 miles), but if you don't mind the trek it's a very short walk to the harbor. There is a Denny's within walking distance too if you want a diner that is as good, or as bad, as a typical Denny's. Not bad for the price, but ultimately a little noisy if you just want piece and quiet. Read more

My recent stay at the Marina Inn and Suites was a pleasant one. The King Room was clean and comfortable. Only complaint was regarding the TV, an older TV that did not get that great of reception, however we did not spend much time in the room watching TV, just had it on as we went to sleep. A light "Continental" Breakfast was available in the lobby […] to bring back to your room. Hotel was close to all the Marina attractions and walking distance to Little Italy. Neighborhood was OK, comfortable enough to walk to Little Italy. Biggest issue was the parking lot, it's small and a tight squeeze manuvering into the spaces. But overall a nice place. Read more

This place was not great, but just fine for the price I paid. My main complaint: no coffee in the Lobby in the AM!!!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Great location w/parking. On the border of Little Italy - great place to stroll and eat. Easy walk to Maritime Museum, well worth the $ and time.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The person who checked us in wa extremely nice. They said breakfast was available from 7am - 930am which consists of a hard boiled egg and orange juice or coffee. The rooms felt dirty and smelled dirty. Definately took the comforter off the bed since it was extremely dusty. The location is nice but you get what you pay for. I wouldn't recommend this […] hotel but if you're looking for an old vintage cheap type of room this is it. Read more

A hotel close to the sea shore. Walking distance to the maritime museum. Breakfast is too simple. But can be counted as a decent place for students or young couple.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I definitely would not choose to stay here again, but if you don't mind staying at a cheap and dirty motel near the harbour, this would be one choice. I picked the Marina Inn for an overnight stay on New Years Eve as it was inexpensive and fairly close to the Hilton Bayfront where they were holding a NY Eve gala. Upon arrival, I was immediately informed […] that we had to transfer to their Hotel Circle sister property in Mission Valley. No explanation followed until I said "That's not acceptable." Turned out it was because of an electrical outage affecting some of the units. Needless to say, I was less than pleased and expressed a fair amount of anger and frustration over this. Fortunately raising a stink worked as they miraculously found us a room and we didn't have to transfer to the other property. If they had not accommodated us, that would have put a severe dent in our NY Eve plans and I would be writing a much worse review than this one. Aside from the electrical issue, this motel is clearly not well-maintained. The dresser drawers in our room would not close and in general the room was dirty. I had one other "freak out session" when I could not find a hair dryer in the room. Apparently they get stolen so you have to request one from the front desk. Would have been nice to have known that ahead of time. Read more

The rooms were clean, parking was tight, the "Continental breakfast" was the mini cereal boxes, a pot of coffee, some hard boiled eggs and wrapped small pastries. We ran the A/C unit to drown out the noise from the street. That worked well but the tenant above us we could hear walking around until 2:00 in the morning. The TV's are standard definition […] and many of the stations are fuzzy. Wi-Fi was good since the motel is so small. Except for the noise issue, it was pretty much what we expected. Read more

My husband and I stayed there two night. We stayed in room 103. The place was good. Great for what we payed. Pros: good service, good location as it was close to tons of stuff, and clean rooms. Our bathroom may have been for handicapped persons but regardless it was big, considering what I had read in other posts. Gust services was great! Can't say […] that enough. Cons: the airplanes fly so low you hear them all night and morning. Not a problem for me, I'm a heavy sleeper but I can't say the same for my hubby. Our room had thin walls and windows. We could hear conversations outside our room. All in all, we just went there to sleep, so we enjoyed our stay. Read more

Hotel was very clean and they actually gave us a bigger room than we requested.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Well-managed and well-maintained in excellent location: close to mass transit, downtown , waterfront and airport. However, rooms on bottom floor are noisy because you can hear every sound from the room above you.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great for the price! It's an older building so the room wasn't like new, but it was clean and the beds were very comfortable. The staff was attentive and helpful, and they offered a free continental breakfast. Another perk was that they had free parking available; the lot was small, and one night when we got back after 11PM there weren't any spaces […] left. However, there is a lot of street parking near by and other inexpensive lots. You could hear the trains and airplanes passing by, but the sound didn't interfere with our sleeping. Read more

Our room was musty smelling and next to laundry facility, tucked into a hallway with no natural light. Had to pick up a candle to clear the air of musty odor. Continental breakfast was passable, good coffey, tea and orange juice. not up to a quality standard. Only good thing about it was price and proximity to bay and car return.

The manager of the hotel was a really special lady. I appreciated her very much. Staff was very willing to help.

Its a motel for individuals who need a place to sleep in, the rooms are a good size and the front desk staff are very nice.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Hardly slept. They put us in room on corner of hotel. The hotel is on the Pacific Coast Highway on a corner by a stoplight. Super noisy all night . Hardly slept.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This place was really bad. The staff was rude, very limited parking. I had to park a couple blocks away on street. I was surpriced to find my car still there in morning. The bathroom was'nt very clean and also in need of some updating. Lots of outside noise made it hard to get any sleep. I would not stay there again.

Overall, I really enjoyed my stay & the friendly staff! Yes, there is the noise of a train passing but it didn't keep me or my fiance up at all! We slept comfortably & REALLY enjoyed the neighborhood!! Little Italy right around the corner :) :)

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Though the location was good and convenient to downtown, the room was not very clean. The bathroom seat needs to be replaced as it is obviously very dirt. The parking lot is extremely small and cramped. It is very close to the marina area and downtown.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The service was only ok. They were helpful as they held our bags all day until we could check in. However, we called for extra pillows and never received a reply (or the pillows). It was affordable and is located in a decent place. (It's not as scary as folks make it sound.) I'd return again.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is ok. But its location is not. It is located about 5 min from the airport, so its convenient, but you can hear every plane. From two sides it is surrounded by highways, which is fine. But there is the railroad the third side of it. And that what pretty harsh! Every time the train was passing by it was blowing the honk. I dont know why, but […] it was very loud! We thought we won't be able to sleep, but we were getting so exhausted by traveling that we didn't care. If you are planning to have such an active vocation as we did, you will be fine with that too. There are few more( even more expensive) but they still are in the same location. The AC was weak Read more

This was the weekend of comic-con so naturally prices were inflated, so perhaps I shouldn't be so offended. However, for the Four Seasons price we paid, to get one bed and have to sign out for a hairdryer at the front desk rather than having one in the room or at the very least being brought one on request, I was a little annoyed. Furthermore you could […] hear everything going on outside the rooms which open to the open air. All through the night there were people outside shouting and clanking beer bottles around. The hotel was about a mile and a half from the convention center, the best we could find for a a month and a half before the convention. The staff was nice enough, but this is the most money I've spent on a motel experience. Read more

A good location, about a mile from the Convention Center and downtown. For the price, this was great. The room was a little small, and had the fairly typical furnishings of a low-budget hotel. It was clean, the bed was comfortable, and the air conditioner worked great. However, the A/C was loud, and you're right near the train tracks and under the flight […] path for SAN. I'm a light sleeper, but with the air con going, I didn't have any problems with noise. Read more

I was in shock when I came back from a baseball game and found out there were no parking spaces. I got no satisfaction from the manager when he told me I should have looked at the signs outside. He told us to park on a very busy street with parking meters. He then told us we needed to move our car in the early morning to prevent getting a ticket.

This was in a real good locations for the San Diego Convension center and in the evenings to the Gas Light District. Hotel was small and parking is tight. Rooms are clean, which is the most important to me.

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. It was a moderate room and I got a good deal on the price so that was nice. The only problem was the noise level. You are right next to two busy streets, the airport, a train, a harbor, and lastly a trolly station. So your pretty much getting noise constantly. If you a light sleeper I would probably go some where else. […] But beside that it's an o.k. place. Read more
